HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astragalus Root Extract 300 mg by Vital Nutrients
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
This product contains one active ingredient: astragalus root extract at 300 mg per capsule. Astragalus has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, and modern research has explored its potential effects on immune function and blood sugar regulation.
The capsule itself is filled out with inactive ingredients—cellulose, calcium carbonate, rice powder, silica, and leucine—which serve as binders and flow agents.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't show that astragalus is reliably effective for any single condition. For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), amenorrhea (absent menstrual periods), aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia, the available data is insufficient to establish real benefit.
That doesn't mean it won't help you — it means the research so far hasn't been solid enough to say either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Astragalus is generally well tolerated when taken short-term by healthy adults, but human safety data is limited. Some clinical trials have reported dizziness in a small number of participants, and one study noted a report of chest pain (though it's unclear if astragalus caused it).
Because there isn't enough reliable safety data, astragalus should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you if you're in either situation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this supplement, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use immunosuppressant medications (like those after organ transplant), lithium (for bipolar disorder or depression), cyclophosphamide (chemotherapy), or diabetes medications. All carry Moderate interaction risks with astragalus.
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 may be worth considering if you're interested in immune or metabolic support, but it's not proven for any specific condition yet. If you take lithium, diabetes medications, immunosuppressants, or cyclophosphamide, or if you're pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
The interaction data is theoretical rather than proven in humans, but the risks are real enough to warrant a conversation with your healthcare provider.

Astragalus Root Extract 300 mg by Vital Nutrients Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Astragalus Root Extract by Vital Nutrients can interact with several types of medications.
The most serious concern is with immunosuppressant drugs (Moderate severity) — astragalus seems to rev up your immune system, which could theoretically work against medications designed to calm it down, such as those taken after an organ transplant. This means the immunosuppressants may not work as well as intended.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to flag lithium (Moderate severity), a mood-stabilizing medication. Astragalus appears to have mild diuretic properties, which could reduce how your body clears lithium, potentially raising its levels in your blood.
Cyclophosphamide (Moderate severity), a chemotherapy drug, is another Moderate concern — research is mixed on whether astragalus interferes with how well it works. Finally, antidiabetes drugs (Moderate severity) carry a Moderate risk: because astragalus may lower blood sugar on its own, combining it with diabetes medications could push your glucose too low.
Altogether, these interactions span 208 individual medications. Please use the search tool below to check any specific prescriptions you take before starting this supplement.

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.
