Chaga grows on 1/10,000 birch trees in the colder northern hemisphere climates and grows on average ½ an inch per year. To maintain a renewable source of Chaga it can only be harvested during specific times of its yearly cycle. If harvested correctly Chaga will continue to regenerate.

Melanin has high antioxidant levels due to the amount of polyphenols it contains. These high antioxidant levels help with a few different things, one being cleansing the liver.
