Chaga test results

What this batch measured, what it was measured against, and the laboratory's own certificate.

  • Current batch: 894582
  • Released:
  • Tested by: Fungal Development Europe QC laboratory

Active compounds

  • β-glucans 27.4 % w/w (≥ 25 % w/w)

  • Polyphenols, total 0.94 % w/w (≥ 0.7 % w/w)

A supplement is easy to claim and hard to check. So we publish the figures rather than describing them: the result for the batch in your hand, the limit it was measured against, and the name of whoever set that limit.

Every batch is tested before it is released. Nothing ships on the strength of a previous result.

What the current batch measured

Each row carries its own maximum and the source of that maximum. Some are set by EU law, some are our own specification, and where no maximum exists we say so rather than borrowing one from another food category.

Composition on the certificate: Inonotus obliquus (Chaga), sclerotium. Hydro-ethanolic Kanzen extract, 8:1, 420 mg per capsule. L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Capsule: pine cellulose.

Active compounds, process and microbiology are measured on the extract, before vitamins or herbs are added and before encapsulation. Fill weight, capsule and count are measured on finished capsules.

Specification minimums for the active compounds are the values declared on the pack and must hold until the best-before date. The other limits are Fungal Development Europe's internal specification.

Heavy metals, microbiology (yeasts and moulds, E. coli, Salmonella) and pesticides are tested periodically by Eurofins Food Testing Netherlands in separate reports. Those results are not part of this certificate.

Earlier batches

We leave previous results up. One certificate is a claim, a run of them is a record.

This is the first batch published for this product. Earlier batches appear here as they are released, and we do not take them down.

Checked by an independent laboratory

Every batch is tested in our own laboratory. Separately, samples go to Eurofins, a laboratory with no connection to us, so that our own results are checked by someone who does not work for us.

Why Human Pro?

Wild: Chaga cannot be farmed. We buy it whole and raw from Fennoscandia, the far north of Finland and Sweden, not as ready-made powder from China.

Kanzen extraction: on our own farm in the Netherlands, water and alcohol, six weeks, never above 38°C.

Tested: every batch is tested on our farm, and Eurofins verified the latest analysis.

Simple: three capsules with a meal. No powders, no shakes.

Ingredients & Allergens

Ingredients
Per serving (3 capsules): 1,260 mg Chaga extract.

Allergens
Vegan and gluten-free. No fillers, additives or preservatives. Full ingredient list on the product page.

Why sclerotium and not fruiting body?

Chaga grows differently from other mushrooms. What is harvested is the sclerotium: the hard, black conk that forms on living birch trees in the far north over many years. Chaga's true fruiting body only appears briefly after the tree has died and is almost never collected. So for Chaga, the sclerotium is the part that is harvested, studied and used, and it is what we extract.

Directions

How much: 3 capsules a day, which is 1,260 mg of Chaga extract, with a glass of water. One pack holds 90 capsules and lasts 30 days.

When: ideally with a meal, at about the same time each day. Most people take all three with breakfast, next to their coffee or tea.

How long: take it every day for a full pack before you judge it. That is what the 30-day money-back guarantee is for: if it is not for you, you get your money back.

Storage: keep the pack closed in a cool, dry and dark place at room temperature (15 to 25 °C).

Good to know: do not take more than 3 capsules a day. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, take medication or have a medical condition, check with a healthcare professional first. Keep out of reach of young children.

Can I still drink coffee?

Yes. Chaga has no caffeine. You can take it with breakfast, next to your first coffee of the day.

Reading the numbers

Why is the arsenic maximum your own, and not the law's?

Because EU law does not set one. Regulation (EU) 2023/915 sets maximum levels for lead, cadmium and mercury in food supplements, and none for total arsenic. Maximum levels for arsenic do appear in that regulation, but for other food categories. Quoting one of those here would mean attributing a limit to a law that does not set it. So the maximum in that row is ours, and the column says so. Where a row carries no maximum at all, neither the law nor our own specification sets one, and we would rather leave it blank than borrow a number.

What does BLQ mean?

Below the limit of quantification: present at a level too low for the instrument to put a number on, if present at all. It is a stronger result than a small number, not a missing one.

Who sets the limits in the table?

The column says so on every row. Heavy metals are set by EU law. Microbiological limits and a few others are our own specification, because no EU maximum exists for them in a dried extract. We would rather name our own number than leave the column blank.

Why do you test in your own laboratory at all?

Because testing every batch externally would mean testing less often, and frequency is what catches a problem. Our own laboratory tests each batch before release; an independent laboratory checks our work periodically. Both sets of figures are on this page and the certificates say which is which.

How often is this page updated?

When a batch is released. The batch code printed on your jar or pouch is the one to look for. If it is not here yet, the results are still being added.

The figure is on the certificate, not just in the copy

Publishing a result you have not read is the same as not testing at all. Every number above comes off the laboratory's own report, and the report is on the page beside it.
