HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ergo+ by Real Mushrooms
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
Ergo+ has two active ingredients: L-ergothioneine and beta-(1,3)(1,6)-glucans (beta-glucans, for short), plus a Golden Oyster Mushroom Extract. L-ergothioneine is an amino acid found naturally in mushrooms and other foods, while beta-glucans are compounds in mushroom cell walls believed to support immune and cardiovascular health.
The product also contains inactive ingredients—hypromellose, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and microcrystalline cellulose—which are common capsule fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Not established
The data shows beta-glucans are likely effective for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and coronary heart disease, based on clinical research. L-ergothioneine is being studied for coronary heart disease and joint pain, but there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate how well it works for either condition.
If heart health or cholesterol is why you're considering this product, the beta-glucans ingredient has some support; for other uses, the evidence isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Beta-glucans from food are generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements (like this one) don't have enough long-term safety data, so use caution. L-ergothioneine appears well tolerated in foods and short-term studies, though long-term supplement safety isn't well established.
For pregnancy: L-ergothioneine should be avoided—there isn't enough safety data on supplement doses. Beta-glucans in pregnancy also lack adequate research, so caution is advised.
For breastfeeding: L-ergothioneine should be avoided, and beta-glucans have little research at supplement doses, so caution applies there too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using Ergo+ if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before taking Ergo+ if you're on blood pressure medication or drugs that suppress your immune system (such as those used after organ transplant). Both Moderate-severity interactions are in the product.
No interactions are documented for L-ergothioneine.
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.
Ergo+ is mainly for people interested in supporting heart health or cholesterol levels through beta-glucans, which have research backing. If you take blood pressure medication or immunosuppressants, check with your pharmacist first—this product could affect how they work.
Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about long-term use.

Ergo+ by Real Mushrooms Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Ergo+ by Real Mushrooms contains two active ingredients, and one of them—beta-glucans—has documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives). Beta-glucans can lower blood pressure, so taking them alongside antihypertensive drugs may increase the risk of excessively low blood pressure (hypotension).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Beta-glucans may also interfere with immunosuppressant drugs used to prevent organ rejection or manage autoimmune conditions. Because beta-glucans stimulate the immune system, they could theoretically work against the intended effect of these medications.
L-ergothioneine, the other active ingredient, has no known interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 287 individual medications.
Before you start Ergo+, use the medication checker on this page to look up any blood pressure or immunosuppressant drugs you take.
