Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 11 of its 11 active ingredients.
  • “Reishi Mushroom” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Lion's Mane Mushroom” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Shiitake Mushroom” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Nutriana Mushroom Gummies contain 11 active ingredients: fruiting body extracts from Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Maitake, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, White Button, and Black Fungus mushrooms, plus whole mushroom extracts from Reishi, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Chaga, and Royal Sun mushrooms. Each mushroom brings different compounds — polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and other bioactive molecules — traditionally used to support overall wellness.

The gummies also contain sodium and inactive ingredients like pectin, glucose, sugar, citric acid, and natural raspberry flavor to make them taste good.

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: Immune booster and mental focus support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cognitive function, Fatigue, Memory, Energy, Concentration.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maitake Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Maitake Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chemotherapy-related fatigue.
  • Also on file: Cordyceps is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fatigue.

The evidence for these mushrooms is limited. For Lion's Mane, there is insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, athletic performance, cancer, and cognitive function or cognitive impairment.

Reishi is possibly ineffective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and has insufficient evidence for altitude sickness, Alzheimer's disease, and athletic performance. Turkey Tail is possibly effective for cancer support, but has insufficient evidence for chronic fatigue syndrome, fungal skin infections, and upper respiratory infections.

For Shiitake, Maitake, Chaga, and Cordyceps, the evidence we hold is generally insufficient to rate them for their claimed uses. None of the ingredients in this product have strong, established evidence for the conditions they're typically marketed for.

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 8 of the 8 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 7 of 8.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 8 of 8.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lion's Mane, Maitake, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail mushrooms are generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects across these ingredients are gastrointestinal — nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, and abdominal pain.

Reishi can also cause dizziness, dry mouth, itching, and rash. Shiitake, when eaten as food, is generally well tolerated, but raw shiitake can cause a skin rash called shiitake dermatitis.

Cordyceps and Turkey Tail may rarely cause diarrhea or constipation. Chaga contains high oxalate and has been linked in rare cases to kidney failure and acute kidney damage.

Sodium at high levels is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and kidney disease. The safety data advises against these mushroom supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough data on concentrated supplement doses to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Why this rating?
  • 8 of the 8 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Maitake Mushroom, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail Mushroom, Shiitake Mushroom, Reishi Mushroom, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 721 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 with your pharmacist before taking this product if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk of bleeding), diabetes medications (Moderate risk of low blood sugar), blood pressure medications (Moderate risk of low blood pressure), immune-suppressing drugs (Moderate interference), lithium (Moderate risk of toxicity from sodium), steroid medications (Moderate risk of high sodium), cyclophosphamide or tamoxifen for cancer (Moderate interaction with Turkey Tail), HIV medication didanosine (Moderate risk of high sodium), water-balance medication tolvaptan (Moderate risk of high sodium), or testosterone (Minor risk with Cordyceps).

For each ingredient in Mushroom Gummies 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.

Reishi Mushroom3 drug types · 375 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, high doses of reishi mushroom might increase the risk of bleeding.
A dose of 1.5 grams daily of reishi mushroom does not seem to decrease platelet aggregation, but a higher dose of 3 grams daily does.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, reishi mushroom might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that reishi mushroom decreases blood sugar. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes, taking reishi mushroom does not reduce fasting glucose levels, and its effects on glycated hemoglobin are inconsistent.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of reishi mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Reishi mushroom has shown hypotensive activity in animal research. Clinical evidence suggests that reishi mushroom reduces blood pressure in some, but not all, patients with hypertension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Reishi Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Lion's Mane Mushroom3 drug types · 327 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, lion's mane mushroom may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research suggests that lion's mane mushroom extracts can inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, lion's mane mushroom may have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that an aqueous extract of lion's mane mushroom can reduce serum glucose and increase serum insulin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of lion's mane mushroom might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In animal and in vitro research, lion's mane mushroom polysaccharides stimulate the immune system.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lion's Mane Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Chaga Mushroom3 drug types · 327 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chaga may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that chaga extract can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking chaga with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that chaga might decrease blood glucose levels and increase insulin levels. This has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, chaga might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro research suggests that certain constituents of chaga stimulate immune function. This has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chaga Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Shiitake Mushroom2 drug types · 312 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, shiitake mushroom might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro studies suggest that the shiitake mushroom extract AHCC might induce the CYP2D6 enzyme. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, taking shiitake mushroom might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro evidence suggests that shiitake mushroom extracts stimulate immune function.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Shiitake Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Maitake Mushroom3 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
Maitake Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Cordyceps Mushroom3 drug types · 249 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cordyceps may increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that cordyceps extract inhibits platelet aggregation and function. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that cordyceps stimulates the immune system. However, limited clinical research suggests that taking cordyceps may lower the necessary therapeutic dose of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, which suggests that cordyceps may have an immunosuppressive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Testosterone

