HelloPharmacist Scorecard of SuperImmune+ by Quantum Health
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
SuperImmune+ contains three active ingredients. L-lysine is an amino acid studied for cold sore prevention.
Olive leaf extract is derived from the olive plant. Astragalus root extract comes from an herb used in traditional medicine, thought to support immune function.
The product also contains inactive ingredients—hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and water—that serve as capsule material and binders.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for this product's ingredients is limited. L-lysine is possibly effective for cold sores, but the data for the other conditions listed—child growth, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers—is insufficient to rate.
Olive leaf extract and astragalus root extract both lack reliable evidence for any of their claimed uses in our data, including support for allergies, infections, arthritis, or bone health. None of these ingredients are established to work for immune support specifically.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
L-lysine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, though high amounts may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or indigestion. Astragalus is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but quality safety data is limited; rarely, it has been associated with dizziness or palpitations.
Olive leaf extract appears well tolerated, with occasional headache or stomach discomfort reported. One patient reported acne after use, and olive tree pollen can trigger seasonal allergies in sensitive people.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Safety data for L-lysine and astragalus supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well studied. The facts advise against astragalus in both; for L-lysine and olive leaf extract, there isn't enough information to know either way.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start SuperImmune+, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take immunosuppressant drugs, cyclophosphamide, lithium, antidiabetes medications, or 5-HT4 agonists. Astragalus may interfere with immunosuppressants and cyclophosphamide, increase lithium levels, or raise your risk of low blood sugar; L-lysine may reduce the effectiveness of 5-HT4 agonists.
These are Moderate or Minor interactions, but they're real and need a conversation with your own healthcare provider.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
SuperImmune+ may appeal to anyone looking for immune or cold-sore support, but the evidence for these uses is not established or is insufficient in our data. If you take immunosuppressants, lithium, diabetes medications, or 5-HT4 agonists, you'll need to check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—the interactions are real and could affect how your drugs work.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding also warrant a conversation with your healthcare provider.

SuperImmune+ by Quantum Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
SuperImmune+ by Quantum Health has documented interactions through two of its three ingredients: L-lysine and astragalus root extract.
The most serious concern is astragalus, which carries Moderate-severity interactions with four medication types. L-lysine carries one Minor interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Astragalus may interfere with immunosuppressant drugs (including cyclophosphamide) by stimulating immune function and potentially reducing their effectiveness. It may also increase lithium levels and side effects due to diuretic properties, raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medications, and theoretically interfere with how cyclophosphamide works, though animal evidence on that last point is mixed.
L-lysine may reduce the effects of 5-HT4 agonists—medications sometimes used for gastrointestinal motility. We could not check olive leaf extract for interactions.
Altogether, these interactions span 209 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to see if any of yours are affected before you start.

Astragalus Root Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking astragalus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research in humans shows that astragalus might have hypoglycemic effects. Theoretically, taking astragalus, especially in combination with other hypoglycemic agents, might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Cyclophosphamide
Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with cyclophosphamide therapy.
Evidence regarding the effect of astragalus on immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide is conflicting. Some animal research suggests that astragalus reverses cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression. However, other animal research shows no effect.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, astragalus might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Astragalus seems to stimulate immune function. Theoretically, taking astragalus might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
Lithium
Theoretically, astragalus might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that astragalus has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to this diuretic effect, astragalus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
L-Lysine
5-Ht4 Agonists
Theoretically, lysine may reduce the effects of 5-HT4 agonists.
Animal research suggests that L-lysine is a partial serotonin receptor 4 (5-HT4) antagonist and inhibits diarrhea induced by the 5-HT4 agonist, 5-hydroxytryptophane.
