Can I take Maitake and Royal sun together?

Drug interaction guide

Both Maitake (Grifola frondosa) and Royal Sun (Agaricus blazei) mushrooms can lower blood sugar levels and thin the blood. Taking them together may increase the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low (hypoglycaemia) or increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.

Why this happens

These mushrooms have 'additive' effects. This means they work in similar ways to lower glucose and inhibit blood platelets from sticking together. When combined, their individual effects are added together, making the overall impact on your body stronger.

What you should do

If you choose to take both, monitor your blood sugar levels closely, especially if you have diabetes. Watch for signs of low blood sugar, such as feeling shaky, sweaty, or dizzy. You should also be careful if you are taking blood-thinning medications or have an upcoming surgery. It is best to discuss the use of multiple medicinal mushrooms with your doctor or a pharmacist.
