HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Advanced Immune Support by The Vitamin Shoppe

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Active Hexose Correlated Compound” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Advanced Immune Support contains six ingredients, three of which are active: maitake mushroom mycelial extract, astragalus, and agaricus blazei mushroom. The product also contains Active Hexose Correlated Compound, which is a blend of component ingredients listed separately.

The remaining three ingredients are inactive fillers: rice flour, vegetable cellulose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and candelilla wax.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune system support and general wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Chemotherapy-induced leukopenia, Immune function, Antioxidant support — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maitake Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maitake Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-induced leukopenia, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
  • Also on file: Astragalus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Chemotherapy-induced leukopenia.

The evidence for these ingredients isn't established in our data. Maitake mushroom, astragalus, and agaricus blazei mushroom all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate them for allergies, anemia, cancer, diabetes control, asthma, angina, or the other conditions in the literature we hold.

That doesn't mean they don't work — it means the research to prove it isn't solid enough for us to call.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maitake Mushroom Astragalus Agaricus Mushroom

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Maitake mushroom is generally well tolerated as a food, though concentrated supplement safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects in trials were stomach upset, including diarrhea and epigastric pain (pain below your ribs), plus nausea in a small number of participants.

A rare allergic rash was reported in one patient and cleared on its own. Astragalus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but human safety data is limited; dizziness and rash have been reported rarely in some studies.

Agaricus mushroom is generally well tolerated, with the most common side effects being abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea. Rare but serious reports exist of allergic reactions, liver injury, and lung inflammation (interstitial lung disease), including three cases of severe liver damage in women with cancer taking supplements.

The safety data advises against this product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough data to know either way.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Maitake Mushroom, Astragalus, Agaricus Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 382 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this product before starting if you take blood thinners like warfarin, blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, immunosuppressants, lithium, or cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy drug). All carry Moderate-severity risks.

No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could not check.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is for people looking to support their immune system who don't take blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, immunosuppressants, lithium, or certain chemotherapy drugs. If you take any of those, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist before starting.

The evidence for whether it actually works isn't solid, so manage expectations.

For each ingredient in Advanced Immune Support with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Mushroom mycelial extract3 drug types · 260 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, combining maitake mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking maitake mushroom polysaccharide (MMP) can lower blood glucose levels in patients with types 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining maitake mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that maitake mushroom can lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is limited evidence that maitake mushroom may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient previously stabilized on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 5.1 after taking maitake mushroom (Grifron-Pro Maitake D-Fraction) 1 drop/kg daily in three divided doses for one week. The elevated INR resolved after holding warfarin for two days, then reducing the dose by 11%. It is thought that the beta-glucan constituent of maitake mushroom might cause warfarin dissociation from proteins, resulting in increased free warfarin levels and increased warfarin effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Mushroom mycelial extract full monograph & interactions

Astragalus4 drug types · 208 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking astragalus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research in humans shows that astragalus might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, taking astragalus, especially in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cyclophosphamide

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with cyclophosphamide therapy.
Evidence regarding the effect of astragalus on immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide is conflicting. Some animal research suggests that astragalus reverses cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. However, other animal research shows no effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, astragalus might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that astragalus has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to this diuretic effect, astragalus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Astragalus full monograph & interactions

Agaricus blazei mushroom1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking agaricus mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In one clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are stabilized on conventional oral hypoglycemic agents, 3 of 29 patients taking an agaricus mushroom extract 500 mg three times daily for 12 weeks reported hypoglycemia, compared to one of 29 patients in the placebo group.

Advanced Immune Support by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Advanced Immune Support by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Advanced Immune Support has a known interaction with 382 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Advanced Immune Support contains 6 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for any of the three active ingredients, so the data advises against use in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.
What are the most common side effects?
Stomach upset is the main one — diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort showed up in clinical trials. These were generally mild, but a small number of people experienced them. One person had to stop taking maitake mushroom because of diarrhea.
Does this actually work for immune support?
We don't have solid evidence in our data that any of the three active ingredients work for the immune-related conditions tested. That doesn't prove they don't work, just that the research isn't strong enough for us to call it.
What's maitake mushroom supposed to do?
It's a fungal extract included for immune support, but we don't have reliable evidence it does what the label claims. Just know it can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, which is why it interacts with those types of medications.
Why are there so many drug interactions?
The three active ingredients (maitake, astragalus, and agaricus) each interact with several medication classes. Maitake and astragalus both affect blood sugar and blood pressure; astragalus also affects immune drugs and lithium; agaricus affects blood sugar. When you add those up, you get a lot of individual medications.
