HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Power Mushrooms by Health Concerns

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.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Herbal Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (650 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Power Mushrooms contains four active ingredients: a proprietary herbal blend, reishi fruiting body extract, maitake fruiting body extract, and poria sclerotium extract. The maitake and poria are concentrated extracts from the fruiting bodies of the mushrooms themselves.

The product also contains two inactive ingredients — hypromellose (a capsule material) and rice bran — as excipients. All four active ingredients are from medicinal mushroom sources, traditional in Chinese herbalism.

Beyond the blend's listed components, we don't have specifics on what else is included or its concentration.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that any of these ingredients work for their intended purpose. Maitake mushroom has been studied for hay fever, chemotherapy-related anemia, laryngeal cancer, diarrhea, and chronic fatigue syndrome, but the data isn't strong enough to rate it.

Poria mushroom has been studied for similar conditions — cancer, chronic fatigue, dementia, diabetes, and diabetic kidney disease — again without reliable evidence to support it. We have no effectiveness data on file for reishi or tremella fruiting body extracts.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Reishi Mushroom Maitake Mushroom Poria 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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Maitake and poria mushroom extracts are both generally well tolerated as whole foods, though supplement safety hasn't been fully studied for either. Maitake's most common side effects are gastrointestinal: in clinical trials, a small number of participants reported diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain.

One person had a rash and itching after two doses, though it cleared on its own. Poria is rarely associated with allergic reactions like allergic rhinitis or allergic asthma.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: the safety data for maitake and poria concentrated supplements during pregnancy and lactation is not enough to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for reishi or tremella.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Poria Mushroom, Maitake Mushroom, Reishi Mushroom.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 771 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 pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner — maitake mushroom can increase their effects and raise bleeding risk. Also flag blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs (including insulin), sedatives, and any drugs for urinary or neurological conditions.

These are the main medication types we have documented interactions for.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Power Mushrooms is a medicinal mushroom blend that carries documented moderate interactions with blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, and diabetes medications — mainly through its maitake and poria components. If you take warfarin, a blood pressure medication, insulin, or any diabetes drug, this product needs a conversation with your pharmacist first.

The evidence for what these mushrooms actually do isn't established in the data we hold.

Poria Sclerotium Extract3 drug types · 417 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, poria mushroom might decrease the clinical effects of anticholinergic drugs.
In animal research, poria mushroom essential oil reduces acetylcholinesterase activity. This interaction has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, poria mushroom might have additive effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
In animal research, poria mushroom essential oil reduces acetylcholinesterase activity. This interaction has not been shown in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, taking poria mushroom extract may enhance the therapeutic and adverse effects of sedatives.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Poria Sclerotium Extract full monograph & interactions

Reishi Fruiting Body 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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Reishi Fruiting Body Extract full monograph & interactions

Maitake fruiting body extract3 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.

Power Mushrooms by Health Concerns: Common Questions

Does Power Mushrooms by Health Concerns interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Power Mushrooms has a known interaction with 771 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Power Mushrooms contains 4 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 are these mushroom extracts supposed to do?
The product contains extracts from reishi, maitake, poria, and tremella mushrooms, all traditional in Chinese herbalism. We don't have effectiveness data on file for these specific ingredients and uses, so I can't tell you what to expect.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Maitake mushroom in this product has a documented moderate interaction with warfarin — it may increase warfarin's effect and raise your bleeding risk. One case report showed a patient's warfarin levels jumped dangerously high after taking maitake for just one week.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way for maitake or poria concentrated supplements in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. We have no pregnancy data on file for the reishi or tremella either.
What side effects should I watch for?
Maitake mushroom's most common side effects are stomach-related: diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain showed up in a small number of trial participants. Poria is generally well tolerated, though rare allergic reactions like allergic rhinitis or asthma have been reported.
Why can't you check all the ingredients?
We hold no interaction data for reishi fruiting body extract or tremella fruiting body extract, so we can't tell you whether they interact with your medications. That doesn't mean they're safe — we just don't have the information yet.
