Siberian chaga mushroom extract ORAC more than Acai

IRKUTSK, Russian Federation - May 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Chaga  is an amazing herb that only grows in cold climates, and is most potent when exposed to temperatures under -40°C. Siberian Chaga is the most powerful antioxidant in its class, and has the highest antioxidant concentration of any known natural food. Chaga grows in Siberia, Korea, Canada, the Northern US and parts of the Carolina mountains. But, because of the extremely cold temperatures encountered in the Siberian forest, Siberian Chaga is the most potent variety worldwide. The health-giving potential of Siberian chaga is easy for science to understand - it is one of the most powerful, concentrated antioxidants known. Antioxidants improve health and slow aging because, as the National Cancer Institute explains it: "Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals." Chaga is the heavyweight champion of anti-oxidants, far outstripping pomegranates, acai berries or blueberries, and the cold Siberian climate produces the most potent chaga in the world.

Antioxidants...If you are not sure what this term means, please visit this page (http://www.chagatrade.ru/antioxidants.html) to find out. There is no argument that antioxidants are crucial for ones health. But, how do you know how much of these antioxidants to take? Scientists developed something called an ORAC scale, which is a standard recommended by USDA to measure antioxidant capacity. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity, or, in other words, the strength with which a given substance wipes out free radicals. Obviously, the higher the ORAC score, the more free radicals that certain substance can destroy.
FDA recommends that people consume between 4 to 13 ORAC units a day. Keep in mind that the more active you are, the higher the requirement for antioxidants in your body (contrary to popular belief, physical exercise actually increases the amount of free radicals in your body, so you should be consuming plenty of foods and drinks rich in antioxidants especially if you work out). Those who smoke or drink alcohol should increase their antioxidant intake well above the recommended dose. Chaga has the highest ORAC score ever recorded in any natural food! The powdered Chaga extract produced by Baikal Herbs Ltd has more than 153,200 ORAC units per 100 gram! according to Brunswick Labs.
But this result of testing shows ability of chaga extract to fight only one primary radical called peroxyl. In order to understand our chaga extract even better, Baikal Herbs Ltd has applied to Brunsweek Lab,USA for conducting the most thorough and sophisticated testing called ORAC 5.0. This new ORAC-based suite is called ORAC5.0™. It expands the ORAC platform to measure antioxidant capacity against five primary reactive oxygen species (commonly referred to as radicals)—peroxyl, hydroxyl, peroxynitrite, superoxide anion and singlet oxygen. At the moment no other chaga producer has this kind of test which reveals the full spectrum of antioxidative capacity of chaga extract ! It allows to determine chaga extract antioxidant capacity to fight against all 5 known radicals. The copy of this document can be sent on request.

Compared with other foods rich in antioxidants, such as blueberries or pomegranate Chaga is much higher in antioxidants, meaning that its capacity to wipe out free radicals is much stronger.

The color of the extract tells about the content of important curing substances such as Chromogenic complex(S.O.D.). The more Chromogenic complex content, the darker is the extract. Expressively light brown extracts contain not more than 35% of S.O.D, whereas the extract of our production has more than 51% of S.O.D. and is either dark brown or almost black in appearance.

However, here we would like to point out, that if chaga extract contains a high number of polysahharrides its solubility in water may worsen which is not the defect in any way but an opposite: high quantity of carbohidrates (polysahhirrides) makes the extract even more healthy but less soluble. The matter is that it is impossible to secure 100% color/solubility consistancy of the extract because our extract is made only from natural chaga mushroom which is wild grown and every single mushroom has various content of Chromogenic complex and polysaccharides that effects the physical properties of the extract. Baikal Herbs Ltd DO NOT add any kind of chemicals or fillers to make the extract look more attractive...Therefore, the color and solubility of the extract may vary a little bit from order to order...Without being inferior in quality in any way! We can always provide COA (Certificate of Analysis) on the first request.

In general, our extract dissolves instantly when put into water and stirred, therefore it is very easy to use. In hot water it dissolves faster than in cold water.

Our chaga extract can be used by individuals as a health drink or by pharma industries as a raw material for production of liquid chaga extract, food additives and other relevant products. Also, chaga extract can be used in cosmetology for production of skin care products. In food industry chaga extract can be an addition to coffee or tea recepie making these drinks healthy.
