What is Chaga?
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), also known as the birch polypore, is a mushroom that primarily grows on birch trees in cold climates, such as Siberia, Northern Europe, and Canada. This mushroom has been used for centuries in traditional medicine across various cultures for its purported health benefits. Although this supplement has a long and respected history in traditional medicine, this does not automatically mean that the health benefits are recognized according to EU regulations.
Discover the Benefits of Chaga from AvantVital
In accordance with European regulations regarding health claims, we are limited in directly communicating the specific uses of this supplement.
AvantVital is not allowed to make statements about nutrients without an approved health claim by the European Commission. These claims are approved based on scientific evidence evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Health claims are statements about the relationship between nutrition and health.
Health claims are approved if the evidence meets strict requirements. For herbs, this is difficult because much of the evidence is traditional and does not meet modern scientific standards. Therefore, the European Commission has not yet established definitive assessment criteria for herbal claims.
