FUEL BEFORE WORKOUT
Chaga gives you clean energy. It acts as a vasodilator to help increase the oxygenated blood flow to your starving muscles. Chaga helps to diffuse lactic acid and works to fight against CNS fatigue. Chaga helps give you the energy and endurance to win! The benefits of greater endurance, increased blood flow, reduced recovery time and hormonal balance are vital in any sporting activity.
Chaga Fueling, option #1
Take one 2oz shot of Chaga 10-15 minutes before a workout.
It is recommended that active people should take (2) 2oz shots of Chaga per day. If you work out in the morning, then that is the perfect time to have your first shot with a second one in the afternoon. However, if you are working out in the afternoon, be sure to start your day with Chaga, then have the 2nd shot before your later workout.
Matcha Chaga Power Fueling, option #2
The combination of Ceremonial Matcha green tea and Chaga is the union of nature’s greatest adaptogens. Their power fuels your workout, builds endurance and accelerates your healing process. The boost of alkaline caffeine in Matcha with its ability to transport that energy throughout the body over 3-4 hours, makes it the perfect complement to Chaga. The blending of Got Matcha’stm Black Label Ceremonial Matcha and Chagit’stm True Chaga Power Extraction is truly a synergy of wellness.

RECOVERY TIME – POST WORKOUT
MATCHA PROTEIN MEAL
This is the time that the body and muscles are healing, repairing and building. Good quality, absorbable, protein is a perfect choice. Got Matcha’stm Vegan Matcha Protein Meal has been designed to be one of the healthiest, bioavailable, nutrient-dense protein meals on the market. It is a true meal replacement that provides continued energy, satiety, omega fatty acids and supports healing and weight management. Any of the morning superstar shakes would be perfect to enjoy after a workout. The Sacha Inchi protein provides 15 grams of plant-based whole-food protein, containing all 8 essential amino acids.
CHAGA FOR RECOVERY
Chaga is the only food source known to contain Inotodiol, a natural ani-inflammatory steroid which has major benefits for injury and workout recovery. Inotodiol has been found to address inflammation directly at the central nervous system; thereby reducing your chances of inflammation ever appearing. This allows you to work out harder and longer and recover faster. Plus, the blast of antioxidants help minimize the burn from lactic acid to increase your endurance as well.
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT
The body is designed to handle a certain amount of stress. However, when the stress from daily life combined with an over acidic diet occurs, the immune system becomes taxed beyond what it can handle. The defenses go down and your body begins working over-time. It is during this window that we are far more susceptible to illness and disease. Chaga and Matcha help the body to balance internal stress, boost the immune system and they help give you the shield to protect yourself.
A SHOT OF CHAGA PER DAY KEEPS THE BODY PROTECTED…
Chaga contains 29 different beta-glucans which have been found to support the immune system. Also, the antioxidant levels in Chaga are off the charts - Chaga contains more antioxidants than any other food on the planet! Drinking Chaga daily is equivalent to wearing the strongest shield 24/7!
MATCHA’S POWERFUL CATECHINS
Matcha is an anti-microbial. It contains potent antibiotics and anti-virals, lending itself to the prevention and assisting with the treatment of many ailments including flu, cold, food poisoning and travel bugs. The catechins in Matcha are very powerful antioxidants and give a great deal of support to the immune system.
