How It Works
How It Works
Chaga mushroom contains powerful compounds including beta-glucans, sterols, phenols, and melanin that support your immune system's natural function. The micronization process breaks down the tough cell walls, making these beneficial compounds more bioavailable to your body.
Who It's For
Adults looking to support their immune system naturally, especially during seasonal changes or periods of increased stress. Athletes and active individuals who want consistent immune support.
Who It's Not For
Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with autoimmune conditions without consulting a healthcare practitioner.
About This Product
Purica Chaga (VCaps) are vegetable capsules of organic chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), 400 mg in each, packed in glass bottles of 120 or 360. The product is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80040539. Source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.
About chaga
In the wild, chaga grows as a black, cracked mass on birch trunks across northern forests, and it has a long history as a tea in Russia and Scandinavia. Its dark colour comes from melanin pigments. Researchers also look at its phenolic compounds, betulinic acid and polysaccharides. Purica does not harvest wild conks: its chaga is cultivated in Canada on organic plant material.
What is in each capsule
Each capsule contains 400 mg of organic chaga that has been micronized, which means milled to particles of 1 to 10 microns so the woody, chitin-rich material is broken open without solvent extraction. The shell is hypromellose, a plant cellulose. The remaining non-medicinal ingredients are silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate from a plant source.
How to take it
The label dose for adults is 1 capsule 4 times a day, so 4 capsules daily. A 120 bottle covers 30 days at that dose and a 360 bottle covers 90 days. Do not use it while pregnant or breastfeeding. The cautions also list several medications and health conditions to discuss with a practitioner before you start, so read them in full in the directions tab.
Chaga next to other Purica mushrooms
Chaga is the antioxidant pick in the Purica range. Turkey Tail and the Cordyceps powder carry a polysaccharide recommended use instead, and Complete 360 puts 65 mg of chaga in each capsule alongside seven other mushrooms and ashwagandha. Choose this bottle if you want chaga alone at 400 mg per capsule.
Who it suits
Adults who used to brew chaga chunks and want a measured amount without the simmering, and anyone who would rather take a capsule than drink a bitter tea. The 360 count lowers the price per capsule.
How Purica makes it
Purica starts each culture from a sterile tissue sample of a selected strain and grows it indoors in Canada. Batches go to third-party testing for purity and potency before milling. The capsules ship in amber glass with a metal lid, a packaging choice Purica has kept for close to 30 years.
