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.

BCAA 5000 Watermelon is a powder with 4 active ingredients. Three of them are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) — L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine — which are amino acids your body uses to build and repair muscle, especially during and after exercise.

The fourth active ingredient is vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), a B-vitamin your body needs for nerve function, immune health, and how you process proteins and carbohydrates. The product also contains inactive ingredients — natural flavors, citric acid, sweeteners (acesulfame potassium and sucralose), silica, and food colorants — that make it taste and mix well.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle recovery and protein synthesis support.
  • We looked for evidence on: muscle protein synthesis, exercise recovery, muscle nitrogen retention.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

Vitamin B6 has strong evidence for treating sideroblastic anemia (a type of blood disorder) and vitamin B6 deficiency itself. It's likely effective for lowering homocysteine (a substance linked to heart health), and possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting — though you should only use it for that under your doctor's guidance.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for the branched-chain amino acids in this product as ingredients, so we can't tell you what evidence exists for their use in a supplement like this one.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin B6

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.

Vitamin B6 is generally well tolerated at doses under 100 mg daily. The most common mild side effects are stomach pain, headache, heartburn, nausea, loss of appetite, and drowsiness.

At high doses over time — especially above 1,000 mg daily or total lifetime intakes over 1,000 grams — vitamin B6 can damage nerves (sensory neuropathy), causing tingling or numbness. Although it's been used at recommended levels for morning sickness, do so only under a doctor's supervision.

Normal dietary amounts and standard supplement doses are considered safe, but avoid high doses unless a clinician advises it.

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 — Vitamin B6.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 210 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 MET-Rx BCAA 5000, double-check with your pharmacist if you use blood pressure medications — vitamin B6 may lower your blood pressure further (Moderate). Also check if you're on seizure drugs like phenytoin or phenobarbital, the heart rhythm drug amiodarone, or levodopa for Parkinson's disease (all Moderate or Minor interactions).

The search tool on this page can verify your specific medications.

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.

This product is a BCAA supplement with added vitamin B6. It's worth considering if you're looking to support muscle recovery, but if you take blood pressure medications, seizure drugs, amiodarone, or levodopa, check with your pharmacist first — vitamin B6 can interact with several of these.

Stick to the recommended dose and avoid taking extra vitamin B6 on top of this product.

Vitamin B65 drug types · 210 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Phenobarbital (Luminal)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levodopa

Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.

BCAA 5000 Watermelon by MET-Rx: Common Questions

Does BCAA 5000 Watermelon by MET-Rx interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, BCAA 5000 Watermelon has a known interaction with 210 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
BCAA 5000 Watermelon contains 4 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 this if I'm pregnant?
The vitamin B6 in this product is considered likely safe in pregnancy at normal amounts, but there's also a possibly unsafe rating depending on dose and context. Because pregnancy is a time when safety matters most, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can tell you what's right for you individually. Don't use it for pregnancy nausea without medical guidance.
What are BCAAs and why are they in here?
BCAAs — branched-chain amino acids — are three amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that your muscles use to build and repair themselves, especially during and after exercise. They're popular in sports supplements for that reason. We don't have effectiveness data for them as supplement ingredients on file, so we can't tell you what the evidence says about how well they work.
Will this give me side effects?
At the dose level in a supplement like this, vitamin B6 is usually well tolerated. Mild side effects can include stomach pain, headache, nausea, heartburn, or drowsiness. High doses taken over a long time can damage nerves, but that's typically a concern at very high levels, not standard supplement amounts.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Vitamin B6 at recommended doses is generally well tolerated for extended periods. However, avoid taking high doses for long stretches — very high intakes over time can cause nerve damage. Stick to the recommended dose on the label and don't add extra vitamin B6 supplements on top.
Should I worry about cancer risk from the vitamin B6 in this?
Population research found an association between higher intakes of vitamin B6 and rectal cancer risk in women, but this doesn't mean the supplement causes it — the study looked at total intake from diet and supplements, not supplements alone. A clinical trial in stroke patients found no overall cancer risk from B6 combined with other B vitamins. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about your individual risk.
Can I take this with my seizure medication?
High doses of vitamin B6 can reduce how well seizure drugs like phenytoin or phenobarbital work by speeding up how your body clears them. This product is a standard supplement dose, but check with your pharmacist before adding it — they can tell you whether it's safe alongside your specific medication and dose.
