Chaga mushroom is one of the few natural adaptogens that has been used in traditional medicine in Siberia and the Far East for thousands of years. Mind Shi Chaga Mushroom 1000 mg is a standardized organic extract of chaga sclerotia in a convenient vegan capsule format, GMO-free and animal-free.
What to consider when choosing chaga mushroom?
Each serving (2 capsules) contains 1000 mg of organic chaga mushroom extract ( Inonotus obliquus ), standardized to 30% beta-1,3/1,6-glucans . This is the key polysaccharide by which the quality of mushroom supplements is judged - and it is its concentration that is recorded on the label, not just declared.
The sclerotia of chaga are used - the solid body of the fungus, which is formed directly on the bark of the birch. Unlike the mycelium grown on grain, the sclerotia contain a higher concentration of beta-glucans, triterpenes and phytonutrients. The extract formula is 10:1 : 10 g of raw material per 1 g of finished extract.

How does sclerotia differ from mycelium on grain?
Most cheap mushroom supplements on the market are made from mycelium grown on rice or oat grains. The problem is that the grain base contains alpha-glucans, starchy polysaccharides that have no relevance to immune support but artificially inflate the total polysaccharide count on the label.
Chaga sclerotia are not grown on grains - they are formed naturally and accumulate beta-glucans, triterpenes and melanins in a concentrated form. Mind Shi indicates the confirmed content of beta-glucans directly on the packaging, which allows you to compare the product with other offers based on the actual indicator, not the marketing name.
Who is this format suitable for?
The capsule format is convenient for daily intake without the need to brew tea or decoction. Two vegcaps - and the daily portion is closed. The vegan capsule shell is suitable for various dietary practices, including plant-based nutrition.
The supplement is positioned as a support for adults who want to include a chaga-based adaptogen in their daily diet. The organic origin of the raw materials and the absence of synthetic additives make it a suitable choice for those who focus on the purity of the composition.
How to take Mind Shi chaga extract
Adults are recommended to take 2 capsules per day . The manufacturer does not regulate the specific time of administration - it is usually convenient to take with food.
Pregnant women, lactating women, or those taking any medications should consult a doctor before starting treatment.
Beta-glucans: why their content is important when choosing a supplement
Beta-glucans are the main active class of compounds in mushrooms, and it is their concentration that determines the value of a particular product. Low beta-glucan content in a supplement can be the result of poor quality raw materials, improper extraction, or dilution with fillers.
The 30% beta-1,3/1,6-glucan standard in Mind Shi Chaga Mushroom is a specific number confirmed by batch testing, not a general claim of “rich in polysaccharides.” For comparison, unstandardized chaga powders can contain anywhere from 1-2% to 8-10% beta-glucans, depending on the raw material and processing method.
Production quality and certification
The product is manufactured in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified facility. Each batch undergoes control: raw material inspection, contamination screening, active compound content testing. The organic origin of the raw materials excludes the presence of pesticides and synthetic additives.
Storage conditions
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if tamper evident seal is broken or missing.
