Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 8 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Big Noise Tiger's Blood contains 8 active ingredients. Rhodiola rosea root extract and agmatine sulfate are adaptogenic compounds; rhodiola is used traditionally for stress and endurance, while agmatine is a metabolite of the amino acid arginine.

L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC) and huperzine A are compounds that may support brain function and memory. Beet root extract provides nitrates and pigments linked to blood flow and exercise performance.

Betaine anhydrous, choline, and glycerol monostearate are supporting compounds that play roles in metabolism, cell membrane function, and cellular hydration. The product also contains inactive ingredients: disodium phosphate, sucralose, acesulfame-K, maltodextrin, and silica, which serve as sweeteners, binders, and flow agents in the powder.

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: pre-workout pump with mental clarity and focus.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Cognitive function, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Fatigue, Memory — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Glycerol is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle soreness.
  • Also on file: Choline is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.

The evidence for most of these ingredients remains limited. Beet root extract is possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness.

Alpha-GPC is possibly effective for Alzheimer disease. Huperzine A is possibly effective for Alzheimer disease.

Rhodiola, agmatine, betaine anhydrous (apart from its effectiveness for homocystinuria and possible effectiveness for high homocysteine levels), choline, and glycerol monostearate lack sufficient reliable evidence in our data for the performance and cognitive claims typically made about pre-workout formulas. Betaine anhydrous is effective for homocystinuria and possibly effective for high homocysteine levels (hyperhomocysteinemia), though that's not a typical use case for a pre-workout powder.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rhodiola Agmatine Alpha-gpc Beet Betaine Anhydrous Huperzine A Choline Glycerol

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 8 of the 8 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 8 of 8.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 8 of 8.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The ingredients in this product are generally well tolerated for short-term use, though long-term safety data is limited for most of them. Common mild side effects include dizziness, dry mouth, increased or decreased salivation (from rhodiola), diarrhea and nausea (from agmatine and betaine anhydrous), red or black stools (from beet), and cholinergic effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea at higher doses (from huperzine A and choline).

Alpha-GPC has been rarely associated with stroke when used for at least 2 months and with dizziness, headache, and insomnia. The safety data advises against rhodiola, agmatine, alpha-GPC, and huperzine A during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient information.

Betaine anhydrous and choline lack specific pregnancy data on file, though choline is noted as likely safe during lactation. Beet and glycerol lack pregnancy and lactation data on file—talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance if you're pregnant or 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?
  • 6 of the 8 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Beet, Choline, Huperzine A, Rhodiola, Alpha-gpc, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,368 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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives)—rhodiola and agmatine both may lower blood pressure further. Do the same if you take diabetes medications, as both ingredients theoretically increase low blood sugar risk.

If you use anticholinergic drugs like scopolamine patches or certain bladder medications, huperzine A and alpha-GPC may interfere. Also flag any medications processed by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme (a major pathway for many common drugs), since beet root moderately inhibits it.

Anyone on cholinergic medications should discuss huperzine A with their pharmacist as well.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

This is a multi-ingredient pre-workout powder with several active compounds that may support athletic performance and exercise recovery, though evidence is strongest only for beet extract. Before you start, check your blood pressure and diabetes medications, any anticholinergic drugs, and any medications your liver processes heavily—this product interacts with a wide range of medications.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or take any prescription drugs, talk with your pharmacist first.

Rhodiola rosea Root Extract10 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.

Beet Root Extract3 drug types · 861 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.

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

Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Agmatine Sulfate2 drug types · 258 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, agmatine might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that agmatine has mild hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, agmatine might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that agmatine can modestly decrease heart rate and blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Agmatine Sulfate full monograph & interactions

Huperzine A2 drug types · 219 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, huperzine A might decrease the effects of anticholinergic drugs.
Huperzine A has acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibiting effects. In animal models, huperzine A reversed cognitive deficits induced by scopolamine, an anticholinergic drug.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of huperzine A with cholinergic drugs might increase the effects and side effects of these medications.
Huperzine A can inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and might cause cumulative effects if used with cholinergic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Huperzine A full monograph & interactions

L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine1 drug type · 16 drugs

Scopolamine (Transderm Scop)

Theoretically, alpha-GPC might decrease the effects of scopolamine.
A small clinical study shows that alpha-GPC can partially counteract the attention and memory impairment effects caused by scopolamine given intramuscularly. Whether alpha-GPC can decrease the beneficial anti-motion sickness effects of the scopolamine patch (Transderm Scop) is unclear.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine full monograph & interactions

Choline1 drug type · 16 drugs

Atropine

Theoretically, choline might decrease the effects of atropine in the brain.
Animal research shows that administering choline one hour before administering atropine can attenuate atropine-induced decreases in brain levels of acetylcholine. Theoretically, concomitant use of choline and atropine may decrease the effects of atropine.

Big Noise Tiger's Blood by Redcon1: Common Questions

Does Big Noise Tiger's Blood by Redcon1 interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Big Noise Tiger's Blood has a known interaction with 1,367 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Big Noise Tiger's Blood contains 8 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 this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against rhodiola, agmatine, alpha-GPC, and huperzine A during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Betaine anhydrous, beet, choline, and glycerol lack enough safety information—don't assume they're fine. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before use.
What side effects should I watch for?
Common mild ones include dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea, and red or dark-colored stools. Huperzine A and choline can cause cholinergic effects like increased salivation or sweating at higher doses. Alpha-GPC has rarely been linked to stroke with long-term use (at least 2 months). Stop and contact your doctor if you notice anything unusual.
Does this actually improve athletic performance?
Beet root extract is possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness based on the evidence we hold. The other ingredients lack reliable evidence for this use in our data, though they're marketed for it.
What is huperzine A, and why is it in a pre-workout?
Huperzine A is a compound from club moss that inhibits an enzyme involved in breaking down acetylcholine, a brain chemical tied to focus and memory. It's possibly effective for Alzheimer disease, but it's not well established for normal cognitive function or athletic performance.
Can I take this with my blood pressure or diabetes medication?
Possibly, but don't assume—both rhodiola and agmatine theoretically lower blood pressure and blood sugar further, which could be risky. Use the medication checker on this page to search your exact drugs, then confirm with your pharmacist before you start.
What is the difference between alpha-GPC and choline?
Both are compounds that support brain function and acetylcholine levels. Alpha-GPC is possibly effective for Alzheimer disease; choline's evidence for cognitive effects is not established in our data. Both can cause cholinergic side effects and interact with anticholinergic drugs, though choline's interaction is only minor (with atropine).
