“Birch: The Giving Tree”
Betula Botanicals has accepted the responsibility of bringing the power of the birch tree to the forefront of the health community.
From the time we have spent in the dietary supplement space, we have realized that the chaga mushroom is a house hold name. While Chaga is phenomenal in its own right, many of its properties come from the natural compounds it extracts from the birch bark it lives on; Betulin and Betulinic Acid being the most notable.
“One will never again look at a birch tree, after the Robert Frost poem, in exactly the same way.”
— Paul Muldoon
Through years of research and development at the University of Minnesota, it has been identified that Betulin, Betulinic Acid, and other powerful triterpenes can be extracted from the outer bark of the birch tree. This natural extract can contain more than 70% Betulin, 5% Betulinic Acid, and 5% Lupeol by weight.
This is big news for the regular users of chaga, because now those active ingredients can be provided in higher concentration and in capsule form!
Harness the power of Birch Through Chaga and Birch Bark Extracts
Who Can Benefit from Birch Bark Extract?
The triterpene ingredients in birch bark extract can support your body’s natural functions.
By now you have probably heard of the “Mediterranean Diet”. One major aspect of the Ancient civilization’s diet was consuming fish and vegetables cooked in large amounts of olive oil. The health importance of the olive oil and the Mediterranean Diet is that it is high in triterpenes.
Just like the olive oil, extracts from birch bark have a very high triterpene content. Our natural birch bark extract dietary supplements are based around the idea of a “Mediterranean Diet in a Bottle.” If you have considered the Mediterranean Diet for the potential benefits, adding birch bark extract supplements to your daily routine can add triterpenes to your diet!
