Teelixir Veggie Root Immunity Soup with Astragalus and Chaga Mushroom

The Benefits of Astragalus Root Dual-Extract Powder


Teelixir Astragalus Root Extract Powder

Astragalus root is considered one of the most important herbal tonics in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years and is highly valued for its ability to strengthen the primary energy of the body, the immune system, and all metabolic, respiratory, and eliminative functions.

Astragalus is an important “Chi tonifying” and adaptogenic herb that is famed for its powerful energising and strengthening effects. It has traditionally been called "The Great Protector" for its ability to function as an immune stimulator that supports and enhances the body’s defence system.

Astragalus increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. Astragalus can help stimulate the production of T-cells, NK cells, macrophages, immunoglobulin and other important functions the body uses to effectively ward off viruses and bacteria.

Astragalus has the important effect of increasing “upright Chi” in the body which helps maintain good posture and prevents the prolapse of organs due to illness, chronic fatigue, and extreme exhaustion. This rejuvenating quality is essential to a long healthy life.

Astragalus contains unique polysaccharides and saponin fractions that have shown strong liver protective qualities. The flavonoid and saponin content in Astragalus provides strong antioxidant activity, and is many times more potent than vitamin E. Astragalus is an effective blood tonic, can help reduce inflammation, and effectively balance the overall systems of the body.




The Benefits of Wild Chaga Mushroom Dual-Extract Powder


Teelixir Chaga Mushroom Dual-Extract Powder
Chaga mushroom (Inonotus Obliquus) might be one of the most important anti-aging foods ever.

Its broad range of remarkable health benefits makes Chaga one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. Hailed as “King of the Medicinal Mushrooms”

Chaga is a disease-fighting powerhouse that has been shown through considerable scientific research to have powerful immune enhancing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. Its rich nutrients increase power, energy, stamina, and stimulate healing processes within the body.

This “complex living pharmacy” is a good source of vitamins and minerals making it the most alkaline food on Earth. Chaga is a top source of antioxidant enzymes, digestive enzymes, sterols, flavonoids, and the polysaccharides- beta-glucans which give Chaga its potent immune-supporting properties. It may protect the body from oxidation, infection, and toxins; ensures cells and tissues are strong; repairs DNA, and heals degeneration.

Chaga also contains the highest amount of melanin and helps the body produce more superoxide dismutase (SOD) than any plant known. Few foods on this earth, if any, have the incredible nutritional profile and the broad spectrum of health benefits that Chaga offers.

In Chinese medicine it is referred to as the “gift of God” and the only known side effect of wild Chaga is excellent health. Chaga is the superfood of superfoods.


Teelixir Chaga is wildcrafted from the pristine high mountain ranges of China, far from any industrial pollution. Our wild Chaga undergoes a process of dual-extraction using water and organic ethanol. Organic ethanol is used to extract the adaptogenic terpenes while the hot water extracts the immune-modulating beta-glucans. This is to ensure that we extract both water-soluble and oil-soluble constituents from the Chaga mushroom and increase the bio-availability.
