HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Reishi+ by Lifecykel

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

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 Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,012 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Reishi+ has 4 active ingredients. Two are forms of reishi mushroom — a fruiting body extract and a mycelia extract — both derived from the reishi fungus.

The third is kakadu plum, a fruit concentrated into this liquid formula. The product also contains water, filtered water, alcohol, and natural flavors as inactive ingredients.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Time to relax and well-being.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Stress, Psychological well-being, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia, Sleep quality — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Reishi Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Reishi Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Stress, Psychological well-being.

The evidence for reishi mushroom in this product is thin. For the conditions studied, reishi has shown possibly ineffective results for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and the data we hold is insufficient to rate its use for altitude sickness, Alzheimer disease, or athletic performance.

Kakadu plum shows possibly effective evidence for constipation, but evidence for other uses — bone health, cholesterol, and liver health — is insufficient to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Reishi Mushroom Plum

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both reishi extracts are generally well tolerated in the short term, though long-term safety hasn't been well studied. Common side effects include dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, and stomach upset.

Some people have reported sore throat, runny nose, insomnia, or headache. Kakadu plum is generally well tolerated as food, though concentrated supplement forms lack safety data; the main side effect is gastrointestinal upset (gas and diarrhea).

Rare but serious effects from dried plums or plum pits include bowel obstruction. During pregnancy, the safety data advises against using reishi.

For kakadu plum in concentrated supplement form, there isn't enough data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant. The same applies while breastfeeding — reishi is best avoided, and there's insufficient data for kakadu plum in supplement form.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Reishi Mushroom Plum

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Reishi Mushroom, Plum.
  • 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.

Check your blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), blood thinners (anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs), and diabetes medications before taking this product — all three drug types have documented Moderate-severity interactions with the reishi and plum in Reishi+. Blood pressure and blood-thinning effects are the top concerns.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Reishi+ may help with constipation (from the kakadu plum), but evidence for other uses is limited or lacking. If you take blood pressure meds, blood thinners, or diabetes medications, check your exact drugs with our tool before starting — the interactions here are real and worth a conversation with your pharmacist.

Avoid it in pregnancy, and watch for dizziness and stomach upset.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Reishi+ 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 Fruiting Body Extract 3 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

Kakadu Plum1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, plum juice might have antiplatelet effects.
Consuming plum juice while taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. In healthy volunteers, drinking plum juice 200 mL daily for 28 days prolonged clotting time and inhibited platelet aggregation.

Reishi+ by Lifecykel: Common Questions

Does Reishi+ by Lifecykel interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Reishi+ 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?
Reishi+ 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.
Can I take Reishi+ if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against reishi during pregnancy. For kakadu plum in concentrated supplement form, there isn't enough data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant — they can help you decide what's right for you.
What side effects might I notice?
Most commonly, dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, or stomach upset. A few people report sore throat, runny nose, insomnia, or headache. Kakadu plum may cause gas or diarrhea. Stop and call your pharmacist if side effects bother you or don't fade.
Does reishi really work for anything?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that reishi is effective for high cholesterol, and there isn't enough reliable data to rate it for altitude sickness, Alzheimer disease, or athletic performance. The kakadu plum in this product does show possibly effective evidence for constipation, though.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Reishi is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking of taking it for months or longer, talk with your pharmacist first about what we know and don't know.
What's actually in this liquid?
Two forms of reishi mushroom — fruiting body and mycelia extracts — plus kakadu plum. The liquid also contains filtered water and alcohol, along with natural flavors to taste it.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
Not enough safety data exists for either reishi or kakadu plum in concentrated supplement form during breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing — they can give you personalized advice.
