Celebrate the Health Benefits of Chaga Mushrooms

8. Support Cognitive Function and Memory

Chaga mushrooms have the potential to support cognitive function and memory by restoring levels of acetylcholine reduced by oxidative stress. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter associated with learning and memory functions in the brain. Researchers in Japan determined chaga mushroom extract helps improve memory function in people with scopolamine-induced amnesia. There’s also evidence that chaga tea can promote alertness—without the unwanted effects of caffeine-like increased nervousness.
