Chaga Mushroom 8000mg 90 Capsules Vegan Supplement

An Important Correction on This Product’s Own Safety Information

This product provides an 8000mg equivalent dose of chaga (Inonotus obliquus) through a 20:1 concentrated extract. As covered in more detail in our complete chaga guide, it’s important to correct this product’s own safety section: it attributes “liver toxicity” to chaga’s oxalate content — but oxalates specifically affect kidney health, not the liver, and this is a genuine mechanistic error worth knowing before relying on it. There are documented cases of kidney problems (oxalate nephropathy) associated with excessive chaga consumption, particularly concentrated or prolonged use — this is chaga’s real, established safety consideration, distinct from any liver-specific concern, which isn’t established in the research literature for this particular mushroom.

Given this correction: if you have a history of kidney stones or kidney disease, speak to your GP before regular use, and avoid excessive or prolonged high-dose use regardless of kidney history, given the genuine oxalate content.

Chaga contains beta-glucans studied for immune-modulating properties and melanin-related antioxidant compounds including superoxide dismutase — genuine areas of research interest, though it’s worth reading “immune system support” as a research area rather than a guarantee against infections. Claims about hormonal balance and skin health specifically for women rest on a considerably thinner evidence base than chaga’s core antioxidant and immune research, and are worth reading as preliminary.

On sourcing specifically: wild chaga takes 15-20 years to mature, raising genuine overharvesting concerns for natural birch forest populations — worth checking whether “sustainably sourced” for this product means wild-harvested from managed forests or cultivated, since both are more responsible than unclear wild-harvested sourcing.

Chaga has genuine blood-thinning properties, so anyone with a bleeding disorder or scheduled for surgery should consult their GP before use, and it may affect blood sugar, worth monitoring if you’re diabetic. Ingredients: chaga mushroom 20:1 extract, plant-based capsule shell (HPMC), brown rice flour, anti-caking agents (silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate). Vegan, tested for purity and potency. Take two capsules daily with food; 90 capsules provide a 45-day supply. Speak to your GP before use if you have kidney or liver conditions, a bleeding disorder, diabetes, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
