Medical preparations and
functional food preparations, compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions based on Chaga, as well as methods for their manufacture. When administered to humans or animals, the preparations, compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful for treating diseases such as
cancer.
Functional food preparations include a
reduced product of Chaga formed in a reducing
solvent and an extract of Chaga formed in an extracting
solvent. The
reduced product and the extract are mixed or combined according to methods known to those skilled in the art to form
functional food preparations. The medical formulations are reaction products produced by preparing a reduced Chaga product in a pressurized reducing
solvent, preparing a Chaga extract in an extraction solvent, mixing or combining the reduced Chaga product with the Chaga extract, mixing or combining the Chaga formulation with an esterification mixture containing
proline,
fructose, and fatty acids for generating esterification compounds and a source of
sugar esters that can be emulsified in otherwise immiscible liquid compounds, or with a predetermined amount of
Manuka honey sufficient to bring about esterification and promote emulsification, at a temperature that can induce a reaction between the components of Chaga and the esterification mixture or
Manuka honey, and combining the heterogeneous mixture with medium-chain
triglyceride oil.
