Does it work?

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 isn't established yet in the data we hold. Studies haven't shown reliable benefits for hay fever, osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, chemotherapy side effects, or Crohn's disease — there simply isn't enough solid research to rate it for any of these uses.

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 mild: abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea.

Rare but serious side effects have been reported, including allergic reactions, liver damage, and lung inflammation (interstitial lung disease). Three cases of severe liver damage have occurred in people taking agaricus supplements during cancer chemotherapy — two were fatal.

Allergic skin reactions have also been documented. There isn't enough safety data to recommend agaricus mushroom during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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.

Agaricus mushroom supplement is generally well tolerated for most people, but the evidence for what it actually treats isn't established. The main caution is if you're on diabetes medication — low blood sugar risk is a real concern.

Does Agaricus Mushroom Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Agaricus Mushroom Powder has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Agaricus Mushroom Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
What are the most common side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. The most common side effects are mild: abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea. If you experience these, they're usually manageable, but talk with us if they persist.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid supplement doses during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend it while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is there evidence it actually works for anything?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Studies haven't shown reliable benefits for the conditions it's often used for — like hay fever, bone health, or cancer — so we can't rate it for those uses.
What serious side effects should I watch for?
Serious side effects are rare but have been reported: allergic reactions (skin rashes), liver damage, and lung inflammation. These are uncommon, but if you develop a rash, yellowing of the skin, or shortness of breath, stop and contact your doctor right away.
