HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astragalus Reishi by Oregon's Wild Harvest
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Astragalus Reishi contains two active ingredients: astragalus and organic reishi mushroom. Both are traditional botanical extracts with a long history of use in herbal medicine.
The product also includes pullulan as an inactive ingredient—a binder that holds the capsule together. These are the only two active ingredients; the formulation is straightforward.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold for both ingredients is limited. For astragalus, we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use in hay fever, amenorrhea (absent menstruation), aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia.
For reishi mushroom, it is rated possibly ineffective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and we lack sufficient evidence to rate it for altitude sickness, Alzheimer disease, and athletic performance. In short, the specific uses these ingredients may be marketed for are not well established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both astragalus and reishi mushroom are generally well tolerated in the short term in healthy adults, though human safety data is limited. Astragalus has been associated with dizziness and, rarely, chest pain symptoms in clinical trials, though it's unclear whether astragalus caused them.
Reishi is commonly associated with dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, and stomach upset; rare effects include insomnia and headache. A few people may have a respiratory allergy to reishi spores, with sore throat and runny nose.
The safety data advises against astragalus and reishi mushroom during pregnancy and while breastfeeding—there isn't enough information to know they are safe in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, double-check it with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on immunosuppressant or cancer drugs (like cyclophosphamide), lithium, blood pressure medications, blood thinners (anticoagulants), or diabetes medications. All of these carry Moderate-severity risks with one or both ingredients in this formula.
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.
Astragalus Reishi may appeal to those interested in immune and general wellness support, but the evidence for specific health claims is not well established in our data. The bigger concern is the moderate-severity interactions with immunosuppressants, lithium, blood pressure medications, blood thinners, and diabetes drugs—so if you take any of those, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.

Astragalus Reishi by Oregon's Wild Harvest Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Astragalus Reishi by Oregon's Wild Harvest contains two active ingredients, each with documented interactions.
The most serious concern involves astragalus and immunosuppressant drugs (including the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide). Astragalus appears to stimulate immune function, which theoretically could reduce how well these medications work—a Moderate-severity risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Both ingredients interact with antidiabetes drugs at Moderate severity. Astragalus may lower blood sugar on its own, and reishi mushroom shows similar effects in animal studies, so combining either with diabetes medications might raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Reishi also affects blood pressure medications and blood thinners (anticoagulants) at Moderate severity: it can lower blood pressure further and, at higher doses, may increase bleeding risk.
Astragalus carries an additional Moderate-severity interaction with lithium, a mood-stabilizing medication; the diuretic properties of astragalus might cause lithium to build up in your body. Altogether, these interactions span 495 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Astragalus Reishi 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.
organic Reishi Mushroom
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, high doses of reishi mushroom might increase the risk of bleeding.
A dose of 1.5 grams daily of reishi mushroom does not seem to decrease platelet aggregation, but a higher dose of 3 grams daily does.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, reishi mushroom might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that reishi mushroom decreases blood sugar. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes, taking reishi mushroom does not reduce fasting glucose levels, and its effects on glycated hemoglobin are inconsistent.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of reishi mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Reishi mushroom has shown hypotensive activity in animal research. Clinical evidence suggests that reishi mushroom reduces blood pressure in some, but not all, patients with hypertension.
Astragalus
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.
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.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
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.
