Ground, raw Chaga has its benefits, however, chances are that it will pass through your digestive system with minimal absorption, since the human digestive tract lack the enzymes to completely break down the raw, woodsy Chaga mushrooms. It would take us 8-10 hours to absorb all the active ingredients, whereas in reality, it will pass through our gastrointestinal tract much quicker than that. Extract is not technically the raw mushroom – it’s actually a collection of all the active ingredients the Chaga mushroom released while we processed it. Plus, Chaga extract dissolves in water easily, and is therefore much easier to digest, allowing for a much better absorption. Here’s an example that may help you understand the benefits (other than we just mention above ) of using extract chaga powder vs. raw chaga – if you like coffee, there are several ways you can get it. You may plant and grow a coffee tree, harvest the coffee berries, extract the coffee beans, wash them, dry them, roast them, grind them, and brew your coffee with a sense of deep satisfaction, because you just made everything from scratch! You may also save yourself the time by simply buying coffee at the store and drinking it – a much shorter process, though just as effective. Processing Chaga is not too much different. You could fly to Siberia, harvest Chaga, bring it home, wash it, grind it, and brew it. You could also buy already ground Chaga, pour hot water over it, and let it brew for 8-10 hours. Or, you could buy Chaga Adaptogen extract, dissolve it in some liquid – and you have yourself a Chaga drink. The end result is the same for any of these methods – the time you put in to get to it is really the only difference. We must note that based on our observations, the active ingredients as an effective and proven natural remedy in raw Chaga mushroom start to degrade after one year (another reason why the extract is better to use – it stays effective for two years). Keep in mind that if you buy raw Chaga mushrooms, it may be hard to estimate how old they are, so the chances of one buying an old mushroom are pretty unpredictable. We have a stringent quality check process in place that we employ when manufacturing our Chaga extract, which helps tremendously to avoid any low-quality/old product. Oddly enough, once in a while we see situations where customers are charged high premium prices for raw Chaga mushroom, although the extract is much more potent, and also priced lower.
