HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 100% Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost Organic

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 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: Lion's Mane Mushroom, a fungal extract used traditionally to support brain health. There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 Lion's Mane Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Memory and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Alzheimer disease, Dementia, Parkinson disease — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lion's Mane Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Alzheimer disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lion's Mane Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Dementia, Memory, and more.

The evidence we hold does not establish that Lion's Mane is effective for Alzheimer disease, anxiety, athletic performance, cancer, cognitive function, or cognitive impairment — all six uses show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the data on file isn't strong enough yet to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lion's Mane Mushroom

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 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.

Lion's Mane is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects reported are gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and skin rash.

However, long-term supplement safety hasn't been studied well, so we don't have a complete picture of extended use. There isn't enough safety data for pregnancy or breastfeeding — the facts advise against use in both cases.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lion's Mane Mushroom

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 — Lion's Mane Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 327 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 start, double-check if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — moderate risk of increased bleeding. Also verify any diabetes medications and immunosuppressants, which have moderate interactions documented.

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 some safety-information gaps remain.

Lion's Mane is a single-ingredient powder that's generally well tolerated for short-term use. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or immune-suppressing drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it unless your doctor says otherwise.

100% Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost Organic: Common Questions

Does 100% Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom 1 g Unflavored by Nutricost Organic interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 100% Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom 1 g Unflavored has a known interaction with 327 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
100% Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom 1 g Unflavored 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.
What exactly is Lion's Mane Mushroom?
It's an extract from the Lion's Mane fungus, traditionally used in supplements aimed at brain health and cognitive support.
Is this safe to take every day?
Lion's Mane is generally well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been studied thoroughly as a supplement, so we don't have solid data on daily use over months or years. Your pharmacist can help you decide if daily use makes sense for you.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common ones are stomach discomfort, nausea, and skin rash. Most people don't experience them, but if you do, stop and let your pharmacist know.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about what's safe for you.
Does this product actually work for memory or brain fog?
The evidence we have doesn't establish that it works for cognitive function, memory, or Alzheimer disease. That doesn't prove it doesn't; it just means we don't have reliable data yet to say it does.
Why does this interact with so many drugs?
The 322 figure includes all individual medications affected by Lion's Mane across three drug categories: blood thinners, diabetes drugs, and immune-suppressing drugs. Many medications fall into those broad groups, which is why the total is high.
