HelloPharmacist Scorecard of BC + EAA Blue Raspberry by LG Sciences

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

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 2 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “TOTAL AMINO ACID CONTENT” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (10.50 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Proprietary Blend Branched-Chain Amino Acid Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (4.50 g) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Recovery Agent” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This product contains 5 active ingredients: L-glutamine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, and Essential Amino Acids. These are amino acids—the building blocks your body uses to build and repair muscle and other tissues.

The branched-chain amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine) are grouped together because they work as a team to support recovery after exercise and training. The powder also contains inactive ingredients like citric acid (for flavor), natural and artificial flavoring and color, xanthan gum (a thickener), and sucralose (a sweetener).

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: amino acids for recovery and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Postoperative recovery, Critical illness (trauma), HIV/AIDS-related wasting, muscle protein synthesis — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for HIV/AIDS-related wasting (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Critical illness (trauma), Postoperative recovery.
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.

L-glutamine is effective for sickle cell disease and possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related muscle wasting, recovery after surgery, and recovery from critical illness like trauma. The evidence we hold doesn't cover the other amino acids in this product or how the blend as a whole works for general recovery or fitness goals—that data isn't in our monographs.

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.

L-glutamine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults. The most common side effects are digestive: belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, gas pain, and nausea.

Headache and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported. If you have kidney or liver disease, use this product only under your doctor's supervision.

L-glutamine is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation. We don't hold safety information for the other amino acids in the product while breastfeeding, so talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.

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 1 matched ingredient 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 anticonvulsants (seizure medications), check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—L-glutamine might work against how your medication controls seizures. For all other prescription medications, use the search tool on this page to look them up, since we don't have interaction data for the other amino acids in the blend.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a branched-chain and essential amino acid blend aimed at muscle recovery. If you take a seizure medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first because L-glutamine may theoretically interfere with how it works.

If you have kidney or liver disease, get medical clearance before starting. For anyone else considering it, run your medications through the checker below to be sure.

RECOVERY AGENT

TASTES GREAT!

This product gives the benefit of increased recovery and anabolism. Blending three key technologies, this product will cover all of your anabolic and anti-catabolic bases. Branch Chained Amino Acids are proven in numberous clinical studies to promote anabolism, meaning increased muscle growth. Essential Amino Acids have been proven to reduce catabolism and reduce muscle wasting. We use a precise high Leucine BCAA blend to give the body more raw materials to help in recovery and growth. Both essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids are shown to increase recovery and anabolism, so these are blended with L-Glutamine to help further stimulate recovery and growth.
