HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CreaFuze Lemon Lime by NutraBio
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
CreaFuze Lemon Lime has 4 active ingredients: three forms of creatine and magnesium. Creatine Monohydrate, Creatine HCl, and Creatine MagnaPower are different chemical forms of creatine, a compound your muscles use for energy during intense exercise.
Magnesium is a mineral that supports muscle function and energy production. The product also contains flavoring as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The three creatine forms in this product are possibly effective for building muscle strength, improving athletic performance, treating sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), and addressing cerebral creatine deficiency syndromes. They are considered possibly ineffective for Huntington disease and osteopenia (low bone density).
Magnesium is effective for heartburn (dyspepsia), constipation, and preventing pre-eclampsia in pregnancy — but this product is not marketed for those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Creatine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though those with kidney problems should be cautious. The most common side effects are dehydration, diarrhea, stomach upset, muscle cramps, and water retention.
Rare serious concerns include kidney inflammation, muscle breakdown, and blood clots — these have been raised in case reports but are not common. Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established, so both creatine forms should be avoided in those situations.
Magnesium is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Magnesium is needed in pregnancy but should only be used there under your doctor's guidance. For breastfeeding, dietary amounts are fine, but talk to your doctor before taking supplements.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before taking CreaFuze Lemon Lime, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take levodopa/carbidopa (Parkinson's medication) — magnesium can significantly reduce how much your body absorbs. Also double-check skeletal muscle relaxants, potassium-sparing diuretics, calcium channel blockers, antacids, sulfonylureas (diabetes drugs), quinolone antibiotics, or bisphosphonates (osteoporosis drugs), as magnesium may interact with all of these.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
CreaFuze Lemon Lime is built for people looking to boost muscle strength and athletic performance through creatine supplementation. If you take levodopa/carbidopa, any muscle relaxant, diabetes medication, a bone drug, or an antibiotic, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting — magnesium can affect how they work.
If you have kidney issues, are pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

CreaFuze Lemon Lime by NutraBio Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
CreaFuze Lemon Lime by NutraBio contains three creatine forms and magnesium.
The three creatine ingredients — Creatine Monohydrate, Creatine HCl, and Creatine MagnaPower — have no documented interactions with medications. Magnesium, however, does interact with several drug types.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The most serious interaction is with levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet), used for Parkinson's disease. Magnesium can reduce how much of these drugs your body absorbs — one study found it cut levodopa levels by 35% and carbidopa by 81%.
This Major-severity interaction could make your medication less effective.
Magnesium also has Moderate-severity interactions with skeletal muscle relaxants (which it may enhance), potassium-sparing diuretics, calcium channel blockers, antacids, sulfonylureas (diabetes drugs), quinolone antibiotics, and bisphosphonates (osteoporosis drugs). With quinolone antibiotics or bisphosphonates, spacing out your doses by 2 to 4 hours can help reduce the interaction.
Altogether, these interactions span 295 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up any prescriptions you take before starting this product.

For each ingredient in CreaFuze Lemon Lime with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Magnesium
Levodopa/Carbidopa (Sinemet)
Magnesium can reduce the bioavailability of levodopa/carbidopa.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that taking magnesium oxide 1000 mg with levodopa 100 mg/carbidopa 10 mg reduces the area under the curve (AUC) of levodopa by 35% and of carbidopa by 81%. In vitro and animal research shows that magnesium produces an alkaline environment in the digestive tract, which might lead to degradation and reduced bioavailability of levodopa/carbidopa.
Aminoglycoside Antibiotics
Concomitant use of aminoglycoside antibiotics and magnesium can increase the risk for neuromuscular weakness.
Both aminoglycosides and magnesium reduce presynaptic acetylcholine release, which can lead to neuromuscular blockade and possible paralysis. This is most likely to occur with high doses of magnesium given intravenously.
Antacids
Use of acid reducers may reduce the laxative effect of magnesium oxide.
A retrospective analysis shows that, in the presence of H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a higher dose of magnesium oxide is needed for a laxative effect. This may also occur with antacids. Under acidic conditions, magnesium oxide is converted to magnesium chloride and then to magnesium bicarbonate, which has an osmotic laxative effect. By reducing acidity, antacids may reduce the conversion of magnesium oxide to the active bicarbonate salt.
Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (Biktarvy)
Magnesium might decrease levels of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide by reducing its absorption.
Advise patients that bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide should be taken at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after magnesium containing products.
Bisphosphonates
Magnesium can decrease absorption of bisphosphonates.
Cations, including magnesium, can decrease bisphosphonate absorption. Advise patients to separate doses of magnesium and these drugs by at least 2 hours.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Magnesium can have additive effects with calcium channel blockers, although evidence is conflicting.
