HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Four Kings by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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 Oct 1, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Formula” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Four Kings contains four active ingredients. The first is a proprietary extract blend—that is, a combination formula—whose individual components are listed separately.

The other three are mushroom extracts: cordyceps mycelium extract, agaricus fruiting body extract, and maitake fruiting body extract, plus duanwood reishi fruiting body extract. The inactive ingredients are pullulan (a thickening agent), rice powder, bamboo extract powder, and rice extract blend.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: tonic and protective benefits for wellness.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for what these ingredients actually do is limited. For cordyceps, the data we hold rates its use for athletic performance as possibly ineffective, and for sexual dysfunction, arrhythmia, asthma, lung cancer, and COPD, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it either way.

For agaricus mushroom and maitake mushroom, the same pattern holds—allergic rhinitis, osteoporosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions are all rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate. Duanwood reishi's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cordyceps Agaricus Mushroom Maitake 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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cordyceps is generally well tolerated in the short term, though the evidence is limited and product quality varies widely. The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, constipation, and diarrhea—and these can sometimes be reduced by taking it after eating.

A rare case of liver inflammation (hepatitis) has been reported, though it's unclear whether cordyceps or a contaminant caused it. Agaricus and maitake mushrooms are generally well tolerated, with common side effects being abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea.

Rare but serious risks have been reported: agaricus has a few cases of severe liver damage in patients taking chemotherapy, and both agaricus and maitake can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data for cordyceps, agaricus, and maitake are all insufficient—the monographs advise against their use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough data to know whether they're safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Cordyceps Agaricus Mushroom Maitake Mushroom

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Maitake Mushroom, Cordyceps, Agaricus Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 502 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 taking this product, double-check your medications in these categories: antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications)—cordyceps, agaricus, and maitake all affect blood glucose; anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners)—both cordyceps and maitake interact here; antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications)—maitake may lower pressure further; warfarin (Coumadin) specifically—maitake has a documented case of raised levels; and immunosuppressants (drugs that suppress your immune system)—cordyceps may interfere with them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Four Kings is intended to support wellness through traditional medicinal mushroom extracts, but the clinical evidence for what these ingredients actually do is very limited. The bigger concern is that this product interacts with a number of common medications—especially blood sugar drugs, blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and immune suppressors.

If you take any of those medications or anything else regularly, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page or talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Maitake Fruiting Body Extract, Powder3 drug types · 260 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, combining maitake mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking maitake mushroom polysaccharide (MMP) can lower blood glucose levels in patients with types 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining maitake mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that maitake mushroom can lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is limited evidence that maitake mushroom may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient previously stabilized on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 5.1 after taking maitake mushroom (Grifron-Pro Maitake D-Fraction) 1 drop/kg daily in three divided doses for one week. The elevated INR resolved after holding warfarin for two days, then reducing the dose by 11%. It is thought that the beta-glucan constituent of maitake mushroom might cause warfarin dissociation from proteins, resulting in increased free warfarin levels and increased warfarin effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Maitake Fruiting Body Extract, Powder full monograph & interactions

Cordyceps Mycelium Extract, Powder3 drug types · 249 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cordyceps may increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that cordyceps extract inhibits platelet aggregation and function. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that cordyceps stimulates the immune system. However, limited clinical research suggests that taking cordyceps may lower the necessary therapeutic dose of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, which suggests that cordyceps may have an immunosuppressive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Testosterone

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps and testosterone might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that cordyceps can increase testosterone levels. The clinical significance of this finding is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cordyceps Mycelium Extract, Powder full monograph & interactions

Agaricus Fruiting Body Extract, Powder1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking agaricus mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In one clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are stabilized on conventional oral hypoglycemic agents, 3 of 29 patients taking an agaricus mushroom extract 500 mg three times daily for 12 weeks reported hypoglycemia, compared to one of 29 patients in the placebo group.

Four Kings by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Four Kings by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Four Kings has a known interaction with 502 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Four Kings contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data for cordyceps, agaricus, or maitake during pregnancy or breastfeeding—the evidence is too limited to know whether they're safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What are the most common side effects?
All three of the main ingredients—cordyceps, agaricus, and maitake—can cause abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and sometimes constipation or nausea. These are usually mild, and in some cases taking cordyceps after eating may help.
Does this product actually work for athletic performance or energy?
For athletic performance, the evidence we hold rates cordyceps as possibly ineffective. For the other uses these mushrooms are marketed for—whether sexual function, lung health, immunity, or cancer support—there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate them one way or the other.
What are these mushroom extracts used for?
Cordyceps, agaricus, and maitake are traditional medicinal mushrooms often marketed for athletic performance, immune support, and general wellness. However, the clinical evidence to support most of these claims is still insufficient.
Is there anything else I should know about allergic reactions?
Both agaricus and maitake have rare cases of allergic reactions on record, including rash and itching. If you have a mushroom sensitivity or allergy, mention that to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this.
