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

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: agaricus blazei extract and agaricus blazei, both forms of the agaricus mushroom. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—gelatin, dibasic calcium phosphate, silica, and magnesium stearate—which are fillers and binders.

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 Agaricus Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune and natural killer cell activation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cancer, Chemotherapy-induced adverse effects, Multiple myeloma, Immunomodulation, NK cell function, Immune enhancement.
  • The closest evidence on file: Agaricus Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Agaricus Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-induced adverse effects, Multiple myeloma.

The evidence for agaricus mushroom isn't established in our data. The product's ingredients carry insufficient evidence to rate them for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), osteoporosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chemotherapy-induced side effects, and Crohn disease.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the research 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. The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea.

Rarely, allergic reactions, liver damage (hepatotoxicity), and lung inflammation (interstitial lung disease) have been reported—including three cases of severe liver damage in women with cancer who were also receiving chemotherapy. The safety data for pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't enough to know either way.

The facts advise against supplement doses during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Why this rating?

  • 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.

If you take any antidiabetes medication (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others), check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product—agaricus mushroom may increase the risk of low blood sugar. No other interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
