In this blog, we'll dive into the fascinating science of melanin, connect it to the unique properties of Chaga, and explain why adding PJM Morning Blend with Chaga to your routine could be the best decision you can make today
The Remarkable Role of Melanin in Chaga Mushrooms:
When you think of melanin, skin colour and UV protection might come to mind—and that’s absolutely true. However, melanin’s role extends far beyond these familiar functions. It acts as a robust cellular shield, protecting our cells from radiation and oxidative damage.
This incredible compound has even been studied in fungi found in extreme environments, such as the Chernobyl nuclear site. Researchers have discovered that melanin plays a crucial role in helping these fungi survive—and even thrive—under high radiation levels, showcasing its unparalleled protective capabilities.
Chaga mushrooms are a natural treasure trove of melanin, their rich, dark hue a testament to their high melanin content. This abundance not only defines their appearance but also equips Chaga with remarkable protective and healing properties. By combating oxidative stress and supporting cellular resilience, Chaga mushrooms serve as a powerful ally in promoting overall health and vitality.
Why Chaga is Your Body's Best Friend

Antioxidant Power: One of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature, Chaga helps neutralise free radicals and combats oxidative stress, a major contributor to ageing and chronic disease.
Stress Reduction: Chaga's adaptogenic properties support your body's ability to handle physical and mental stress.
