HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Red Reishi Mushroom 100:1 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 Sep 3, 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 Red Reishi Mushroom extract in a 100:1 concentration, meaning the extract is 100 times more concentrated than the raw mushroom. There are no 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 Reishi Mushroom's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports immune health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Influenza, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Bronchitis, Asthma, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Cancer-related fatigue — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Reishi Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bronchitis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Reishi Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Asthma, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Cancer-related fatigue, Influenza, and more.

The data we hold shows reishi mushroom rated as Possibly Ineffective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). For altitude sickness, Alzheimer disease, and athletic performance, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you weigh what we know against what you're hoping to achieve.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Reishi 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.

Reishi is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been studied thoroughly. The most common side effects are dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, and stomach upset.

Rarely, it can cause insomnia or headache. Some people are allergic to reishi spores and may experience sore throat or runny nose.

There isn't enough safety data to know whether reishi is okay during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the safety data advises against it in both cases, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Reishi 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 — Reishi Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 375 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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs) — higher doses of reishi may increase bleeding risk. Also flag any blood pressure medications or diabetes medications, since reishi may lower blood pressure and blood sugar.

Because dosage matters, make sure your prescriber knows how much you're planning to take.

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.

Reishi mushroom is generally well tolerated day-to-day, but it does interact with blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and diabetes medications — all at Moderate severity. If you take any of those, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product fits your situation.

organic Red Reishi Mushroom extract3 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.

Organic Red Reishi Mushroom 100:1 by Micro Ingredients: Common Questions

Does Organic Red Reishi Mushroom 100:1 by Micro Ingredients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Red Reishi Mushroom 100:1 has a known interaction with 375 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Red Reishi Mushroom 100:1 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on reishi during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so the safety data advises against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing — they can help you decide what's right for you.
What are the side effects?
Most common are dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, and stomach upset. Rarely, you might experience insomnia or headache. Some people are allergic to reishi spores and may get a sore throat or runny nose.
Does reishi actually work for anything?
The data we hold shows it's likely ineffective for high cholesterol. For altitude sickness, Alzheimer disease, and athletic performance, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say. If you're taking it for a specific reason, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the current evidence suggests.
How long is it safe to take?
Reishi is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been studied thoroughly. If you're thinking of taking it regularly for months or longer, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What does '100:1' mean?
It means the extract is 100 times more concentrated than the raw mushroom — so you're getting a potent dose in a smaller amount of powder.
