HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Algoran Sports by Marine Technology Corp

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.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

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 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “A Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (700 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Algoran Sports contains three active ingredients: Rhodiola rosea, Fadogia agrestis, and Ecklonia cava extract. The product also includes a proprietary blend, which means some ingredients are combined in a fixed ratio without individual amounts listed on the label.

The capsule itself is made from plant-based coating and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (an inactive binder).

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: boost testosterone levels and regain energy.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depression, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Fatigue, Male infertility — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depression, Fatigue, Sexual arousal, and more.
  • Also on file: Fadogia Agrestis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance.

The evidence for Algoran Sports' ingredients is incomplete. Rhodiola's effectiveness for altitude sickness, anxiety, heart arrhythmias, and athletic performance hasn't been established in our data.

Fadogia agrestis is similarly unproven for athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and malaria. Ecklonia cava extract shows possibly effective evidence for lowering cholesterol, but evidence is insufficient for athletic performance, cancer prevention, and diabetes.

If you're taking this product for a specific health goal, the science doesn't yet support most of the claims.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rhodiola Fadogia Agrestis Ecklonia Cava

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 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rhodiola is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects are dizziness and changes in saliva production (either dry mouth or excessive saliva).

Fadogia agrestis is concerning: human safety data are scarce, and animal studies raise the possibility of damage to the testicles, liver, and kidneys. Ecklonia cava extract is generally taken short-term in trials, but long-term safety is unclear.

Since it comes from seaweed, it may contain high iodine levels. A small number of trial participants reported nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or hair loss.

All three ingredients should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data.

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Rhodiola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,272 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.

Before taking Algoran Sports, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs) — rhodiola may lower your pressure further. Also double-check drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2C9 enzyme (including losartan and some blood thinners), diabetes medications, immunosuppressants, and P-glycoprotein substrates.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Algoran Sports is a three-ingredient sports supplement whose effectiveness for athletic performance or other claimed uses isn't well established. The biggest concern is rhodiola's interactions with blood pressure and diabetes medications, and the unclear safety profile of Fadogia agrestis in humans.

If you take any prescription medications — especially for blood pressure, blood sugar, immunosuppression, or heart rhythm — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

Rhodiola rosea10 drug types · 1,271 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract can decrease blood glucose due to alpha-glucosidase activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and might lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP2C9. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. Also, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, rhodiola use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro and animal research show that rhodiola has immunostimulatory effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Losartan (Cozaar)

Rhodiola might increase the levels and adverse effects of losartan.
A clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits P-glycoprotein. Theoretically, using rhodiola with P-glycoprotein substrates might increase drug levels and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidepressant Drugs

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with antidepressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of tachyarrhythmias, myalgia, arthralgia, gum pain, restless leg syndrome, swallowing disorders, and changes in consciousness when rhodiola was taken in combination with paroxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, and/or duloxetine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with CNS depressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of excessive sedation, myoclonus, hypotension, and hallucinations when rhodiola was taken with haloperidol, diazepam, or alprazolam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP1A2. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP3A4. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.

Algoran Sports by Marine Technology Corp: Common Questions

Does Algoran Sports by Marine Technology Corp interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Algoran Sports has a known interaction with 1,271 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Algoran Sports contains 3 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.
Can I take Algoran Sports if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — all three active ingredients should be avoided. Rhodiola, Fadogia agrestis, and Ecklonia cava extract don't have enough safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you before or while pregnant or nursing.
What does Rhodiola rosea actually do?
According to the evidence we hold, rhodiola's effectiveness isn't established for altitude sickness, anxiety, arrhythmias, or athletic performance. It's in this product, but we don't have solid proof it delivers the benefits the product claims.
What side effects should I watch for?
Rhodiola may cause dizziness or changes in saliva production (dry mouth or excessive saliva). Ecklonia cava has rarely caused nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or hair loss in trial participants. Fadogia agrestis lacks human safety data but animal research raises concerns about organ toxicity — that's a reason to be cautious.
Is this supplement proven to boost athletic performance?
No — evidence is insufficient for all three active ingredients when it comes to athletic performance. The science doesn't yet support that claim.
Will Ecklonia cava lower my cholesterol?
Ecklonia cava extract shows possibly effective evidence for lowering cholesterol, so it may help — but you should discuss this with your doctor to be sure it's right for you alongside any cholesterol medications you take.
What does Fadogia agrestis do?
We don't have established evidence that Fadogia agrestis works for athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, or malaria. It's in this product, but human safety data are lacking and animal studies suggest possible organ damage — that's something to discuss with your doctor.
