HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 1-Andro by AMS Advanced Muscle Science
Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.
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
The stated purpose hasn't been mapped to our evidence data yet.
Why this rating?
- We haven't mapped this product's purpose to our evidence data yet — it'll be graded on the next content refresh.
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 1 of its 6 active ingredients.
- “1-Andro RDe Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
- “Effervescent Absorption Matrix” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (45 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.
Why this rating?
- 3 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Potassium, Sodium Bicarbonate, 1-androsterone.
- The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
- For scale: 306 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.
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 3 of the 4 matched ingredients.
- Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 4.
- General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
- Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

For each ingredient in 1-Andro 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.
Sodium Bicarbonate
Aminoglycoside Antibiotics
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk for hypokalemia in patients receiving aminoglycosides.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, when administered intravenously, the most common complication of sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Nephrotoxicity caused by aminoglycosides may lead to increased urinary losses of various electrolytes, including potassium.
Amphotericin-B (Abelcet, Others)
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk for hypokalemia in patients receiving amphotericin B.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, when administered intravenously, the most common complication of sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Amphotericin B increases urinary potassium losses due to toxic effects on renal tubular epithelium. Hypokalemia can occur in up to 50% of patients.
Aspirin
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may reduce the levels and clinical effects of aspirin.
In humans, oral or intravenous administration of sodium bicarbonate increases salicylate elimination. Although the exact mechanism of this effect is not clear, some researchers hypothesize that sodium bicarbonate increases urinary pH, which increases salicylate ionization and subsequent excretion by the kidneys. In patients with urine pH of about 5.5, renal clearance of salicylate is approximately 55 mL/min. When urine pH is increased with oral sodium bicarbonate to about 7.5, renal clearance of salicylate increases to approximately 100 mL/min. Similarly, urine alkalinization with sodium bicarbonate increases the mean total body clearance of salicylate by approximately 60% compared with urine acidification.
Beta-Adrenergic Agonists
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk for hypokalemia in patients taking beta-adrenergic agonists.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common adverse effect of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Oral, parenteral, or inhaled beta-adrenergic agonists can reduce serum potassium levels, especially during acute use of high doses.
Cefpodoxime Proxetil (Vantin)
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate might reduce the levels and clinical effects of cefpodoxime.
Cefpodoxime proxetil is an oral prodrug that is de-esterified in the intestine to the active drug cefpodoxime. Drugs or supplements that increase gastric pH can inhibit the activation of cefpodoxime proxetil and reduce the peak plasma concentrations of cefpodoxime. In humans, taking sodium bicarbonate 12.6 grams orally along with cefpodoxime proxetil 200 mg reduces peak plasma concentrations and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of cefpodoxime by 35% to 50%.
Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate might reduce the levels and clinical effects of chlorpropamide.
The elimination of chlorpropamide by the kidneys depends strongly on urine pH. At a pH of 5, the renal clearance of chlorpropamide ranges from 0.5 to 3 mL/hr. At a pH of 8, renal clearance of chlorpropamide ranges from 500 to 1000 mL/hr. When taken in combination with oral sodium bicarbonate, the elimination half-life of chlorpropamide is shortened from 49.7 to 12.8 hours and urinary excretion of chlorpropamide is increased four-fold.
Cisplatin (Platinol-Aq)
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients receiving cisplatin.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Cisplatin can cause renal tubular damage, with increased losses of electrolytes including potassium.
Corticosteroids
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking corticosteroids.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common intravenous complication of sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) can also cause hypokalemia by causing sodium retention, resulting in compensatory renal potassium excretion. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Loop Diuretics
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking loop diuretics.
Loop diuretics increase urinary potassium excretion. Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia.
Methylxanthines
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking methylxanthines.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Theophylline and related drugs can reduce serum potassium levels, possibly by increasing intracellular uptake of potassium. Hypokalemia is most likely to occur after acute overdose of these drugs. However, reduced potassium levels can occur with therapeutic doses, and the incidence and degree of hypokalemia increases with increasing serum theophylline levels.
Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase levels and adverse effects of pseudoephedrine.
In humans, intravenous or oral administration of sodium bicarbonate can increase urinary pH. Clinical evidence shows that urine alkalinization increases the serum elimination half-life of pseudoephedrine by approximately 10-fold. In one patient with persistently alkaline urine, treatment with pseudoephedrine resulted in hallucinations and personality changes.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related adverse effects.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium bicarbonate, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Stimulant Laxatives
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking stimulant laxatives.
Long-term use of stimulant laxatives, or acute use of high doses (e.g., in bowel-cleansing regimens), can result in potassium loss and hypokalemia. Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia.
Thiazide Diuretics
Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking thiazide diuretics.
Thiazide diuretics increase urinary potassium excretion. Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia.
Potassium Bicarbonate
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)
Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
1-Androstene-3Beta-OI,17-One
Testosterone
Theoretically, taking 1-androsterone with testosterone might increase the risk for additive adverse effects such as mood disturbances and cardiovascular, kidney, or liver problems.
1-Androsterone is converted to 1-testosterone and other androgens upon ingestion.
