HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stomach Mender 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (260 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Stomach Mender contains three active ingredients in a proprietary blend. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme — a protein-digesting enzyme naturally found in your stomach that helps break down food.

Chaga extract comes from a fungus traditionally used in teas and foods for its potential health properties. Bile extract supports bile function, which plays a role in fat digestion and absorption.

The capsule itself is gelatin, an inactive ingredient that holds the blend. We could not verify the safety profile of bile extract — no interaction or safety data is on file for it.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The evidence isn't established in our data for what Stomach Mender can do. Chaga has been studied for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and COVID-19, but the research is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for any of those purposes.

No effectiveness ratings are available for pepsin or bile extract in our data, so we can't tell you whether this blend works for its intended digestive support based on what we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pepsin is generally well tolerated, though it may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. Occupational exposure to airborne pepsin has rarely triggered allergic rhinitis or asthma in workers; this is uncommon but worth knowing if you have a history of enzyme sensitivities.

Chaga is generally used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited. There have been rare reports of kidney problems (two cases of kidney failure and one of acute kidney injury) linked to excessive chaga consumption because it contains high concentrations of oxalate.

Chaga is not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety information either way. Pepsin's safety data in pregnancy advise against use unless prescribed by your doctor; breastfeeding data are sparse, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding data for bile extract.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) 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 2 matched ingredients 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 you take Stomach Mender, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), immunosuppressive medications, or diabetes drugs. Chaga extract may theoretically increase bleeding risk, interfere with immune suppression, or raise the risk of low blood sugar — none reported in humans, but worth confirming your specific situation.

We could not check bile extract for interactions.

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.

Stomach Mender might appeal to you if you're looking for digestive enzyme support, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't established in our data. The main caution is if you take blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or diabetes medications — chaga may interact with all three.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any prescriptions.

Is chaga safe to use every day?
Chaga is generally used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited. There have been rare reports of kidney problems from excessive chaga consumption because it's high in oxalate. Daily use should be discussed with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.
