HelloPharmacist Scorecard of ABC Australian Raspberry Chews by Core Nutritionals

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Branched-Chain Amino Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This powder contains 6 active ingredients: three branched-chain amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine), plus L-Glutamine, Beta-Alanine, and Citrulline Malate. These are all amino acids — the building blocks your body uses to make and repair muscle, especially during and after exercise.

The product also contains inactive ingredients: natural and artificial flavors, citric acid, and sucralose for taste and texture.

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: Athletic performance and muscle recovery.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle breakdown, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Physical performance, Sarcopenia, Muscle strength — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Physical performance.
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.

The evidence here is mixed. L-Glutamine is rated effective for sickle cell disease, and possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, recovery after surgery, and critical illness from trauma.

Beta-Alanine is possibly effective for athletic performance and physical performance, but evidence is insufficient to rate it for cognitive decline, COPD, cognitive function, or menopausal symptoms. We don't have effectiveness ratings in our data for L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, or Citrulline Malate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Glutamine Beta-alanine

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.

L-Glutamine is generally well tolerated, though it can cause belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, headache, and gastrointestinal pain — especially at higher doses. People with kidney or liver disease should use it only under medical supervision.

It's rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but the safety data advises avoiding supplemental doses while breastfeeding unless your doctor recommends it. Beta-Alanine is generally well tolerated and commonly causes a harmless tingling or pins-and-needles sensation on the skin, usually starting on the scalp within 20 minutes and lasting about an hour.

Skin flushing can also occur. The safety data advises against beta-alanine during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know either way.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Glutamine Beta-alanine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Glutamine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: seizure medications.
  • For scale: 50 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.

If you take an anticonvulsant medication (a seizure drug), double-check with your pharmacist before using this product — L-Glutamine might theoretically interfere with how it works. For all other prescription medications, use the medication checker below to be sure.

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.

This product may be worth considering if you're looking for amino acid support for muscle recovery or athletic performance, especially if you have sickle cell disease or are recovering from surgery.

ABC Australian Raspberry Chews by Core Nutritionals: Common Questions

Does ABC Australian Raspberry Chews by Core Nutritionals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, ABC Australian Raspberry Chews has a known interaction with 50 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
ABC Australian Raspberry Chews contains 6 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.
What does L-Glutamine do?
L-Glutamine is an amino acid your body uses for muscle repair and recovery. It's rated effective for sickle cell disease and possibly effective for helping with muscle wasting in HIV/AIDS, recovery after surgery, and recovery from critical illness or trauma.
Will I get tingling or flushing from this product?
Beta-Alanine, one of the ingredients, commonly causes a harmless pins-and-needles sensation (paresthesia) on the skin and flushing. This usually starts on the scalp within 20 minutes, spreads across the body, and lasts about an hour. The intensity depends on the dose — lower doses cause it in fewer people and less noticeably.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
L-Glutamine is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but the data advises avoiding supplemental doses while breastfeeding unless your doctor recommends it. Beta-Alanine has insufficient safety information, so the data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What are the side effects?
L-Glutamine can cause belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, headache, and gastrointestinal pain — especially at high doses. Beta-Alanine commonly causes tingling and skin flushing. Both ingredients are generally well tolerated overall.
Does this work for building muscle?
The amino acids in this product support muscle repair and recovery. Beta-Alanine is possibly effective for athletic performance and physical performance. If you have specific health conditions like sickle cell disease or are recovering from surgery, L-Glutamine has stronger evidence. Talk with your doctor about whether it's right for your goals.
