HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Chaga Extract 1500 mg by SuperSmart

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: chaga extract at 1500 mg per capsule. Chaga is a fungus that grows on birch trees and has been used in traditional medicine.

The capsule also contains acacia gum as an inactive ingredient.

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

This is a single-ingredient Chaga product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chaga's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence supporting chaga for cardiovascular health, diabetes management, and COVID-19 is insufficient to rate reliably. We don't have data showing it works for these conditions at the doses in this product.

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 used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited. A few serious risks have been reported: there have been two cases of kidney failure and one case of acute nephropathy (kidney inflammation) linked to excessive chaga consumption, which is high in oxalate — a compound that can accumulate in the kidneys.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

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.

Before starting this product, check your medications if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, immune-suppressing medications, or antidiabetes drugs. These are the main types documented to interact with chaga.

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.

If you take blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, or diabetes medications, check with your pharmacist or doctor before trying this supplement. Chaga hasn't been well studied in humans, and kidney safety is a concern with heavy use.

Anyone with a history of kidney problems should be especially cautious.

Does Organic Chaga Extract 1500 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Chaga Extract 1500 mg 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?
Organic Chaga Extract 1500 mg 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.
Is chaga safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend chaga during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in either situation.
What side effects have been reported with chaga?
The main concern is kidney damage. There have been two cases of kidney failure and one case of kidney inflammation tied to excessive chaga consumption, which contains high levels of oxalate. If you have kidney problems or a history of kidney stones, be especially cautious.
Does chaga actually work for heart health or diabetes?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say either way. We don't have reliable human data showing chaga works for cardiovascular disease or diabetes at the dose in this product.
Why do I need to check my blood thinner with this supplement?
Lab and animal research suggests chaga may slow blood clotting and increase bleeding risk. It hasn't been tested in humans taking blood thinners, but the potential is real enough to warrant a conversation with your pharmacist or doctor.
How much of the ingredient is in each capsule?
Each capsule contains 1500 mg of chaga extract.
