  • Ingredients: Fomitopsis betulina fruiting bodies, spring water, organic grain alcohol

What’s it good for?

White Birch Polypore, or the compounds extracted from it, has been through a few human clinical trials. These studies have shown Birch Polypore might have properties that are:

  • anti-microbial and antibiotic

  • anti-viral

  • anti-fungal (yes, despite being a fungus itself - it doesn’t share it’s habitat with other fungi) (Jasicka-Misiack et al, 2014)

  • Antiseptic

  • Styptic

  • Tumour and inflammatory disease reducing (Saleem, 2009)

  • Anti-carcinogenic (Jiao et al, 2022)

Always consult your doctor/physician if you are expecting a child or breastfeeding a baby. If you are undergoing allopathic (medical) treatment for cancer, you might want to discuss your use of supplements to ensure that no contraindications are likely.

What is it?

Birch Polypore grows very commonly here in Bannau Brycheiniog, Wales. As the name implies, it grows on Silver Birch trees and favours dead or decaying wood. Tree surgeons know it well, because where it grows from a standing tree, it’s presence indicates the tree is decaying from the inside and may be dangerous to climb above. The specimens used in the creation of this tincture are found within a mile of the lab, at around 300 metres altitude. I safely and sustainably harvest the best fruits, ensuring that plenty is left on the decaying wood to host all the invertebrates and other creatures that co-exist with it.

Birch Polypore has been used by humankind for a very long time indeed. We know this, partly because Oetzi the Iceman, discovered as he appeared from an Alpine glacier since he was frozen there 5,300 years ago., carried this remarkable mushroom on a necklace. He clearly understood that it had medicinal properties, and evidence showed he has parasitic stomach worms (which might be treated by the anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties of the Birch Polypore).

Oetzi may also have used the fungus for it’s styptic (wound sealing and bloodflow-stopping) properties, and almost certainly he used it to transport embers and help make fire - after all, it is also known as the Tinder Fungus.

The mushroom fruits contain some of the same medicinal compounds as Chaga - indeed it is sometimes known as White Chaga - especially the triterpenes. The concentration of lupeol - under investigation as a cancer and inflammatory disease adjunct treatment - is far greater than in Chaga, whilst the amount of betulin is lower in Birch Polypore than in Chaga.

How is our tincture made?

The tincture process for my Birch Polypore is a little different from some others, as follows:

  • dehydrate the fresh fruiting bodies at low temperature for 48 hours until crisp.

  • Add to spring water and simmer at just under boiling point for at least 6 hours.

  • Macerate the soaked fruits until pureed, then heat for a further 2 hours. Extract the water-soluble compounds

  • the material is then extracted in warm-water ultrasound baths

  • Dehydrate the material once again, before adding to organic grain alcohol for up to 6 weeks

  • The water and alcohol extractions are then combined to provide a 1:4 ratio of the fruiting bodies to liquid,m with 20% alcohol content for shelf-life.

  • The final part of the process uses ultrasonic mixing to homogenise the tincture, which ensures every drop has the same potency as the last.

  • It’s then bottled, labelled and sent on it’s journey to your good self.

Taking the tincture

The bottle has a dropper with marks indicated on it. A full dropper per day is a recommended adult dose.

I tend to take mine in the morning to be sure it is part of my routine. The tincture is concentrated mushrooms and not everyone likes the taste. Personally, I tend to add mine to my coffee or juice, again, as a part of my morning routine. You will notice some alcohol taste, which is the 20% organic grain ethanol I use to extract and preserve the shelf-life of my tinctures.

Your 50ml bottle should last between a month and six weeks. I have suggested a month’s break after the first 3 months: this is simply a precaution to help be sure that your body reacts well to the product, but it is not necessary if you are feeling benefits.

Thank you for buying my products. It means the world to me.

I simply collect or grow it, turn it into a tincture, package it and deliver it to you. No funny business. 100% grown, extracted and packaged in Bannau Brecheiniog, Wales, United Kingdom.

To save resources, please keep your dropper pipette for future purchases. Returning customers can select an aluminium lid closure for a 25p reduced price per bottle.
