HelloPharmacist Scorecard of COR-Performance B-BCAA Lemon-Lime by Cellucor
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This powder contains six active ingredients designed to support muscle performance and recovery. The three branched-chain amino acids — L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine — are amino acids your muscles use during exercise.
Beta-alanine is included to support athletic and physical performance. Citrulline malate and alpha-hydroxyisocaproic acid round out the formula.
The product also contains inactive ingredients like citric acid for taste, sodium chloride, artificial sweeteners, colorants, and anti-caking agents.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Beta-alanine is possibly effective for athletic performance and physical performance, according to the evidence we have on file. For other claimed uses — cognitive function, age-related cognitive decline, COPD symptoms, and menopausal symptoms — the evidence is insufficient to rate.
We don't hold effectiveness data for the other active ingredients in this product, so we can't speak to what they do based on our monographs.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Beta-alanine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but it commonly causes a harmless pins-and-needles sensation (paresthesia) along with skin flushing. This tingling usually starts on the scalp within 20 minutes of taking a dose, spreads across the body, and lasts about an hour.
The intensity depends on dose — higher doses produce more noticeable tingling. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on beta-alanine, so it's best to avoid it.
We don't have safety data on file for the other ingredients in this product.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're an athlete or someone focused on physical performance, this BCAA blend with beta-alanine may be worth trying — the evidence supports its use for that. Expect some harmless skin tingling, especially at higher doses.
If you're pregnant, nursing, or take any prescription medications, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before you start.
