From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: agaricus mushroom extract at 450 mg in a 5:1 concentrated form, which means the extract is made from five parts of raw mushroom material. The capsule also contains gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 not established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for hay fever, osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, chemotherapy side effects, or Crohn disease.

If you're considering this product for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist about what the broader research shows.

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.

Rare but serious adverse effects including allergic reactions, liver damage, and interstitial lung disease (a type of lung injury) have been reported. Three cases of severe liver damage occurred in women with ovarian or breast cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy and taking agaricus mushroom at the same time.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so the evidence advises against supplement doses. The same applies to breastfeeding — avoid supplement doses while nursing.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take diabetes medication, check with your pharmacist before starting — there's a moderate risk of low blood sugar. The supplement is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but serious liver injury and lung damage have been reported rarely.

Long-term safety data are limited. Have a conversation with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this product is right for you, especially if you have a history of liver disease or are on other medications.
