"Ancient forest medicine — support immunity, digestion, and skin health from the inside out."
Our Birch Polypore tincture is produced from 100% wild-harvested fruiting bodies of Fomitopsis betulina (formerly Piptoporus betulinus), ethically sourced from silver birch trees across the pristine woodlands of the UK and Northern Europe.
We use a meticulous dual-extraction process — first a hot water extraction to capture the immune-modulating beta-glucans and polysaccharides, followed by an alcohol extraction to draw out the betulinic acid, triterpenes, and polyporenic acids that make Birch Polypore uniquely valuable for immune support, digestive wellness, and skin health.
Birch Polypore has been used for thousands of years in traditional European medicine — famously found in the kit of Ötzi the Iceman, dating back over 5,000 years. Modern research has confirmed what our ancestors knew: this gentle yet powerful mushroom supports healthy immune function, soothes digestive discomfort, and promotes skin resilience from within.
The result is a deeply concentrated, bioavailable tincture that works gently with your body to support immunity, gut comfort, and long-term cellular health.
