There have been no randomized human clinical studies to evaluate chaga's safety, but there is strong historical evidence of its use in traditional remedies. Therefore, you should consult a health practitioner before taking Chaga if you have certain health conditions.
- Bleeding disorders: The polysaccharides and other substances found in Chaga are known to affect blood circulation. For this reason, individuals with bleeding disorders or those on anticoagulants (blood-thinning medications) should exercise caution when considering chaga extract supplements.
- Diabetes: Chaga may also affect blood glucose levels, so monitor your blood sugar levels while using it.
- Gout or Kidney stones: Due to the high oxalate content in Chaga, those who suffer from gout or kidney stones should consult with their doctor before using it.
If you suffer from any of these conditions it’s advisable to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting to supplement your diet with Chaga. This applies to any medicinal mushroom or natural health product, including Chaga.
