HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Agmatine 1000 mg by Nutricost

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: agmatine, a compound naturally found in the body that plays a role in nerve signaling and blood vessel function. Each capsule delivers 1000 mg.

The capsule also includes inactive ingredients — gelatin, rice flour, olive oil, and magnesium stearate — which help hold and deliver the agmatine.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Agmatine product and its label doesn't state a use — see Agmatine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for agmatine isn't established in the data we hold. Our monograph rates it 'Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate' for six conditions — alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, anxiety, athletic performance, autism spectrum disorder, and bipolar disorder.

That means the science isn't solid enough yet to say whether it works for these uses or not.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Agmatine

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Short-term use of agmatine appears generally well tolerated. The most common side effects reported in small studies were diarrhea, indigestion, and nausea — usually mild to moderate — and they cleared up when people stopped taking it.

However, long-term safety in humans hasn't been well studied, so we don't have a clear picture of what happens if you take it for months or years. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There isn't enough safety data, so the advice is to avoid agmatine during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Agmatine might interest people looking to support nerve or blood vessel health, but the evidence for specific uses is limited. If you take blood pressure or diabetes medication, you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor first — agmatine could make these drugs work too well, lowering your pressure or blood sugar too much.

Short-term side effects like nausea and diarrhea are usually mild, but we don't know much about long-term safety.

Agmatine 1000 mg by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does Agmatine 1000 mg by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Agmatine 1000 mg has a known interaction with 258 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Agmatine 1000 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 is agmatine and what's it supposed to do?
Agmatine is a compound your body makes naturally. It's involved in nerve signaling and blood vessel function. People take it as a supplement hoping it might help with things like anxiety, cognitive health, or athletic performance, but we don't have solid evidence yet that it actually works for these uses.
Will agmatine upset my stomach?
Diarrhea, indigestion, and nausea are the most common side effects reported. In the small studies we have, these were mild to moderate and went away when people stopped taking it. Most people seem to tolerate it okay in the short term, especially at this dose.
Is it safe to take long-term?
We don't have enough research on long-term use in humans to say. Short-term use looks generally well tolerated, but if you're thinking of taking it for months or longer, that's a conversation to have with your pharmacist or doctor.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data, so the advice is to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement.
Does it have a lot of fillers?
This capsule contains gelatin, rice flour, olive oil, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients — the standard binders and flow agents used to make a capsule work. There aren't any unusual fillers in this one.
