HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ImmuBlast by NutriCology

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
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.

ImmuBlast contains 2 active ingredients. Lactobacillus fermentum extract is a beneficial bacterial culture believed to support immune function.

Beta-1,3-Glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from yeast and mushrooms, also studied for immune and heart health benefits. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients — gelatin, rice flour, and ascorbyl palmitate — which serve as the capsule shell and preservative.

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 Beta-glucans's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune system stimulator.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, Critical illness (trauma), Exercise-induced respiratory infections, Lower respiratory tract infections, Otitis media, Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Beta-glucans is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beta-glucans is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Exercise-induced respiratory infections, and more.

Beta-1,3-Glucan in this product is rated Likely Effective for dyslipidemia (high cholesterol) and coronary heart disease. Research supports its use for these cardiovascular concerns.

We hold no effectiveness data for Lactobacillus fermentum extract in our monographs, so we cannot speak to how well it works for any condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Beta-glucans

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.

Beta-1,3-Glucan from food sources is generally well tolerated. However, concentrated supplements in higher doses lack the long-term safety testing that whole foods have had, so caution is warranted.

In clinical trials, oral beta-glucans have been well tolerated overall; one child in a high-dose trial (120 mg/kg daily) showed temporary liver enzyme elevations that resolved on their own. Topically applied beta-glucans have occasionally caused mild, self-limiting skin reactions.

Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding, we have no pregnancy data on file for the ingredients in this product. There is little research on concentrated supplement doses during breastfeeding, so caution is advised.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you are pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Beta-glucans

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 — Beta-glucans.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 293 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 ImmuBlast, double-check any blood pressure medications you're on — beta-glucans may enhance their effect and lower your pressure further. If you take immunosuppressants, run those through the checker too, since beta-glucans may work against them.

Altogether, these interactions span 287 individual medications.

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.

ImmuBlast may be worth considering if you're interested in immune or heart health support. If you take blood pressure medications or immunosuppressants (such as after transplant or for autoimmune disease), check your medications with the tool on this page before starting.

Talk with your pharmacist to make sure it fits your health picture.
