What is chaga mushroom powder?
First things first, chaga mushrooms are a type of fungus that contain a variety of bioactive compounds with significant antioxidant and immune-supporting properties.** In the case of ourMatcha Latte Collagen Vibes™supplement, they are included as ingredient in powdered form.
Does chaga mushroom powder give you energy?
While the chaga mushroom powder itself doesn't provide energy, you'll still find 50mg of caffeine per serving in ourMatcha Latte Collagen Vibes™supplementthanks to the addition of matcha powder (more on matcha here!). For reference, this is equivalent to approximately half a cup of coffee, making it perfect for whenever you need a pick-me-up!
Does boiling chaga mushroom powder ruin it?
Of course, when it comes to whipping up a comforting beverage, it's important to consider whether boiling water will affect the integrity of the drink. The answer to this largelydepends on thetype of chaga mushroom powder you’re using. Typical guidance is that chaga extract and chaga tea can be brewed using boiling water, while raw chaga should not.
That said, looking to chaga mushroom powder specifically in ourMatcha Latte Collagen Vibes™supplement, our recommendation is to combine 2 scoops with 8 fl oz of hot water — or your favorite hot, non-dairy milk — and mix it thoroughly for your best sipping experience.
