HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chaga Powder by Om Mushroom Superfood

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Certified Organic Mushroom Powder Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: chaga powder, a certified organic mushroom extract. Chaga has been used traditionally in teas and foods for its potential health properties.

The product also includes myceliated oats as an inactive ingredient (a filler that aids texture and absorption).

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy aging and immune health.
  • We looked for evidence on: immune function, antioxidant support, inflammation.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that chaga is effective for cardiovascular health, diabetes, or COVID-19 — the ratings are insufficient reliable evidence to rate on all three. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the available research isn't solid enough for us to make a claim either way.

If you're thinking about taking this for a specific health goal, it's worth asking your doctor or pharmacist what the current research actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chaga

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chaga is generally well tolerated when used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited. The main reported concern is kidney damage: there have been two cases of kidney failure and one case of kidney inflammation linked to excessive chaga consumption.

Chaga is high in oxalate, a compound that can build up in the kidneys, so people with kidney problems or a history of kidney stones should be cautious. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information — the data advises against use until more is known.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chaga

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chaga.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 327 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate), immunosuppressants (Moderate), or antidiabetes medications (Moderate). No interactions are documented for the inactive ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chaga powder is generally well tolerated in small amounts, but if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or immunosuppressants, check your exact medications here first. Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and be cautious if you have kidney issues.

Does Chaga Powder by Om Mushroom Superfood interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chaga Powder has a known interaction with 327 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chaga Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data aren't there yet. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it and talk with your doctor about alternatives.
What is chaga, and what is it supposed to do?
Chaga is a mushroom used traditionally in teas and foods. People take it for cardiovascular health, diabetes, and immune support, but we don't have strong evidence that it works for these uses yet.
Are there any side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. The main concern is kidney damage — there have been rare cases of kidney problems linked to very high chaga use. Chaga is high in oxalate, a compound that can hurt your kidneys if you're already at risk.
Is this safe to take with my blood pressure or diabetes medication?
That depends on your exact drug. Animal research suggests chaga might affect how these work, but it hasn't been seen in people. Plug your medications into the checker on this page to be sure.
What's in the product besides chaga?
Myceliated oats — that's an inactive ingredient used as a filler to help with texture and how your body absorbs it.
