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 Agaricus Mushroom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Agaricus Mushroom'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 we hold on agaricus mushroom doesn't establish reliable support for any of its common uses. The data rates its effectiveness for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), osteoporosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chemotherapy-induced adverse effects, and Crohn disease all as insufficient — meaning the science so far doesn't clearly show whether it works for these conditions.

If you're considering it for one of these purposes, talk it over with your doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Agaricus Mushroom

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.

Agaricus mushroom is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though some people report abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, or nausea. Rare but serious adverse effects have been reported, including allergic reactions, liver damage, and interstitial lung disease (a scarring condition in the lungs).

Three cases of severe liver damage occurred in women with ovarian or breast cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy and also took agaricus mushroom supplements; two of these cases were fatal. The safety data for pregnancy and breastfeeding is too limited to know whether it's safe, so the safety notes advise against supplement doses during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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 starting Fermented Royal Agaricus 500 mg, double-check all antidiabetes medications (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, and similar drugs) with your doctor or pharmacist. This product carries a moderate-severity risk of increasing low blood sugar episodes when combined with these drugs.

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.

Agaricus mushroom is generally tolerated as food, but supplement safety and long-term effects aren't well established. If you take diabetes medications, this product requires a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first because of the risk of low blood sugar.

If you have liver disease, a history of allergic reactions, or lung problems, mention those as well. The evidence for its intended uses is still uncertain, so clarity on why you're taking it matters.

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.
