HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Immune Factor A by Longevity Medical Clinic

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 Jul 11, 2026

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Immune Factor A contains one active ingredient: astragalus, a plant used traditionally to support immune function. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—rice powder, gelatin, and purified water—which serve as fillers and the capsule shell.

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 Astragalus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Support age-related immune system and healthy aging.
  • We looked for evidence on: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Heart failure, Myocarditis, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Post-stroke fatigue, Chemotherapy-related fatigue — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Astragalus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-related fatigue (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astragalus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Heart failure, Myocarditis, and more.

The evidence we hold for astragalus doesn't establish that it works for the conditions listed—hay fever, absent periods, aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, or beta-thalassemia. All of these are rated insufficient reliable evidence to say one way or the other.

If you're considering this for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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.

Astragalus is generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, but human safety data is limited. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient information.

A small number of trial participants experienced side effects when astragalus was given by mouth—including dizziness and, in one case, a type of chest pain—though these may not have been caused by the supplement itself. Rapid intravenous administration has caused temporary heart palpitations in some patients.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Astragalus

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 — Astragalus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 208 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, check with your pharmacist if you take immunosuppressants (Moderate interaction), lithium (Moderate), cyclophosphamide or other chemotherapy (Moderate), or any diabetes or blood-sugar-lowering medications (Moderate). These are the medication types where astragalus is documented to interfere.

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.

Immune Factor A may be worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist if you're interested in immune support and don't take immunosuppressants, lithium, chemotherapy, or diabetes medications. If you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, avoid this product—there isn't enough safety data.
