Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Chaga. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Beta-glucans derived from oat bran, baker's yeast, or brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) have Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (4912).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately, short-term in medicinal amounts. There is some evidence that yeast-derived beta-glucans 15 grams daily can be used safely for up to 8 weeks (7272). Oat-derived beta-glucans 3-10 grams daily can also be used safely for up to 12 weeks (7272,5796,17129,34700,34727,34729,34765,34766,34811,34812)(34876,107935,109206). ...when used topically and appropriately. A specific beta-glucans serum and emulsion (Awake; Hangzhou Songyang Biotechnical) combination has been used with apparent safely for up to 12 weeks in clinical research (109210). A specific beta-glucans cream (Imunoglukan P4H, PLEURAN s.r.o.) has been used with apparent safety 2-3 times daily for up to 6 months (98201).

General
...Orally and topically, beta-glucans seem to be well-tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Topically: Contact dermatitis, skin reactions.
Dermatologic ...Topically, a specific beta-glucans cream r.o.) has been reported to cause skin reactions and contact dermatitis in one clinical trial. These reactions occurred in 27% of patients; reactions were mild and self-limiting in 12% of patients (98201).
Hematologic ...In one clinical trial of children and young adults with neuroblastoma, one of 44 patients developed transient elevations of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase within five days of starting oral beta-glucans 120 mg/kg daily (109203).
General ...There is limited reliable information available regarding the adverse effects of chaga.
Renal ...Orally, there have been two cases of kidney failure and one case of acute nephropathy related to excessive chaga consumption, which contains high concentrations of oxalate (96566,105246,108756).
