HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astragalus eeTee by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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 1 active ingredient.

Astragalus eeTee is a single-ingredient supplement: astragalus root extract, a concentrated form of a plant used in traditional Asian medicine. The powder also contains maltodextrin, an inactive ingredient that helps with texture and absorption.

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 Astragalus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astragalus'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 astragalus in the conditions listed here—hay fever, absent periods (amenorrhea), aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia—is not established in the data we hold. Each of these is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence, which means clinical proof isn't strong enough yet to make a claim about whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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.

Astragalus is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth short-term in healthy adults, though quality human safety data is limited. Some people have reported dizziness or, in one trial, a throat condition called lacunar angina, though it's unclear whether astragalus caused these.

The safety data advises against astragalus during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe in those situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Astragalus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 208 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.

Before you start, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take immunosuppressants, lithium, cyclophosphamide, or antidiabetes drugs. Astragalus may interfere with how these work or raise your risk of low blood sugar.

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.

Astragalus eeTee is a single-extract powder that may appeal to people interested in immune support or traditional herbal approaches. But it's not a good fit if you take immunosuppressants, lithium, cyclophosphamide, or blood sugar medications—check the list with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

It's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Astragalus root extract4 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 eeTee by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Astragalus eeTee by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Astragalus eeTee has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Astragalus eeTee 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it.
Does astragalus actually boost immunity?
The evidence in our data doesn't establish that claim for any specific condition. What we do know is that astragalus seems to stimulate immune function in theory, which is why it can interfere with immunosuppressive medications.
What are the side effects?
Astragalus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults. Dizziness and, rarely, throat or skin reactions have been reported in some trials, though it's not always clear astragalus caused them. Quality human safety data is limited.
Is this just the extract, or does it have other stuff in it?
It's astragalus root extract plus maltodextrin, an inactive ingredient that helps with the powder form. There are no other active ingredients.
Can I use this if I take blood sugar medication?
You should check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Astragalus might lower blood sugar on its own, and combining it with diabetes drugs could push your levels too low.
Will this help with hay fever or asthma?
The evidence for astragalus in either condition is not established in our data, so we can't say whether it works for those uses.
