HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Agmatine 500 Milligrams by NutraBio

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.

Agmatine 500 Milligrams is a straightforward single-ingredient supplement: each capsule contains 500 mg of agmatine sulfate. Agmatine is a compound naturally produced in your body from the amino acid arginine.

It's wrapped in a vegetable capsule (the inactive ingredient that holds the powder).

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Agmatine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: pre- and post-workout support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle strength, Exercise performance, Muscle pumps, Workout recovery.
  • The closest evidence on file: Agmatine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Agmatine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength.

The evidence backing agmatine for any health purpose isn't yet established in our data. The supplement has been studied for alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, anxiety, athletic performance, autism spectrum disorder, and bipolar disorder — but in each case, the evidence is insufficient to draw a reliable conclusion.

If you're considering agmatine for any of these reasons, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research shows and whether it makes sense for you.

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 are diarrhea, indigestion (dyspepsia), and nausea — mild to moderate diarrhea and nausea showed up in a few patients taking higher doses (3.56 grams daily) and cleared up once they stopped.

However, long-term safety in people hasn't been well studied, so we don't have much data on what happens with extended use. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best to avoid agmatine.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation before taking it.

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

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 258 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're on blood pressure medication, agmatine could lower your pressure further — a Moderate concern. If you take diabetes medication, agmatine might lower your blood sugar too much, also Moderate.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Agmatine might interest you if you've read about it for conditions like anxiety or cognitive support — but the evidence doesn't yet confirm it works for any of these. The real thing to watch for is whether you take blood pressure or diabetes medications; if you do, check with your pharmacist first.

Short-term use looks okay for most people, but we don't know much about long-term safety.
