When should you take Chaga+ to support your immune system?
Superdiet Chaga+ Vitamin C and Selenium is a dietary supplement made from chaga extract (Inonotus obliquus), a mushroom that grows on the bark of birch trees in cold regions and has long been used in Northern European traditions. The extract, derived from the fruiting body, is concentrated at a 15:1 ratio and standardized to 30% beta-glucans: three capsules provide 800 mg of extract—equivalent to 12,000 mg of raw chaga—combined with vitamin C and selenium. It is classified as an antioxidant supplement for adults.
Vitamin C and selenium support the normal functioning of the immune system. This is the most common use for this supplement, as winter approaches or during seasonal changes.
They help protect cells against oxidative stress, to which the body is exposed on a daily basis.
The dosage can be adjusted from 1 to 3 capsules per day, taken with a large glass of water, which makes the bottle last 20 to 60 days. Even with just one capsule, the vitamin C and selenium content exceeds 15% of the reference nutritional values.
During the winter months, nasal care complements your overall lifestyle. For this, we recommend the Physiomer Hypertonic Stuffy Nose Spray, made with seawater, which contains neither vitamin C nor selenium and therefore does not provide any of the nutrients found in this formula.

- Chaga is naturally rich in oxalates: if you have a history of kidney stones or kidney failure, consult your doctor before starting this treatment.
- If you are taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or antidiabetic medications, consult your doctor or pharmacist: data on the use of chaga in combination with these treatments is limited.
- Vitamin C and selenium: Be mindful of other supplements you are taking at the same time (multivitamins, selenium, vitamin C) to avoid excessive intake.
- Contains selenium-enriched yeast: avoid if you have a known yeast allergy.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Our Experts’ Advice on Chaga+ Superdiet
The flexible dosage allows you to tailor the regimen: one capsule per day for maintenance over two months, or three capsules per day for a shorter period. The beta-glucan content, listed on the bottle, is what distinguishes a standardized extract from a simple mushroom powder.
One thing to check before starting is kidney health: Chaga contains oxalates, so anyone who has previously had kidney stones should consult their doctor first. Recurrent infections or persistent fatigue require a medical consultation, not a dietary supplement.