Magnesium inhibits calcium entry into smooth muscle cells and may therefore have additive effects with calcium channel blockers. Severe hypotension and neuromuscular blockades may occur when nifedipine is used with intravenous magnesium, although some contradictory evidence suggests that concurrent use of magnesium with nifedipine does not increase the risk of neuromuscular weakness. High doses of magnesium could theoretically have additive effects with other calcium channel blockers.
Digoxin
Magnesium salts may reduce absorption of digoxin.
Clinical evidence suggests that treatment with oral magnesium hydroxide or magnesium trisilicate reduces absorption of digoxin from the intestines. This may reduce the blood levels of digoxin and decrease its therapeutic effects.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Potassium-sparing diuretics decrease excretion of magnesium, possibly increasing magnesium levels.
Potassium-sparing diuretics also have magnesium-sparing properties, which can counteract the magnesium losses associated with loop and thiazide diuretics. Theoretically, increased magnesium levels could result from concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics and magnesium supplements.
Quinolone Antibiotics
Magnesium decreases absorption of quinolones.
Magnesium can form insoluble complexes with quinolones and decrease their absorption. Advise patients to take these drugs at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after, magnesium supplements.
Skeletal Muscle Relaxants
Parenteral magnesium alters the pharmacokinetics of skeletal muscle relaxants, increasing their effects and accelerating the onset of effect.
Parenteral magnesium shortens the time to onset of skeletal muscle relaxants by about 1 minute and prolongs the duration of action by about 2 minutes. Magnesium potentiates the effects of skeletal muscle relaxants by decreasing calcium-mediated release of acetylcholine from presynaptic nerve terminals, reducing postsynaptic sensitivity to acetylcholine, and having a direct effect on the membrane potential of myocytes. Magnesium also has vasodilatory actions and increases cardiac output, allowing a greater amount of muscle relaxant to reach the motor end plate. A clinical study found that low-dose rocuronium (0.45 mg/kg), when given after administration of magnesium 30 mg/kg over 10 minutes, has an accelerated onset of effect, which matches the onset of effect seen with a full-dose rocuronium regimen (0.6 mg/kg). In another clinical study, onset times for rocuronium doses of 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 mg/kg were 86, 76, and 50 seconds, respectively, when given alone, but were reduced to 66, 44, and 38 seconds, respectively, when the doses were given after a 15-minute infusion of magnesium sulfate 60 mg/kg. Giving intraoperative intravenous magnesium sulfate, 50 mg/kg loading dose followed by 15 mg/kg/hour, reduces the onset time of rocuronium, enhances its clinical effects, reduces the dose of intraoperative opiates, and prolongs the spontaneous recovery time. It does not affect the activity of subsequently administered neostigmine.
Sulfonylureas
Magnesium increases the systemic absorption of sulfonylureas, increasing their effects and side effects.
Clinical research shows that administration of magnesium hydroxide with glyburide increases glyburide absorption, increases maximal insulin response by 35-fold, and increases the risk of hypoglycemia, when compared with glyburide alone. A similar interaction occurs between magnesium hydroxide and glipizide. The mechanism of this effect appears to be related to the elevation of gastrointestinal pH by magnesium-based antacids, increasing solubility and enhancing absorption of sulfonylureas.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Magnesium decreases absorption of tetracyclines.
Magnesium can form insoluble complexes with tetracyclines in the gut and decrease their absorption and antibacterial activity. Advise patients to take these drugs 1 hour before or 2 hours after magnesium supplements.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, magnesium may have antiplatelet effects, but the evidence is conflicting.
In vitro evidence shows that magnesium sulfate inhibits platelet aggregation, even at low concentrations. Some preliminary clinical evidence shows that infusion of magnesium sulfate increases bleeding time by 48% and reduces platelet activity. However, other clinical research shows that magnesium does not affect platelet aggregation, although inhibition of platelet-dependent thrombosis can occur.
Gabapentin (Neurontin)
Gabapentin absorption can be decreased by magnesium.
Clinical research shows that giving magnesium oxide orally along with gabapentin decreases the maximum plasma concentration of gabapentin by 33%, time to maximum concentration by 36%, and area under the curve by 43%. Advise patients to take gabapentin at least 2 hours before, or 4 to 6 hours after, magnesium supplements.
Sevelamer (Renagel, Renvela)
Sevelamer may increase serum magnesium levels.
In patients on hemodialysis, sevelamer use was associated with a 0.28 mg/dL increase in serum magnesium. The mechanism of this interaction remains unclear.
