HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mushroom Complex by Wonder 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.

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Wonder Laboratories' Mushroom Complex is a capsule containing 3 active ingredients. One of them, Grifo-Gen, is maitake mushroom — a fungus used in traditional medicine and studied for immune and metabolic effects.

We could not check the other two ingredients, Rei-Gen and Shi-Gen, for interaction data. The capsules also contain inactive ingredients (cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica) that help hold the product together and fill the capsule.

Does it work?

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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Maitake Mushroom product and its label doesn't state a use — see Maitake Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

Maitake mushroom's effectiveness for the conditions listed — including allergic rhinitis (hay fever), chemotherapy-related anemia, laryngeal cancer, chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, and chronic fatigue syndrome — all carry insufficient evidence in the data we hold. That means the research so far isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these uses.

We have no effectiveness information on file for Rei-Gen or Shi-Gen.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maitake 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.

Maitake mushroom is generally well tolerated when taken orally. In clinical trials, the most common side effects were gastrointestinal — a small number of participants reported diarrhea, epigastric pain (discomfort in the upper belly), or nausea.

One person experienced a rash and itching after two doses, though it resolved without treatment. Due to insufficient safety data on concentrated supplements, maitake should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding information for Rei-Gen or Shi-Gen.

  • 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 you take Mushroom Complex, double-check your medications against these drug types: blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs), and warfarin (Coumadin) — all Moderate severity concerns with maitake mushroom. We could not check the other two ingredients in this product for interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is worth a closer look if you're interested in mushroom supplements, but you'll need to check your medications first — especially if you take blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or warfarin. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before adding it to your routine, particularly if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any prescriptions.

Grifo-Gen3 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.

Mushroom Complex by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Mushroom Complex by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mushroom Complex 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?
Mushroom Complex contains 3 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.
What is maitake mushroom used for?
Maitake is a mushroom traditionally used for immune and metabolic support. The data we hold lists several conditions it's been studied for — hay fever, chemotherapy side effects, cancer, and chronic fatigue — but the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say it works for any of them.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Not enough safety data exists on concentrated maitake supplements in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so they should be avoided during both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you personally. We have no safety information on file for the other two ingredients.
What side effects might I experience?
Maitake is generally well tolerated. Most side effects are gastrointestinal — diarrhea, stomach pain, or nausea — reported by a small number of trial participants. One person reported a rash and itching after two doses, though it went away on its own.
Is maitake safe to take long term?
Maitake mushroom is generally well tolerated as food, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been fully studied. If you're considering ongoing use, talk with your pharmacist about what the research shows and what's right for you.
What are Rei-Gen and Shi-Gen?
We don't have data on file for these two ingredients — we can't tell you what they are or whether they interact with medications. Your pharmacist or the manufacturer may be able to provide more information about them.
