However, it’s important to keep in mind that drinking beverages containing chaga mushrooms could aggravate existing digestive issues and increase your risk of kidney stones in those who already suffer from them. Furthermore, these beverages contain high concentrations of oxalates which could aggravate existing conditions further and make developing kidney stones more likely.
