What’s inside

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Bone Broth Protein Banana Creme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (23.25 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This powder contains four active ingredients: sodium, potassium, coconut milk, and a chicken bone broth protein concentrate. Sodium and potassium are minerals that your body needs in small amounts for nerve and muscle function, but this product's sodium and potassium content means you'll want to be mindful of your total intake from food and any medications you're taking.

Coconut milk adds creaminess and comes from the pulp of mature coconuts. The bone broth protein concentrate is the protein base — it's derived from chicken bone broth.

The product also contains inactive ingredients like xanthan gum and guar gum (thickeners), stevia and monk fruit extracts (sweeteners), and banana cream flavoring.

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: protein nutrition for body building.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The facts we hold don't establish that this product is effective for any condition. Sodium has been studied for cystic fibrosis (likely effective) and amphotericin B kidney damage (possibly effective), but those aren't uses you'd take a bone broth protein powder for.

Potassium has no effectiveness ratings in our data, and coconut milk shows insufficient evidence for diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, and lichen planus. The protein content itself isn't rated in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Potassium Coconut

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts, but the safety notes caution against excess intake without medical guidance — high sodium is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain. Potassium from a normal diet is fine, though supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels in some people, especially those with kidney disease.

Coconut is generally well tolerated when eaten in normal food amounts, but it can cause allergic reactions ranging from hives to anaphylaxis in people with hypersensitivity to coconut. For pregnancy and lactation, sodium is rated likely safe, potassium is rated likely safe, and coconut is rated likely safe — though the sodium rating also includes a possibly unsafe notation, so this is an area to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Potassium, Coconut, Sodium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 306 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 before taking if you're on blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), potassium-sparing water pills, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers — these Moderate interactions with sodium and potassium are the most serious concerns. Also check if you take lithium, corticosteroids, didanosine, bowel-prep sodium phosphate, tolvaptan, or diabetes medications.

Your own doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether this product fits safely with your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a protein powder with added minerals and coconut. If you take blood pressure medications, heart drugs, lithium, diabetes medications, or potassium-sparing diuretics, you'll need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding it — the sodium and potassium content matters for these drugs.

If you have a coconut allergy, this isn't for you. For most other people without those specific medications or allergies, the main concern is sticking to normal portions and not going overboard on total sodium intake.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Bone Broth Protein Banana Creme 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.

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Sodium full monograph & interactions

Coconut Milk1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking coconut with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that coconut milk might increase insulin levels and/or decrease blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Coconut Milk full monograph & interactions

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Bone Broth Protein Banana Creme by Ancient Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Bone Broth Protein Banana Creme by Ancient Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bone Broth Protein Banana Creme has a known interaction with 306 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bone Broth Protein Banana Creme 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.
Does this have a lot of sodium in it?
The product facts don't specify the amount of sodium per serving, so you'd need to check the nutrition label. What matters is that sodium is listed as an active ingredient, which means it's present in meaningful amounts — not just a trace. If you're watching sodium for blood pressure or heart health, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether this product fits your daily limit.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The ingredients are rated likely safe for pregnancy and lactation overall, but sodium carries a possibly unsafe notation as well. Since this is an individual decision and depends on your specific situation and how much sodium you're already getting, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy or while nursing.
Can I take this if I have a nut allergy?
Coconut is grouped with tree nuts for allergen labeling in the U.S., and it can cause allergic reactions ranging from hives to anaphylaxis in people with coconut hypersensitivity. If you have a tree nut allergy, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — your specific allergy history matters here.
What does the bone broth protein actually do?
The facts we hold don't rate the protein's effectiveness for any particular condition. It's a protein source — useful if you're looking to add protein to your diet, but we don't have evidence it does anything beyond that.
Is this okay for kidney disease?
The product contains both sodium and potassium, and people with kidney disease need careful monitoring of both minerals. This is something you must discuss with your own doctor or nephrologist before taking — they know your kidney function and can advise whether it's safe for you.
Will this cause digestive upset?
Potassium supplements can cause abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, flatulence, belching, and vomiting in some people. Coconut is generally well tolerated. If you're prone to digestive issues, start with a small amount and see how you feel, and talk to your pharmacist if you have concerns.
