HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Biodynamic Astragalus Extract 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: astragalus, fresh. Astragalus is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine, and it's the only medicinal component in this liquid extract.

The product also contains alcohol as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Astragalus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune support and general wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Chemotherapy-related fatigue, Post-stroke fatigue, HIV/AIDS, Colds and flu — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Astragalus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-related fatigue (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astragalus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), HIV/AIDS, Post-stroke fatigue.

The evidence on astragalus for its various uses is not established in the data we hold. The ingredient is marketed for conditions including allergic rhinitis (hay fever), amenorrhea, aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia — but for all of these, the reliable evidence to rate it is insufficient.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about whether human research supports that use.

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 in the short term in healthy adults, though human safety data is limited. The facts note that oral astragalus has been associated with palpitations, dizziness, and in one trial a type of chest pain (lacunar angina), though it's unclear whether astragalus caused these or they happened by coincidence.

Because safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not sufficient, the data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance 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 take this astragalus product, double-check Moderate-severity interactions with immunosuppressants (including those used after transplant), lithium, cyclophosphamide, and antidiabetes drugs with the medication checker below. These are your top concerns with this ingredient.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Oregon's Wild Harvest Biodynamic Astragalus Extract is a single-herb product that may appeal to people interested in traditional immune support, but the human evidence for its effectiveness is not established. If you take any medication — especially for immune suppression, mood, blood sugar, or cancer — check your exact drugs with the search tool on this page before you start.

Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and talk with your pharmacist if you have questions about whether this fits your health plan.

Astragalus, Fresh4 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.

Biodynamic Astragalus Extract by Oregon's Wild Harvest: Common Questions

Does Biodynamic Astragalus Extract by Oregon's Wild Harvest interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Biodynamic Astragalus Extract 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?
Biodynamic Astragalus Extract 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for astragalus in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not sufficient, so the data advises against use during both. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor to weigh the options for your specific situation — they know your health history.
Does this actually work for immune health?
The evidence we hold on astragalus doesn't establish that it's effective for the conditions it's marketed for — including hay fever, asthma, anemia, and others. The data rates the evidence as insufficient. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, ask your pharmacist whether human research supports that.
What are the side effects?
Astragalus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though full safety data in humans is limited. It's been associated with palpitations, dizziness, and in one trial chest pain, though it's unclear whether astragalus caused these. If you experience any unusual symptoms, stop and call your pharmacist or doctor.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes — the product contains alcohol as an inactive ingredient beyond the astragalus itself.
Will this interfere with my blood pressure medicine or diabetes pills?
Astragalus theoretically interacts with blood-sugar-lowering drugs (increasing your risk of low blood sugar) and may raise lithium levels if you take it for mood. Use the medication checker on this page to see if your exact medication is on the list — don't assume.
