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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Arginol Fusion contains 4 active ingredients. Vitamin D supports bone health and calcium metabolism and is used to treat conditions like rickets, osteomalacia, and hypoparathyroidism.

Stevia leaf extract is a natural sweetener. The product also includes arginine and citrulline, amino acids involved in various body functions, though we hold no interaction data for either of those two.

The powder form also contains several inactive ingredients—citric acid, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, fructose, and wild berry flavoring—which serve as fillers, buffers, and flavorings.

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: energy stamina circulatory health exercise performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Exercise-induced muscle damage, Heart failure, Hypertension, Muscle strength — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Effective" for Heart failure (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD).
  • Also on file: Stevia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension.

Vitamin D in this product is effective for familial hypophosphatemia, osteomalacia (soft bones from vitamin D deficiency), renal osteodystrophy (bone disease from kidney failure), rickets, and hypoparathyroidism (low parathyroid hormone). For stevia leaf extract, the evidence isn't established in our data.

The product includes stevia at a dose we cannot fully assess for diabetes, hypertension, or weight management—the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of those uses.

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.

Vitamin D is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, but very high doses over time can cause toxicity marked by high blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia), and in rare cases kidney problems and anemia. Symptoms of toxicity include weak bones, reduced growth in children, eye inflammation, and light sensitivity.

At recommended doses vitamin D is often used during pregnancy and is generally acceptable while breastfeeding, though you should use it only under your doctor's guidance. Stevia appears well tolerated, though the whole-leaf supplement form (rather than purified stevia in food) lacks robust safety data.

The most common side effects are abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness—most resolve after the first week. Allergic reactions are rare but possible.

Safety data for stevia in pregnancy and lactation are not on file for this product; discuss with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Stevia, Vitamin D.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 886 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 Arginol Fusion, double-check any thiazide diuretics, verapamil, diltiazem, or digoxin you're on, as vitamin D at high doses could affect blood calcium levels and your heart rhythm. Also flag lithium, atorvastatin, aluminum-containing products, and calcipotriene.

If you take blood pressure or diabetes medication, let your pharmacist know you're considering this product—stevia may lower blood pressure or blood sugar. We could not check the interaction data for arginine or citrulline.

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.

If you take a thiazide diuretic, heart rhythm medication, digoxin, cholesterol medication, or lithium, talk with your pharmacist before starting Arginol Fusion. The same goes if you're on blood pressure or diabetes medication—stevia could theoretically amplify their effects.

Anyone using high-dose vitamin D or calcipotriene should check with their doctor before adding this product.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Arginol Fusion 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.

Vitamin D8 drug types · 715 drugs

Aluminum

Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)

Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

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

Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Stevia leaf extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Arginol Fusion by Dr. LaMar's Products: Common Questions

Does Arginol Fusion by Dr. LaMar's Products interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Arginol Fusion has a known interaction with 885 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Arginol Fusion contains 5 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.
Is the vitamin D in this product safe for pregnancy?
At recommended doses, vitamin D is often used during pregnancy and is considered likely safe, but use it only under your doctor's guidance. High doses carry a risk, so stick with your doctor's recommendation for the right amount for you.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
Vitamin D is generally considered acceptable at recommended doses while breastfeeding, but check with your doctor before taking higher amounts. We don't have safety data on file for stevia during lactation, so discuss that ingredient with your pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the side effects of stevia in this product?
Most people tolerate stevia well. The most common side effects are abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness, and these usually resolve after the first week. Allergic reactions are rare.
Does this product actually work for what it claims?
Vitamin D in Arginol Fusion is effective for rickets, osteomalacia, renal osteodystrophy, hypoparathyroidism, and familial hypophosphatemia. For stevia's purported effects on diabetes, blood pressure, or weight, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate it, so those claims are unproven.
Why can't you check arginine and citrulline for interactions?
We don't hold interaction data for arginine or citrulline in our database, so we can't assess whether they interact with your medications. That doesn't mean they're safe with everything—just that we can't verify it. Ask your pharmacist to check those two ingredients against your prescriptions.
Is this safe at any dose, or just recommended amounts?
Vitamin D is safe at recommended doses, but very high doses taken long-term can cause toxicity. High-dose stevia supplements also lack robust safety data, whereas small amounts of purified stevia in food are well established as safe. Stick with the label dose and talk to your doctor if you're thinking of taking more.
