HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Agaricus by Amazon Therapeutics

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

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 0 of its 3 active ingredients.

This product contains 3 ingredients total. The active ingredient is agaricus mushroom (Agaricus Sun Supreme Top), which is a medicinal fungus used in traditional medicine.

The other two ingredients — distilled water and organic alcohol — are inactive, used to extract and preserve the mushroom material in liquid form.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Agaricus Mushroom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Agaricus Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for agaricus mushroom is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), osteoporosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chemotherapy side effects, and Crohn disease.

This means trials either haven't been done, are too small, or results are unclear — not that it doesn't work, but that we can't say it does based on the science we have.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Agaricus mushroom is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea — mild and fairly typical for mushroom supplements.

Rare serious effects have been reported, including allergic reactions, liver damage, and a lung condition called interstitial lung disease (ILD). Three cases of severe liver damage occurred in women with ovarian or breast cancer who were also undergoing chemotherapy; two were fatal.

For pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid supplement doses. Same goes for breastfeeding — the data isn't there to say it's safe.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Agaricus Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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 antidiabetes drugs — agaricus mushroom can increase the risk of low blood sugar. We weren't able to check the alcohol and water components, so mention those to your pharmacist too.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Agaricus mushroom may interest people looking for traditional immune or antioxidant support, but the evidence for specific health claims is thin. If you take diabetes medications, talk with your pharmacist before adding this — the risk of low blood sugar is real.

Anyone with liver disease, a history of hepatitis B, or plans to become pregnant should check with their doctor first.

What are the most common side effects of agaricus mushroom?
The mild ones you might see are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea. Serious side effects are rare, but allergic reactions, liver damage, and a lung condition called interstitial lung disease have been reported. If you develop a rash, yellowing of the skin, or shortness of breath, stop and contact your doctor.
Is this safe to take while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data for agaricus mushroom in pregnancy, so it's best to avoid supplement doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
Not enough safety data exists for breastfeeding either, so avoid supplement doses if you're nursing. Your pharmacist or doctor can discuss other options with you.
Does agaricus mushroom actually work for cancer or other diseases listed here?
The evidence is too limited to say. For the conditions listed — cancer, heart disease, hay fever, osteoporosis, and others — we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works. That doesn't mean it's useless, but claims aren't backed by solid science yet.
What's the alcohol content of this liquid?
The product contains 35–40% organic alcohol, which is used to extract and preserve the mushroom. If you need to avoid alcohol, this may not be the right choice for you — ask your pharmacist about alcohol-free alternatives.
