HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chaga Tea Extract by BioAnue
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: chaga extract, a fungal compound traditionally used in teas. There are no other active or inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence on chaga for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and COVID-19 is insufficient — we don't have reliable data to say whether it works for these conditions. If you're thinking about using it for any of these purposes, talk it over with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports it for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chaga is generally used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited. There's one important safety note: excessive chaga consumption has been linked to kidney damage in a handful of cases, likely because chaga contains high concentrations of oxalate.
The safety information available advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough data to know it's safe in these situations, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin or aspirin), immunosuppressants, or antidiabetes medications. No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check, but the theoretical risks are moderate for all three categories.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Chaga Tea Extract is a single-ingredient product with theoretical interactions mainly involving blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, and diabetes medications — though none have been reported in humans. If you take any of those medication types, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
The evidence for its effectiveness is also limited, so discuss that with your healthcare provider too.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Chaga Tea Extract by BioAnue contains one active ingredient — chaga extract — which has documented interactions with three medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (medications that prevent clotting). Chaga may theoretically increase bleeding risk because animal and lab research suggests it can slow down how platelets clump together, though this hasn't been reported in human users yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Chaga also interacts with immunosuppressants (drugs that quiet the immune system), which it may interfere with — lab work hints that chaga stimulates immune function, but again, no human cases have been reported. Additionally, there's a theoretical risk with antidiabetes drugs (medications for blood sugar control): animal research suggests chaga might lower blood glucose and raise insulin levels, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Altogether, these interactions span 327 individual medications. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications before you start.
