Fermented chaga pro podporu celkové odolnosti v obdobích zvýšeného stresu - 60 kapslí
Dietary supplement with fermented vital chaga mushroom to support normal immunity. It is also ideal for supporting overall resilience during periods of increased stress.
The chaga mushroom, also known as the "diamond of the forest", has traditionally been used to support overall immunity and increase resilience in times of stress. Living Nutrition uses only wild-grown berries, grown on birch trees.
This makes it as potent as its wild relatives in the forests of Eastern Europe and Russia, where chaga originally comes from. Chaga is not actually a fungus, but a "cone" or sclerotium that draws many nutrients into itself from the host tree. This makes chaga a key source of the terpenoid betulinic acid and the antioxidant melanin.
In our assortment you will find Siberian chaga mushroom in many dietary supplements, whether it is capsules or truffles, syrup, tea or a potent mixture with wild oregano - you will find it all in this category.
Summary of benefits
- 600 mg of fermented chaga mushroom in one dose.
- Rich in betulinic acid and antioxidants including melanin.
- Increased durability and overall protection.
- The capsules provide the highest bioavailability thanks to the patented triple fermentation.*
- All Living Nutrition health food supplements are certified organic by the British Association of Controlled Agriculture, Soil Association Organic.
*the extent to which a specific tissue or organ absorbs a substance after oral ingestion in order for the substance to have the desired effect on the body.
Living Nutrition is different from competing common dried adaptogenic herb blends - they use a patented kefir-combucha fermentation - the body perfectly absorbs the nutrients contained.
Fermentation of the vital reishi mushroom is the best way to activate the compounds it contains. Fermentation creates a highly bioavailable living synergy of micronutrients with an enhanced nutritional profile that will make you feel physically better and stronger.
Why take chaga
This powerful mushroom, also known as Hua Jie Kong Jun or "God's Gift" in Chinese, was used as a cure for cancer in ancient times. Shen Nung, the "father of Chinese medicine", called chaga "the king of herbs".
Interestingly, Otzi, the ice man who was preserved in ice and is believed to have lived around 3400 BC, had a chaga in his pouch.
Chaga is native to Siberia and the forests of the northern hemisphere, where it grows as a clump on birch trees. Interestingly, birch bark also contains betulin, a compound used in the treatment of cancer. However, if it is extracted directly from the tree, it is not safe to use. Chaga synthesizes betulin, making it safe for humans to consume.
- Energetically, chaga is sweet, slightly bitter and warming.
- Cree healers are known to use chaga as a moxie to promote the flow of energy or qi.
- Chaga is traditionally brewed for a long time and made into a decoction (a really strong tea), which is used in folk medicine for its effects.
- It is also known for improving cognitive function, boosting the immune system, blood circulation, and increasing strength and endurance.
- The Khanty people of western Russia mixed a decoction of chaga with lard to make an antibacterial soap for ritual washing and ablution of newborns and menstruating women.
Nutritional info

Kefir-kombucha fermented bio chaga (Inonotus obliquus) - 600 mg
Each capsule contains organic reishi spores, fermented over an extended period of time with a specific kefir-combucha process and then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all the unique nutrients.

Why fermented Living Nutrition products
Living Nutrition 's fermentation-activated capsules offer a superior level of active ingredients. Thanks to fermentation, these vital components are activated and the human body is able to absorb them and make the most of their positive effects. Fermented mushrooms retain their holistic synergy while being much more concentrated and bioavailable.
Thanks to the fermentation process, they are also rich in beneficial microbes, enzymes and contain a number of signal molecules specific to the fermentation process.
Each capsule contains organic chaga fermented over an extended period of time using Living Nutrition's signature kefir-kombucha method, then carefully freeze-dried to preserve all of the unique nutrients. The chaga is then encapsulated in an organic fermented tapioca capsule, so the entire supplement is truly 100% organic inside and out.
Who is behind the production?
The nutritional supplement is formulated by renowned English nutritional therapist, Graham Botfield, to achieve the right synergy of nutrients in which each food and herb perfectly complement each other. Only the best organic ingredients are used for freshness and vitality. The fermentation production process (details under the tab titled Fermentation Process) is also designed and controlled by Graham.
The production of each mixture in this product line is supervised individually, as each mixture has different composition, requirements and purpose. All fermented blends are gently freeze-dried to preserve their freshness and capture the highest possible amount of active nutrients.
Founder Graham Botfield is a nutritional therapist and researcher who specialises in the digestive microbiome and the traditional use of herbs. He has worked with respected dietary supplement brands, including New Chapter, whose founder and master herbalist Paul Schulick was a major influence on Graham's approach to developing nature-inspired supplements. Together with another colleague, an expert in microbiology, Graham is constantly developing new fermented products and researching their benefits.
Graham's great passion, besides fermentation, is education. He uses his research at Living Nutrition to lecture on the benefits of fermented plants for modern health conditions. At Living Nutrition, we continue to be inspired by Graham's research to create products that work in harmony with the body's natural ecology.

