HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Immuno-DMG by DaVinci Laboratories

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Maitake PD-Fraction powder” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (17 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Immuno-DMG has four active ingredients designed to support immune function. Larch arabinogalactan is a fiber from the larch tree that may help with immune response.

Beta-glucans — a type of polysaccharide — and maitake PD-Fraction powder, derived from mushroom, are both included for their potential immune-supporting properties. N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl and D-Fraction round out the formula.

The tablets also contain inactive ingredients like microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, and silica to hold the tablet together.

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: support proper immune system function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Chemotherapy-induced leukopenia, Common cold, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Critical illness (trauma) — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Larch Arabinogalactan is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beta-glucans is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Lower respiratory tract infections, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Atopic dermatitis (eczema), and more.

The evidence for this product's ingredients is mixed. Beta-glucans are rated Likely Effective for lowering cholesterol (dyslipidemia) and supporting heart health (coronary heart disease).

However, larch arabinogalactan has Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate for the common cold and cholesterol — meaning studies haven't established whether it works for these uses. We hold no effectiveness ratings for D-Fraction, N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl, or the maitake component in our data, so we can't say how they perform.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maitake Mushroom Larch Arabinogalactan 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 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.

Larch arabinogalactan and beta-glucans are generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data are limited for concentrated supplements. The most common side effect from larch arabinogalactan is bloating and flatulence — expected for a fiber.

Beta-glucans in food amounts are considered safe, but the safety profile of supplement doses is not well studied. One trial of children with neuroblastoma reported a single case of mild, temporary liver enzyme elevation after high-dose oral beta-glucans.

Topically applied beta-glucans cream caused mild, self-limiting skin reactions in some trial participants.

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 — Larch Arabinogalactan, 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.

Check your medications before taking this product if you take immunosuppressant drugs (like azathioprine, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, or tacrolimus) — larch arabinogalactan and beta-glucans may interfere with them. Also check if you take blood pressure medications, since beta-glucans might lower your blood pressure further and increase the risk of low blood pressure (hypotension).

We could not check D-Fraction or N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl for interactions.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

This product may be worth considering if you're looking to support general immune health, and beta-glucans have solid evidence for cholesterol and heart health. However, if you take immunosuppressants (for an organ transplant or autoimmune condition) or blood pressure medication, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting — the ingredients may interfere with how these drugs work.

Anyone on medication should run their exact prescriptions through our checker first.

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.

Immuno-DMG by DaVinci Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Immuno-DMG by DaVinci Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Immuno-DMG has a known interaction with 381 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Immuno-DMG 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.
Does Immuno-DMG actually work for colds or the flu?
The evidence isn't established for larch arabinogalactan against colds — studies so far are not reliable enough to say it works. We don't have effectiveness ratings for the other immune-supporting ingredients either. If you're considering it for that reason, talk to your pharmacist about what the evidence shows.
What's the most common side effect?
Bloating and flatulence, since larch arabinogalactan is a fiber. Starting with a lower dose and drinking plenty of water may help. These effects are usually mild.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data for either pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can weigh what we know and help you decide what's right for you.
Is this safe to use long-term?
Beta-glucans from food are well tolerated, but long-term safety data for concentrated supplements are limited. If you're planning to take this regularly, mention it to your healthcare provider, especially if you have any existing health conditions.
Will this interfere with my transplant medication?
Possibly — both larch arabinogalactan and beta-glucans may theoretically interfere with immunosuppressant drugs. Do not start this product without checking with your transplant team or pharmacist first.
