Can I take Chaga and White button together?

Perché succede

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) and white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) do not share metabolic pathways or chemical compounds that would cause a negative reaction when combined. Both contain various antioxidants and polysaccharides (like beta-glucans), but these do not interfere with one another.

You can safely consume these together. However, if you are taking chaga as a concentrated supplement, ensure you follow the dosage instructions on the label. If you have a known mushroom allergy, avoid both.

Kidney disease or history of kidney stones

Chaga is extremely high in oxalates, which can cause permanent kidney damage or acute kidney failure, especially in those with existing renal issues.

Diabete

Chaga may significantly lower blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia (dangerously low blood sugar) if you are taking insulin or other diabetes medications.

Autoimmune diseases (e.g., Lupus, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis)

Chaga can stimulate the immune system, which may worsen symptoms of autoimmune conditions or interfere with immunosuppressant medications.

Bleeding disorders or upcoming surgery

Chaga may slow blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding; it should be avoided if you have a bleeding disorder or are scheduled for surgery.

Alcol

Chaga contains high levels of oxalates. Combining it with alcohol may increase the risk of kidney stones or kidney stress, as both substances can affect renal function. Use with caution.
