DIRTEA Immunity Powder

Chaga is thought to help support the immune system and improve overall health. Additionally, it is often found growing on birch trees in the colder regions, such as Siberia and Canada, and it's known for its unique appearance, which is a black, burnt-looking exterior.

Chaga has quite an earthy taste, similar to coffee but not as strong.

Chaga mushroom is often referred to as the "king of mushrooms" due to its potential health benefits, particularly for immune support.

Chaga mushrooms contain various bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides and beta-glucans, which are believed to have immune-stimulating effects. Chaga contains kojic acid and betulinic acid, compounds that are often used to nourish and hydrate the skin, as well as reduce the appearance of wrinkles. (1) This fungus contains a plethora of antioxidants. For instance, one cup of Chaga has the equivalent of 600 blueberries in terms of antioxidants, which may help support the immune system. (2)

Chaga, unlike coffee, doesn’t give you caffeine crashes or jitters. It may provide a slow release of energy. One rodent study performed on 64 mice showed that the mice that were given Chaga mushrooms had longer physical endurance and were fatigued less often than those that were not administered Chaga mushrooms (3).

Chaga has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Siberia, Russia, and other parts of Asia. Chaga has been used for centuries in Siberian and Russian folk medicine. It is believed that the indigenous people of Siberia were among the first to discover and use Chaga for its potential health benefits. The traditional use of Chaga was primarily for immune support, overall well-being, and to help alleviate various health conditions. Chaga was used in Finland during the Second World War as a substitute for coffee as it is native to Finnish people and has a similar earthy taste!

Functional mushrooms are types of fungi that are known for their health benefits beyond their nutritional compositions. The exact benefits differ depending on the mushroom. We offer 5 different functional mushrooms in Pure Powder form - Lion's Mane, Chaga, Cordyceps, Tremella and Reishi.

We also pride ourselves on our meticulous quality by using a dual extraction process and vigorous 3rd party testing that results in the purest mushroom powders. Unlike some of our competitors, we insist on using 100% of the fruiting body and do not use any mycelial biomass (oats, rice or grains) as filler.

No, we’ve tested several iterations to achieve the exact same taste as our original recipe, with the added benefit of vitamins. 

We’ve chosen complimentary Vitamins for each mushroom so that we can maximise the benefits each one brings to our bodies.

Our products are complementary when taken together, and we love combining different DIRTEA products for their individual benefits. 

There is plenty of evidence to support the benefits that functional mushrooms can offer children, but it’s worth noting there is no definitive research on the topic. Meanwhile, there is also no indication that they pose any danger to children.

We recommend it not be given to children under 10 years of age. At this early stage, children’s bodily systems are still developing and adapting to their environment.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s always a good idea to consult your child’s paediatrician before introducing any supplements into their diet particularly if they’re on medication. 

No, our Pure Powders are free from allergens. 

Please consult your doctor if you have a medical condition or are taking any medication.
