Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and methods of use for the present disclosure, a chaga mushroom chew composition, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present disclosure.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a recipe of the chaga mushroom chew composition according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0012] The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a mushroom composition and more particularly to a chaga mushroom chew composition providing a healthy substitute for traditional tobacco chew.

[0014] Generally, the invention is a healthy alternative to a tobacco chew which is all-natural and good for a user. The tobacco alternative may be made of all-natural ingredients with the main ingredient being Chaga mushrooms which has a multitude of health benefits when consumed. Chaga mushrooms are full of a wide variety of vitamins, and antioxidants and can also help lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure. Chaga mushrooms have an abundance of Beta-D-Glucans which help balance the response of the body's immune system. As a result, chaga helps boosts the immune system when necessary, but slows it down when it's overactive. Further, Chaga mushrooms reduce inflammation.

[0015] Chaga mushroom chew composition is a tobacco alternative comprising a mixture of mushrooms from a mushroom-species and additives creating a smokeless tobacco-like composition. The mushroom-species is a chaga mushroom. The chaga mushroom chew composition provides a healthy substitute for chewing tobacco, the composition capable of being absorbed orally providing health benefits to a user. The tobacco alternative includes a mixture of all-natural ingredients and is chemical free. The chaga mushroom chew composition further comprises a flavor additive and a natural energy source additive.

[0016] The tobacco alternative is provided in a smokeless, loose leaf-like condition and is configured to be placed in a mouth of the user. The loose leaf material is used to provide a product that has the same look and feel as tobacco. Addiction to chewing tobacco is both a physiological addiction to nicotine, as well as a psychological addiction to the act of chewing the chewing tobacco. The invention satisfies this psychological addiction by providing a product that looks and feels and can be chewed and expectorated in the same way as chewing tobacco without the health risks of traditional tobacco. In certain embodiments, the tobacco alternative is provided in a pouch and is configured to be placed in a mouth of the user.

[0017] It is another object of the invention to make a chewing tobacco alternative that retains the healthy promoting compounds found in Chaga mushrooms. The tobacco alternative consists essentially of the Chaga mushroom. Chaga mushrooms are rich in a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, including: B-complex vitamins, manganese, magnesium, selenium, vitamin D, potassium, rubidium, cesium, zinc, amino acids, fiber, copper, iron, and calcium. The Chaga mushroom supports a user's immune system when the components are absorbed orally. The tobacco alternative is vitamin and antioxidant enriched and provides numerous additional benefits to a user when consumed. The mixture of mushrooms from the mushroom-species is solely the chaga mushroom. The chaga mushroom is selected to lower cholesterol and blood sugar. Further, the tobacco alternative comprising the chaga mushroom reduces inflammation.

[0018] The tobacco alternative includes a moisture content similar to chewing tobacco. Preferably, a moisturizer is added to the loose tobacco alternative to give it the same degree of moisture as chewing tobacco. The moisture content is maintained by a moisturizer, the moisturizer prevents substantial drying out of the chaga mushroom chew composition. Other common additives may be used in the mixture as well to enhance its flavor or smell or to act as a preservative. In a preferred various of the tobacco alternative, nicotine is not included.

[0019] Referring now to FIG. 1, a recipe and ingredients list is shown for chaga mushroom chew composition comprising: 1 cup of ground chaga mushroom; cup of apple cider vinegar; cup of finely chopped kale; 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper; 2 teaspoons crushed mint; 4 teaspoons mint extract or 6 drops of oil; 2 teaspoons agave syrup; cup of molasses; and cup of dried apple in a crushed condition.

[0020] The 1 cup of ground chaga mushroom, cup of apple cider vinegar, cup of finely chopped kale, 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons crushed mint, 4 teaspoons mint extract or 6 drops of oil, 2 teaspoons agave syrup, cup of molasses, and cup of dried apple in a crushed condition are combined as an admixture into a pot and stirred while bringing combined ingredients to a gentle boil for 10-15 minutes until desired texture is achieved.

[0021] The embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, variations and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve substantially equivalent results, all of which are intended to be embraced within the spirit and scope of the invention. Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application.