What are adaptogens
Adaptogens are used in situations where stress, a feeling of distress, physical strain, for example, is induced. At that moment, the organism fully adapts (the formation of non-specific resistance), which allows it to physiologically cope with mentally and physically stressful situations, stress, anxiety, increased physical stress, etc.
In short, your body adapts to the situation in no time and solves it in a calm manner. Adaptogenic substances increase the body's resilience in a psychologically demanding period. Our body is stronger and more vital.
Adaptogens are substances that increase the body's resilience during mentally challenging times.
- In general, two types of adaptogens are distinguished, calming and stimulating.
- In addition to holy basil, calming adaptogens include ashwagandha.
- Stimulant adaptogens include stonecrop root, poppy root or ginseng.
Adaptogens also have the ability to act where our body requires it, thus stabilizing all functional systems in the body.
WARNING: according to American dietitian Holly Herington, adaptogens don't work like a cup of coffee, you won't feel their effects immediately. It takes between 6 to 12 weeks for the adaptogens to build up in the body and you will notice a difference.

History of Living Nutrition
2014
LN's beginnings were very humble. Back then, everything was run from a single room in Graham's house in Sussex with some help from daughter Ella. The product line was initially launched with only one product, Your Flora, and the Signature herbal line.
2016
With the growing popularity and enthusiastic feedback reaching all over Europe, Graham began to develop and add more products. To manage the logistics, Living Nutrition moved under Living Planet Distribution so Graham could focus more on formulations and research.
2019
This has been a pivotal year for Living Nutrition. Their popularity has grown significantly due to customer feedback and interest in our fermentation. LN has won several awards, including the Natural and Organic award for best new herbal product for their fermented ashwagandha. They decided to take the big step and take fermentation into their own hands.
This has allowed them to introduce some innovations, including the use of the Flask system to "restructure" the input water and some new methods to increase the efficiency and diversity of the microbes in their fermentation process. In collaboration with research institutions, they have now been able to study the effects of our fermentation for different conditions.
2021
In April, LN introduced a second generation of products with new eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging and an even more effective line of fermented products.

"If we change our approach to medicine from fighting disease to creating health, we will move from mega-dosing inert nutrients to the more subtle healing elements found in nature. Then we will value plants for their natural intelligence that feeds information to our many cellular senses to promote healing. Fermentation is nature's alchemy that evolves plants to a higher level of vitality and nutrition, creating compounds that communicate balance and harmony to our bodies on all levels."

Living Nutrition's unique fermentation process
Step #1
At the beginning of this process is the careful selection of the freshest organic ingredients (biodynamic if possible). The water used is also double filtered and restructured using a specialised Flaska system.
Step #2
A highly concentrated and active inoculum is created by a hybrid of organic kefir grains and organic kombucha.
Step #3
An inoculum is added to the organic herbs and foods, the whole mixture is then fermented in small 10 litre batches under optimal conditions.
Step #4
After many weeks of care, including daily stirring and testing, fermentation is finally complete.
Step #5
The ferments are then carefully freeze-dried to remove all water and preserve all the delicate nutrients, enzymes and microbes.
Step #6
The finished product is finally sealed in an organic vegetable capsule wrapped in an amber glass bottle and 100% plastic-free packaging.
