HelloPharmacist Scorecard of BioCore Recovery Enzymes by GNC Pro Performance AMP

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

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “BioCore Recovery(TM) Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (832 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients, both proteolytic enzymes — that's a fancy way of saying they're enzymes that break down proteins. You've got Protease 4.5 and Protease 6 Concentrate, which work on the protein molecules in your digestive tract.

The inactive ingredients are rice bran and gelatin (the capsule itself).

Does it work?

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: reduce muscle soreness after exercise.
  • We looked for evidence on: Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), Exercise-induced muscle damage, Muscle recovery.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for these proteolytic enzymes, so the evidence for what they do isn't established in our data. If you're considering this product for a specific reason — like post-workout recovery or digestion — that's a good question to run past your doctor or pharmacist, since they can point you to the latest research.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)

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.

Both enzymes are generally well tolerated for most adults, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Proteolytic enzymes show up in laundry detergents and pre-spotters, and rarely, people exposed to airborne proteolytic enzymes (like pepsin in occupational settings) have developed allergic rhinitis or asthma.

During pregnancy, safety hasn't been established — these enzymes are best avoided unless your doctor prescribes them. There's little safety data during breastfeeding, so medical advice before use is important.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
