Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Breathe Extract. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of chaga.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when an extract of reishi mushroom is used orally and appropriately for up to one year (12,5485,70767,70774,70786,70799,70800,70801,70802). ...when whole powdered reishi mushroom is used orally and appropriately for up to 16 weeks (70776,70799,70800,70801,91433,91435,91436,91437,108309).

Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Breathe Extract. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, chaga may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Details
In vitro and animal research suggests that chaga extract can inhibit platelet aggregation (26260). This effect has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, taking chaga with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Details
|
Theoretically, chaga might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Details
In vitro research suggests that certain constituents of chaga stimulate immune function (26263). This has not been reported in humans.
|
Theoretically, cordyceps may increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Details
Animal and in vitro research suggests that cordyceps stimulates the immune system (3403,3404,3414,3431,3432). However, limited clinical research suggests that taking cordyceps may lower the necessary therapeutic dose of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine (92828), which suggests that cordyceps may have an immunosuppressive effect.
|
Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps and testosterone might have additive effects.
Details
Animal research suggests that cordyceps can increase testosterone levels (46087). The clinical significance of this finding is unclear.
|
Theoretically, high doses of reishi mushroom might increase the risk of bleeding.
Details
|
Theoretically, reishi mushroom might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, concurrent use of reishi mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Breathe Extract. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
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).
General
...Orally, cordyceps seems to be generally well tolerated when used for up to 1 year.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, cordyceps has been associated with diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, dry mouth, and throat discomfort in clinical research. However, these events were uncommon, and in some cases symptoms could be reduced by taking cordyceps after eating (92829,105076,109705).
Hematologic ...Two cases of lead poisoning, characterized by loss of appetite and other symptoms, have been reported for patients taking cordyceps powder. After discontinuing cordyceps supplementation, both patients were treated with chelating agents (46135).
Hepatic ...There is a case report of acute cholestatic hepatitis probably associated with the use of a product containing cordyceps. The 64-year-old male was asymptomatic except for jaundice and laboratory markers and recovered once the supplement was stopped. However, it is unclear whether the hepatitis is associated with the cordyceps or with an unknown contaminant (109704).
Renal ...One case of a mild increase in serum creatinine level (< 30%) has been reported (95905).
General
...Orally, reishi mushroom is generally well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, and stomach upset.
Dermatologic ...Orally, reishi mushroom can cause itching, rash, and other skin reactions (12,5479).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, reishi mushroom can cause dryness of the mouth, throat, or nasal cavity, nausea, stomach upset, and, more rarely, diarrhea (12,70779,91438,108309).
Hematologic ...Orally, reishi mushroom can cause nosebleed and bloody stools (12,91438).
Hepatic ...One case of hepatotoxicity and one case of fatal fulminant hepatitis have been reported in patients who had used reishi mushroom powder for 1-2 months (70766). There is a case report of a 61-year-old male with hypereosinophilia associated with hepatic nodules following the use of reishi mushroom powder for about 2 months. Symptoms resolved after discontinuation of the product. Although these side effects were thought to be associated with the use of reishi mushroom powder, it is unclear if other factors played a role. The patient had been taking tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium for about 4 months following anterior resection for rectal adenocarcinoma but discontinued these agents and initiated reishi mushroom due to liver injury (108312).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, reishi mushroom can cause dizziness (91438). Other rare symptoms include insomnia and headache (70776,70779).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Respiratory allergy to reishi spores can occur (12,5479). Sore throat and runny nose have also been reported (70776,91438).
