HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Immune by Om Mushroom Superfood

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

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.
  • “Certified Organic Immune Mushroom Powder Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This powder blend contains 4 active mushroom ingredients: maitake, reishi, turkey tail, and himematsutake (agaricus). These are all medicinal mushrooms that have been used traditionally to support immune function, though their effectiveness for specific conditions hasn't been reliably established in clinical research.

The blend also includes myceliated oats as an inactive ingredient.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports broad spectrum immune defense.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Cancer, Chemotherapy-induced adverse effects, Chemotherapy-induced anemia, Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, Chemotherapy-induced leukopenia — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maitake Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maitake Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-induced anemia, Laryngeal cancer, Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and more.

The research we have on file doesn't establish reliable effectiveness for either maitake or himematsutake for the conditions listed — these range from allergic rhinitis and osteoporosis to chemotherapy side effects and cardiovascular disease. The evidence is simply too sparse right now to say whether this blend actually works for any particular use.

We have no effectiveness data on file for reishi or turkey tail.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maitake Mushroom 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both maitake and himematsutake are generally well tolerated as foods, though supplement safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: a small number of trial participants reported diarrhea, nausea, or stomach pain.

Rarely, allergic reactions have been reported — including rash and itching — which cleared when the product was stopped. Three rare cases of serious liver damage have been reported with agaricus mushroom supplements in women undergoing chemotherapy; we can't predict who might be at risk.

For pregnancy: the safety data for concentrated supplements of maitake and himematsutake is not established enough to recommend them — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. The same applies to breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maitake Mushroom Agaricus 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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Maitake Mushroom, Agaricus Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 260 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, flag it with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on warfarin or any blood thinner — maitake may increase its effect and your bleeding risk. Double-check if you take blood pressure medications or any diabetes drugs, as both mushrooms in this blend may lower blood pressure and blood sugar.

Make sure they're aware so they can monitor you.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take warfarin, blood pressure medications, or diabetes drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — the mushrooms in it may amplify their effects in ways that matter for your health. If you're planning to take it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, discuss it with your healthcare provider first because safety data is limited.

Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated, though stomach upset can happen.

Ingredients driving the most interactions

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Immune with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Maitake, 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

Himematsutake, 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.

Immune by Om Mushroom Superfood: Common Questions

Does Immune by Om Mushroom Superfood interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Immune has a known interaction with 260 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Immune 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 on blood pressure or diabetes medication?
You'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Both maitake and himematsutake can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, so combining them with your medications could push those numbers lower than intended. They may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely.
What are the side effects I might see?
Most people tolerate it fine, but stomach upset — diarrhea, nausea, or stomach pain — is the most common issue in trials. Rarely, allergic reactions like rash have been reported. Stop and contact your doctor if you develop severe stomach pain or an unusual rash.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking concentrated mushroom supplements while pregnant or nursing — they can help you weigh what's known and what's uncertain for your situation.
What do these mushrooms actually do for me?
They're marketed for immune support and have been used traditionally for that, but the clinical evidence isn't strong enough yet to reliably say they work for any specific condition. The ingredients themselves haven't been proven effective for allergies, cancer support, or the other uses listed.
Does this blend have any fillers?
It contains myceliated oats as an inactive ingredient. The rest is the mushroom powders themselves.
