HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Astragalus Root Powder by Micro Ingredients

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 Aug 27, 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.

This product contains one active ingredient: organic astragalus root powder. Astragalus is a traditional botanical used across multiple health areas.

The powder contains no other active ingredients, and has no inactive fillers or binders added.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 Astragalus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Astragalus'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.

The evidence for astragalus isn't well established in the data we hold. Studies we reviewed rated its effectiveness insufficient for hay fever (allergic rhinitis), amenorrhea, aplastic anemia, angina, asthma, and beta-thalassemia.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work for these or other conditions—it means the human research either isn't strong enough yet or we don't have it on file. If you're considering astragalus for a specific health goal, check with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence shows for your situation.

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 in healthy adults, but quality human safety data is limited, so long-term use isn't well studied. The safety data advises against astragalus during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information to know either way.

Reported side effects are uncommon and include dizziness and rash in some studies, though these may not have been caused by astragalus itself. Intravenous administration (which this powder is not) has caused temporary palpitations and dizziness in patients with heart failure, but that's not relevant to the oral powder form.

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 doctor or pharmacist if you use immunosuppressants (like those after transplant), cyclophosphamide (a chemo drug), lithium (for mood disorders), or antidiabetes drugs—these are all documented Moderate-severity concerns. No interactions are documented for other drug types in our data.

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.

Astragalus powder is a single-ingredient supplement that's generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but it can interact with immunosuppressants, lithium, cyclophosphamide, and blood-sugar-lowering drugs. If you take any medications—especially those types—talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid it because the safety data isn't there yet.

organic Astragalus root powder4 drug types · 208 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking astragalus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research in humans shows that astragalus might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, taking astragalus, especially in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Cyclophosphamide

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with cyclophosphamide therapy.
Evidence regarding the effect of astragalus on immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide is conflicting. Some animal research suggests that astragalus reverses cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. However, other animal research shows no effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, astragalus might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that astragalus has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to this diuretic effect, astragalus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Organic Astragalus Root Powder by Micro Ingredients: Common Questions

Does Organic Astragalus Root Powder by Micro Ingredients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Astragalus Root Powder has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Astragalus Root Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Is astragalus powder safe to take while I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data we have advises against astragalus during pregnancy because there isn't enough reliable information about how it affects pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough reliable safety data to know whether astragalus passes into breast milk or could affect your baby. It's best avoided while breastfeeding—check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the common side effects?
Astragalus is generally well tolerated in the short term. Dizziness and rash have been reported in some studies, but these effects may not have been caused by astragalus itself. Quality safety data is limited, especially for long-term use.
Does astragalus actually work for hay fever, asthma, or other conditions?
The evidence we hold rates astragalus as insufficient to rate for hay fever, asthma, amenorrhea, aplastic anemia, angina, and beta-thalassemia. That means the human research isn't strong enough yet or we don't have enough data on file—not that it definitely doesn't work.
Can I take this powder long-term?
We don't have enough safety data to know how safe astragalus is for long-term use. It's generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're thinking about taking it regularly.
