Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Super Royal Agaricus contains 2 active ingredients: vitamin C and agaricus mushroom (fruiting body extract blend). Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant in your body.

Agaricus blazei Murill is a medicinal mushroom that's been used traditionally in supplements, though its effects in people aren't yet well established. The product also contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, dicalcium phosphate, calcium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and glycerin — which are standard tablet binders and fillers.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports healthy immune and kidney function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Atopic disease, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Exercise-induced respiratory infections, HIV/AIDS, Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin C is rated "Possibly Effective" for Exercise-induced respiratory infections (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin C is rated "Likely Ineffective" for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
  • Also on file: Vitamin C is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Atopic disease, HIV/AIDS, Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and more.

Vitamin C is effective for preventing and treating vitamin C deficiency. It's possibly effective for anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), cataracts, and exercise-induced respiratory infections — meaning the evidence supports it but isn't definitive yet.

For agaricus mushroom, the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it for any of the conditions studied so far: allergic rhinitis (hay fever), osteoporosis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chemotherapy side effects, and Crohn disease. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we don't have enough reliable data yet to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin C Agaricus 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 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.

Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at normal dietary and supplement doses. At very high doses — above 2 grams daily — it can cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, and headache.

Rare serious effects from very high doses include kidney stones (especially in people prone to them) and, in extreme cases, kidney damage. Pregnancy and lactation safety is mixed: normal amounts from food and prenatal vitamins are fine, but avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises it.

Agaricus mushroom is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety as a supplement isn't well established. Common side effects are abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea.

Rare serious effects include allergic reactions, liver damage, and a lung condition called interstitial lung disease — though these are uncommon. Agaricus mushroom is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data.

Vitamin C13 drug types · 207 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aluminum

Vitamin C can increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Research in animals and humans shows that vitamin C increases aluminum absorption, theoretically by chelating aluminum and keeping it in solution where it is available for absorption. In people with normal renal function, urinary excretion of aluminum will likely increase, making aluminum retention and toxicity unlikely. Patients with renal failure who take aluminum-containing compounds such as phosphate binders should avoid vitamin C supplements in doses above the recommended dietary allowances.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antitumor Antibiotics

Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs which generate free radicals, such as doxorubicin. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Vitamin C might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% occur under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. Increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when patients who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements. Monitor these patients for estrogen-related side effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Fluphenazine (Prolixin)

Theoretically, vitamin C might decrease levels of fluphenazine.
In one patient there was a clinically significant decrease in fluphenazine levels when vitamin C (500 mg twice daily) was started. The mechanism is not known, and there is no further data to confirm this interaction.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Indinavir (Crixivan)

Vitamin C can modestly reduce indinavir levels.
One pharmacokinetic study shows that taking vitamin C 1 gram orally once daily along with indinavir 800 mg orally three times daily reduces the area under the concentration-time curve of indinavir by 14%. The mechanism of this interaction is unknown, but it is unlikely to be clinically significant in most patients. The effect of higher doses of vitamin C on indinavir levels is unknown.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Vitamin C can increase levothyroxine absorption.
Two clinical studies in adults with poorly controlled hypothyroidism show that swallowing levothyroxine with a glass of water containing vitamin C 500-1000 mg in solution reduces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and increases thyroxine (T4) levels when compared with taking levothyroxine alone. This suggests that vitamin C increases the oral absorption of levothyroxine, possibly due to a reduction in pH.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

High-dose vitamin C might reduce the levels and effectiveness of warfarin.
Vitamin C in high doses may cause diarrhea and possibly reduce warfarin absorption. There are reports of two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C and had a reduction in prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily can also reduce warfarin absorption. In many cases, this does not seem to be clinically significant. However, a case of warfarin resistance has been reported for a patient who took vitamin C 500 mg twice daily. Cessation of vitamin C supplementation resulted in a rapid increase in international normalized ratio (INR). Tell patients taking warfarin to avoid taking vitamin C in excessively high doses (greater than 10 grams daily). Lower doses may be safe, but the anticoagulation activity of warfarin should be monitored. Patients who are stabilized on warfarin while taking vitamin C should avoid adjusting vitamin C dosage to prevent the possibility of warfarin resistance.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)

High-dose vitamin C might slightly prolong the clearance of acetaminophen.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking high-dose vitamin C (3 grams) 1.5 hours after taking acetaminophen 1 gram slightly increases the apparent half-life of acetaminophen from around 2.3 hours to 3.1 hours. Ascorbic acid competitively inhibits sulfate conjugation of acetaminophen. However, to compensate, elimination of acetaminophen glucuronide and unconjugated acetaminophen increases. This effect is not likely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Aspirin

Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase aspirin levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction is not clinically significant.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase choline magnesium trisalicylate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Niacin

Vitamin C might decrease the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises HDL cholesterol levels in patients with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50% in patients with coronary disease. It is not known whether this adverse effect is due to a single antioxidant such as vitamin C, or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase salsalate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams/day vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking agaricus mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In one clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are stabilized on conventional oral hypoglycemic agents, 3 of 29 patients taking an agaricus mushroom extract 500 mg three times daily for 12 weeks reported hypoglycemia, compared to one of 29 patients in the placebo group.

Super Royal Agaricus by Mushroom Wisdom: Common Questions

Does Super Royal Agaricus by Mushroom Wisdom interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Royal Agaricus has a known interaction with 293 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Super Royal Agaricus contains 2 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 this if I'm on birth control?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. The vitamin C in this product can raise your estrogen levels, which increases the risk of blood clots and stroke. Your pharmacist can help you figure out if it's safe for you or suggest timing adjustments.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant?
Vitamin C at normal amounts is safe in pregnancy, but this product has high-dose vitamin C, and there's mixed safety data for high doses. Agaricus mushroom isn't recommended during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety information. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does agaricus mushroom actually work for anything?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say. It's been studied for conditions like hay fever, osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease, but the evidence is insufficient to rate it. It's generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term supplement safety isn't established.
What are the side effects of vitamin C at the doses in this product?
At high doses, vitamin C can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn. Kidney stones have been reported in people prone to them. Rare serious effects include kidney damage. Most side effects are more likely above 2 grams daily.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Check with your pharmacist first. Agaricus mushroom theoretically increases the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes drugs, and a small number of trial participants did report low blood sugar. Your pharmacist can advise whether it's safe for you.
Why are there so many inactive ingredients?
Those are standard tablet binders and fillers — they help hold the tablet together and make it easier to swallow. They're not part of the active formula, just what makes the product into a pill.
