TEELIXIR CHAGA - FULL TEST & REVIEW BY HEAD PRODUCT TESTER AMBER BENNETT 

What I Love:  

The almost immediate benefits I notice! 

Sometimes when taking a new supplement, you can’t always feel the benefits right away. Chaga is different for me! From the day I began taking it, I noticed improved energy and brain function. 

*My results may not be your results, doesn’t mean Chaga is not working its magic for you too though! 

It's 100% certified organic AND wood grown. 

Teelixir sources their mushrooms from deep in the mountains in China. This means they are away from any cities and industrial pollution {we don’t have to worry about toxins when consuming}. The mushrooms are also wood grown with no added grains, fillers, preservatives, starch or mycelium.  

The company 

I love Teelixir as a company! They are 100% committed to bringing clean, organic mushroom supplements to the market and it shows in the quality of the product. 

What Would Make Me Love It Even More:  

Miron glass jars! The only thing I would love to see is the use of a Miron glass jar with a screw-top lid. The reason is that the current packaging with pop on/off tin lid can make it hard to close so the product stays airtight. 

• I noticed immediate benefits from taking Chaga 
• 100% certified organic and wood-grown mushrooms 
• Love the taste, texture and ability to easily incorporate the product into my daily life 
• Authentic Di Tao Source 
• Third-Party Tested and Quality Verified 
• Guaranteed Potency: >8% Beta-D-Glucans <2% Starch 
• No Added Grains, Starch, Mycelium or Fillers 

• Would like to see air-tight packaging

HEALTH BENEFITS:  

In my opinion, Organic Chaga Mushroom is one of, if not the most important adaptogens out there.  

It has a broad range of remarkable health benefits and is one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. Some call it the King of Medicinal Mushrooms.  

In Traditional Chinese Medicine Chaga mushroom is referred to as ‘gift of god’.  It is an absolute powerhouse of vitamins and minerals including: 

• Calcium 
• Iron 
• Zinc 
• Copper 
• B-complex vitamins 
• Manganese 
• Potassium 
• Amino Acids 
• Fibre 
• Selenium 
• Magnesium 

There are very few food products on earth that share the same broad spectrum of health benefits as Chaga contains. Listed below are just some of the health benefits Chaga provides to us. 

• Powerful support for immune system function 
• Skin nourishing/anti-aging • Neuro-protective 
• Gut supportive. 
• Antioxidant boosting 
• Energizing effects 
• Anti-inflammatory 
• Anti-tumour properties 
• Pain relieving properties 

*These benefits have been observed in both in vitro (in glass aka test tube or petri dish) and in vivo (in a living organism aka human or animal) studies.   

In research studies, Chaga has also displayed anti-allergic and cognition-enhancing activities along with anti-inflammatory effects against experimental colitis.  

In addition to those amazing benefits, Chaga extracts have exerted inhibitory effects against colon, lung and liver cancer cells. 

By re-establishing a strong, healthy and intelligent immune system that doesn’t underact or overreact you can quite dramatically enhance your body’s capacity to bring a number of infections and imbalances under control.  Healthy body healthy life! 

Medicinal mushrooms have a subtle, gentle way of providing our bodies with all the listed benefits. Most are adaptogens in nature which means they are doing things 'behind the scenes' in our body, we may not be able to feel strongly at first, but long term they can make a huge difference to most if not all aspects of our health.  

RECIPE IDEAS TO USE WITH CHAGA:

FAQ 

How Do I Take Chaga? 

Teelixir recommends starting with 1/4 - 1/2 tsp (1.6g) Chaga mushroom powder per day. If you are sensitive to herbs, you may want to start with less. When your body feels ready, you can increase your dosage according to your daily needs. I personally take at least 1 teaspoon of Chaga per day.  It is best to use Chaga powder in the AM and PM.  You can add it to your coffee, smoothie, chai, or milk of choice or get creative and add it to your meals when cooking or baking. 

Can I Take Chaga While Pregnant Or Breastfeeding? 

It is always best to check with your health practitioner before taking any new herbs or supplements, especially if pregnant or breastfeeding. 

How Long Will It Take Before I Notice A Difference In My Health? 

Everyone’s health journey is different. Some people will notice a difference within the first day or week, while others notice more subtle changes over time. The most important thing is to stay consistent and pair your supplements with a healthy lifestyle for the best results. 

I have noticed a difference immediately and this has been the experience of others I have spoken to. If you don’t feel any difference right away, stick with it! It’s working its wonders whether you feel it or not. 

CUSTOMER REVIEWS (AS FOUND ON THE TEELIXIR WEBSITE) 

“My husband and I both enjoy chaga in our cuppa every morning. After 3 weeks we feel it's improved our energy and mood.” 

“I really love the CHAGA. I have it daily with a spoon of honey as my morning " Coffee" and I feel it gives me energy and really boosts me. I can feel the benefits and my healing has improved so much since.” 

ALTERNATIVES I THINK ARE WORTH CONSIDERING 

If you're already using Chaga and want to widen your supplement range - or simply try something different, check these out below: 

1.) Teelixir's Mushroom Probiotics

This blend has more of a focus on gut health which plays a big role in helping our overall immune system function (among many other things). This potent formula works to balance your gut microbiome, support digestive function, reduce gas and bloating, increase energy levels, boost immunity, lower stress and anxiety, and elevate mood–all in an easy-to-consume daily powder.  

2.) Life Cykel's 'Biohacker Kit'

Not an 'all-in-one' blend but a 5 mushroom kit containing liquid extract bottles of Lions Mane, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Reishi & Shiitake. This is a great 'bang for your buck' pack and perfect for those who'd prefer a liquid extract as opposed to powdered.  

3.) SuperFeast Chaga

Another brand I absolutely love is SuperFeast.  Their Chaga is incredible.  SuperFeast Chaga grows on wild birch trees and is sustainably harvested from the Changbai Mountain region of China, a pristine area renowned for its superior mushrooms. SuperFeast also utilises Miron Glass Jars for their products which is a major plus in my books!
