Abstract
Boosting the immune system is cited by consumers as the second-most important reason for taking supplements, highlighting a clear and growing demand for effective support solutions.1 To meet this need, Seppic launches CHAGADVANCE™, a mushroom-based nutraceutical active ingredient.
CHAGADVANCE™ is a natural, premium and standardized organic chaga (Inonotus obliquus) extract. These mushrooms are harvested in the forests of Finnish Lapland with responsible hand-picking methods allowing for natural regrowth without harming the host tree. Obtained through a simple water extraction process, CHAGADVANCE™ closely mirrors traditional preparation methods, preserving the integrity of its natural compounds for enhanced purity.
“CHAGADVANCE™ is a bridge between nature’s heritage and Seppic’s scientific innovation,” states Alice Barbier, active ingredients product manager for the nutrition activity. “We are proud to introduce this new active ingredient meeting the growing consumers’ demand for natural and effective immune support solutions. It completes our current nutricosmetics portfolio, offering solutions for both beauty and wellness markets. ”
The historical use of chaga for health is substantiated by extensive bibliography, demonstrating its potential for reinforcing the immune system and overall wellness2. CHAGADVANCE™ draws from ancient practices and nature’s powerful remedies where chaga has been revered for its immunostimulatory properties. CHAGADVANCE™ naturally abounds in beta-glucans and polyphenols, recognized for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and their beneficial effect on the immune system. Chaga offers thus multifaceted immune support:
- Boosts immediate defense and long-term immunity
- Reduces inflammation
- Protect the body against oxidative stress and viral infections
CHAGADVANCE™ is organic certified, available in powder form and is recommended at a low dose, facilitating its incorporation into various galenic formats and product concepts.
