HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Shiitake by Mushroom Wisdom
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
Full disclosure
Super Shiitake contains 2 active ingredients. Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin that supports immune function and helps your body absorb iron; it's also used to prevent or treat vitamin C deficiency.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fruiting body extract blend is made from shiitake mushrooms, which contain compounds that may support immune and digestive health. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and glycerin—which are fillers, binders, and capsule materials that help form and stabilize the pill.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For vitamin C, there is solid evidence it's effective for preventing and treating vitamin C deficiency. The evidence suggests it may be possibly effective for anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation, cataracts, and reducing respiratory infections triggered by exercise.
For shiitake mushroom, the evidence is much less established. Our data shows it's possibly ineffective for dental plaque, and for other uses—including chemotherapy-induced anemia, atherosclerosis, breast cancer, and chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting—there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at normal dietary and supplement doses. At very high doses (above 2 grams daily), oral vitamin C can cause abdominal cramps, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and headache.
Kidney stones have been reported in people prone to them. Rare serious effects include caroti conditions and, at very high intravenous doses, kidney damage.
Shiitake mushroom is generally well tolerated when cooked and eaten as food. As a concentrated supplement, safety data is limited and caution is advised.
The most common side effects are abdominal discomfort, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Raw shiitake can cause shiitake dermatitis (a distinctive skin eruption), and people who handle shiitake extensively may develop contact dermatitis or breathing problems from exposure to mushroom spores.
For pregnancy and lactation: vitamin C in normal prenatal amounts is likely safe, but high-dose vitamin C supplements are possibly unsafe in pregnancy—talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Data on shiitake in pregnancy and lactation is not on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Super Shiitake, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any chemotherapy drugs (alkylating agents or antitumor antibiotics), estrogens or birth control pills, blood thinners like warfarin, thyroid medication (levothyroxine), the antipsychotic fluphenazine, the HIV drug indinavir, immunosuppressants, or any medications that are broken down by your liver's CYP2D6 enzyme. The most serious concerns are with chemotherapy—vitamin C's antioxidant effects might reduce how well these drugs work.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Super Shiitake may appeal to you if you're looking to support immune health with a mushroom and vitamin C blend, and if you're not on any medications that interact with these ingredients. If you take birth control, hormone replacement therapy, blood thinners, thyroid medication, chemotherapy, or drugs that suppress your immune system, you'll want to check your exact medications first.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product to make sure it won't interfere with your current prescriptions.

Super Shiitake by Mushroom Wisdom Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Super Shiitake by Mushroom Wisdom contains vitamin C and shiitake mushroom extract, both of which interact with medications.
The most serious documented interaction is between vitamin C and chemotherapy drugs—specifically, the antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce how well alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics work against cancer. This is a Moderate-severity concern.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin C also interacts with several other drug types at Moderate severity. It may increase blood levels of estrogens (including birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy), potentially by up to 55% in some cases.
High-dose vitamin C can reduce how well warfarin (a blood thinner) works and may lower levels of the antipsychotic fluphenazine. It can also increase how much aluminum your body absorbs from aluminum-containing compounds, increase levothyroxine absorption (affecting thyroid dosing), and modestly reduce levels of the HIV medication indinavir.
Shiitake mushroom extract carries Moderate interactions with immunosuppressants—theoretically, it might decrease how well these drugs work by stimulating your immune system. It may also affect how your body processes certain medications broken down by the CYP2D6 enzyme, though this has not been confirmed in humans.
Altogether, these interactions span 472 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to see if any of your prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs are affected before you start.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fruiting body extract blend
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, shiitake mushroom might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro studies suggest that the shiitake mushroom extract AHCC might induce the CYP2D6 enzyme. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, taking shiitake mushroom might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro evidence suggests that shiitake mushroom extracts stimulate immune function.
Vitamin C
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