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps and testosterone might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that cordyceps can increase testosterone levels. The clinical significance of this finding is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cordyceps Mushroom full monograph & interactions

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Sodium full monograph & interactions

Turkey Tail Mushroom4 drug types · 187 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking turkey tail mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that turkey tail mushroom and a polysaccharide component can have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cyclophosphamide

Theoretically, the polysaccharide peptide (PSP) component of turkey tail mushroom might increase exposure to cyclophosphamide.
Some animal research shows that the PSP component of turkey tail mushroom can increase the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of cyclophosphamide by 44% to 50% and the half-life by 34% to 43%. This interaction could potentially increase the effects and adverse effects of cyclophosphamide. However, it is not known whether PSP affects the levels of the active metabolites of cyclophosphamide that are responsible for its clinical activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)

Theoretically, the polysaccharide peptide (PSP) component of turkey tail mushroom might interfere with the absorption of tamoxifen.
Animal research suggests that PSP increases the time to reach maximum concentration of a single dose of tamoxifen by about 9.5 hours, or 228%. When repeated doses of tamoxifen were given, the time to reach maximum concentration was increased by about 5.6 hours, or 93%. However, PSP did not affect the maximum concentration or the area under the curve of tamoxifen.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, the polysaccharide peptide (PSP) component of turkey tail mushroom might inhibit CYP2C9.
Laboratory research suggests that the PSP component of turkey tail mushroom dose-dependently inhibits CYP2C9. Theoretically, taking PSP with drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 might increase drug levels and the risk of adverse effects. However, this has not been reported in humans.

Mushroom Gummies by Nutriana: Common Questions

Does Mushroom Gummies by Nutriana interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mushroom Gummies has a known interaction with 721 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mushroom Gummies contains 11 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 these gummies if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Several mushrooms in this product — Lion's Mane, Maitake, Reishi, Chaga, and Cordyceps — may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners. There's even a case report of someone on warfarin who had an elevated blood-thinning effect after taking Maitake. Your pharmacist can tell you if it's safe for you.
Will these gummies help with my memory or focus?
The evidence for that isn't strong. Lion's Mane is often marketed for brain health, but we only hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for Alzheimer's disease, cognitive function, or cognitive impairment. The same goes for most of the other mushrooms in this blend — there just isn't enough established proof yet.
Are there any common side effects I should know about?
Yes. The most common are gastrointestinal — nausea, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, and abdominal pain. Reishi may also cause dizziness, dry mouth, or a rash. Most people tolerate these gummies well short-term, but side effects are possible.
Is it safe to take these while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against using these mushroom supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough data on concentrated supplement doses to know if they're safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
I have diabetes. Can I take these with my diabetes medication?
Check with your pharmacist first. Several mushrooms here — Lion's Mane, Maitake, Chaga, and Turkey Tail — may lower blood sugar, so taking them with diabetes medication could increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
What's the sodium content, and should I worry about it?
The product facts don't specify how much sodium is in each gummy, so you'd need to check the label or contact the manufacturer. But yes, if you take blood pressure medication, lithium, or steroid medication, the sodium in these gummies could be a concern. Ask your pharmacist about the dose.
