SayanTM Health was founded by three people with a dedication to the principle that promoting healthy living is the best medicine.
DAVID is a medical doctor who first learned about the health-giving benefits of Siberian Chaga, during a trip to Siberia in 2007. He was impressed with what he heard and saw, but David's scientific background made him eager for proof. He delved into the research – over 1400 clinical and scientific publications over the past 40 years – and became convinced.
David has always believed that preventative health care is ultimately more effective and valuable than treating diseases after the damage has been done. He saw Siberian Chaga as a way for many people to protect and enhance their health. Gradually, David began to focus his attention full time on promoting and maintaining good health by bringing the benefits of Siberian Chaga to the West.
David understood that founding a business is a sizeable undertaking, and recruited help from those closest to him. His partners, LENA and TROY, are both advocates of a healthy lifestyle. Both PhD's in Industrial Organizational Psychology, Lena and Troy have the scientific training to separate fads from facts. Although they were aware of the power of antioxidants and diligently included them in their diets, they were initially skeptical when David explained the potential benefits of Siberian Chaga. Gradually, as they read the research and tried it for themselves, Lena and Troy became equally convinced.
Joining together to form Sayan Health, the three embarked on a hard year of product development. In Siberia, Chaga is traditionally taken in the form of a hot brewed beverage much like tea, but David, Lena and Troy believed that the American public would prefer a refreshing chilled beverage, ready-from-the-bottle. They wanted to offer an alternative to unhealthy soft drinks and caffeine-loaded "energy" drinks, avoiding refined sugar, corn syrup, or artificial sweeteners.
They developed a drink that blends Chaga's native flavor with a selection of natural ingredients, harvested from the pristine forests of Siberia, and offering additional healthy benefits. They selected herbs and berries long established in herbal healing that provide a subtle spectrum of flavors. They added a pinch of evaporated cane juice, a natural sweetener, limiting sugar-content to less than ½ ounce per bottle and imparting a delicate sweetness that weaves through the multi-layered taste of the drink. For variety, they selected two of the most popular fruit flavors, natural extracts of peach and raspberry, to complement the original blend.
The result of their work is Sayan™ Chaga, a refreshing and healthy beverage designed for American tastes and the fast-paced U.S. lifestyle. It is their intention that Sayan™ Chaga will be the first in series of offerings that promote a healthy living, improved immunity and disease resistance, and greater longevity. David, Lena and Troy believe that life is worth living well and long.
