This is a question we get a lot! There is no tea or juice in any of our drinks. The tea-like, earthy color of our Sayan™ Chaga drinks is actually the natural color of chaga mushroom and our blend of herbs and berries. There are absolutely no artificial ingredients or colors added to any of our products.
Chaga grown in Siberia is much richer in antioxidants than chaga grown in any other region. Perhaps it is the combination of the purity of the Siberian wilderness and extreme cold temperatures that makes Siberian chaga such a powerful antioxidant. There is also research suggesting that it is not simply the cold, but the extreme swings in temperature in the Siberian taiga that produce the strong antioxidant potency that chaga is famous for.
Yes. Chaga is a natural food supplement and classified as a food additive by the FDA. It has also been classified as a medicinal mushroom under the World Trade Organization (WTO) codes.
To date, there are no known interactions or adverse side effects when taking chaga at the recommended dosage. Although no allergic reactions have been documented thus far, please consult your doctor prior to enjoying our drink if you are have a hypersensitivity to mushrooms.
For use with those with any serious health concerns, please consult a qualified medical practitioner, licensed herbalist or nutritionist. No adverse reactions to chaga have been recorded thus far, but we recommend exercising caution whenever introducing new foods to your diet.
Siberian chaga is not a medicine as defined by the FDA; it is classified as a food additive. Siberian chaga is popularly used in other countries as an anti-cancer remedy. There are numerous research studies concerning chaga and cancer, some of which have yielded evidence that chaga can slow the growth of cancerous tumors. However, none of the studies have been done using Sayan™ Chaga beverage. Sayan Health makes no medical claims about the Sayan™ Chaga beverage. We strongly encourage you to do your own research regarding Chaga.
Several of our key ingredients have been used in traditional herbal medicine. While Siberian chaga has a long list of uses, Meadowsweet has also been used to treat high stomach acidity and indigestion, and the root has been chewed as a headache remedy. A chemical compound derived from the plant is the basis for the invention of aspirin. European Cranberry is high in antioxidants, and cranberries have been traditionally used to treat urinary tract infections. Finally, Eleutherococcus (formally known as Siberian Ginseng) was heavily investigated by Soviet nutritional scientists, who believed it increased endurance, improved memory, had anti-inflammatory action, improved the immune system, and protected against certain adverse effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
Sayan is the name of the mountain region in Siberia where Sayan Health harvests chaga and other herbs and berries included in our beverage. The beauty, serenity and purity of the place inspired us to name the company and the beverage after it!
No - none of our drinks contain caffeine or any other types of stimulants of any kind.
Yes! There are no animal or wheat products in our beverages.
Both Chaga and Kombucha share a Siberian origin, however, their health benefits are rather different. Kombucha is a probiotic that is consumed in raw, slightly fermented form. Chaga is a strong adaptogen and a potent antioxidant that retains its health properties after being brewed into a tea or a beverage.
All of our beverages are manufactured in Southern California, where we receive our wild-harvested Chaga along with an exclusive blend of herbs and berries directly from the Siberian taiga.
