Can You Take Chaga Mushroom and Vitamin C Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Chaga Mushroom is extremely high in oxalates. Combining with high-dose vitamin C (which is metabolized to oxalate) may increase the risk of kidney stones in susceptible individuals.

How to arrange timing

Avoid combining Chaga Mushroom with high-dose vitamin C supplements. Those with kidney issues should use extra caution.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
