HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Daily Pump Big Sky by Arms Race Nutrition
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
Daily Pump Big Sky contains 5 active ingredients. L-citrulline is an amino acid that your body converts into another compound to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles.
Vitamin C supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant. GlycerSize (glycerol) is a compound that draws water into muscle tissue and may support athletic performance and hydration.
NO3-T and ViNitrox are proprietary blends—we hold no detailed information on their composition or mechanism. The powder also contains inactive ingredients: silicon dioxide, malic acid, natural and artificial flavors, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
L-citrulline is rated possibly effective for athletic performance—meaning there's some evidence it may help, but it's not definitive. It's rated possibly ineffective for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for cardiovascular disease, heart failure, diabetes, or Reye syndrome.
Vitamin C is effective for vitamin C deficiency and possibly effective for anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation, cataracts, and exercise-induced respiratory infections. Glycerol is rated likely effective for constipation and possibly effective for athletic performance, but likely ineffective for stroke.
We hold no effectiveness data for NO3-T and ViNitrox.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
L-citrulline is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though long-term safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal—stomach discomfort and heartburn.
A small number of people with pulmonary hypertension reported cough. Avoid L-citrulline if you're pregnant; there isn't enough safety data.
The same applies to breastfeeding. Vitamin C is safe at normal dietary and supplement doses, but very high doses (above 2 grams daily) can cause stomach cramps, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, and rarely kidney stones in people prone to them.
High-dose intravenous vitamin C is associated with serious kidney complications. During pregnancy, normal amounts from food and prenatal vitamins are fine, but avoid high-dose supplements unless your doctor advises it.
For breastfeeding, stick to recommended dietary amounts and avoid high-dose supplements. Glycerol is generally well tolerated but large oral doses can cause bloating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache.
We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding data for glycerol; talk to your doctor before using medicinal amounts while pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications if you take blood pressure drugs (antihypertensive medications)—L-citrulline may add to their effect. Also double-check if you're on estrogen-based birth control or hormone therapy, blood thinners like warfarin, thyroid medication, HIV drugs, or chemotherapy or antitumor antibiotics, as vitamin C can interact with all of these.
For the two proprietary ingredients NO3-T and ViNitrox, we hold no interaction data and cannot check them against your medications.
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.
Daily Pump Big Sky may support athletic performance if the L-citrulline and glycerol work as intended, but the evidence is modest. If you take blood pressure medications, estrogen-based birth control, blood thinners, or thyroid medication, you need to check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting.
Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid this product. Talk to your pharmacist about your medications before you begin.

Daily Pump Big Sky by Arms Race Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Daily Pump Big Sky by Arms Race Nutrition contains ingredients with documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is L-citrulline with blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs). L-citrulline is converted to a compound that widens blood vessels, and taking it alongside blood pressure drugs could theoretically cause a drop in blood pressure that's larger than expected.
However, small clinical studies suggest this effect may be modest at typical doses.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin C in this product may interact with several medication types. It can increase estrogen levels from birth control pills or hormone therapy by up to 55% in some cases, potentially reducing their effectiveness or raising estrogen-related side effects.
High-dose vitamin C can also reduce how well blood thinners like warfarin work, lower levels of certain HIV medications, increase thyroid medication absorption, and theoretically interfere with some chemotherapy drugs and antitumor antibiotics. Most of these concerns arise at higher doses; the amount in a single serving of this product may be modest.
Glycerol (GlycerSize) and two other ingredients—NO3-T and ViNitrox—have no interactions documented in our data. We could not check NO3-T and ViNitrox because we hold no monograph data for them.
Altogether, these interactions span 383 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Daily Pump Big Sky 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.
Vitamin C
Alkylating Agents
Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Aluminum
Vitamin C can increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Research in animals and humans shows that vitamin C increases aluminum absorption, theoretically by chelating aluminum and keeping it in solution where it is available for absorption. In people with normal renal function, urinary excretion of aluminum will likely increase, making aluminum retention and toxicity unlikely. Patients with renal failure who take aluminum-containing compounds such as phosphate binders should avoid vitamin C supplements in doses above the recommended dietary allowances.
Antitumor Antibiotics
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs which generate free radicals, such as doxorubicin. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Estrogens
Vitamin C might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% occur under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. Increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when patients who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements. Monitor these patients for estrogen-related side effects.
Fluphenazine (Prolixin)
Theoretically, vitamin C might decrease levels of fluphenazine.
In one patient there was a clinically significant decrease in fluphenazine levels when vitamin C (500 mg twice daily) was started. The mechanism is not known, and there is no further data to confirm this interaction.
Indinavir (Crixivan)
Vitamin C can modestly reduce indinavir levels.
One pharmacokinetic study shows that taking vitamin C 1 gram orally once daily along with indinavir 800 mg orally three times daily reduces the area under the concentration-time curve of indinavir by 14%. The mechanism of this interaction is unknown, but it is unlikely to be clinically significant in most patients. The effect of higher doses of vitamin C on indinavir levels is unknown.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Vitamin C can increase levothyroxine absorption.
Two clinical studies in adults with poorly controlled hypothyroidism show that swallowing levothyroxine with a glass of water containing vitamin C 500-1000 mg in solution reduces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and increases thyroxine (T4) levels when compared with taking levothyroxine alone. This suggests that vitamin C increases the oral absorption of levothyroxine, possibly due to a reduction in pH.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
High-dose vitamin C might reduce the levels and effectiveness of warfarin.
Vitamin C in high doses may cause diarrhea and possibly reduce warfarin absorption. There are reports of two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C and had a reduction in prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily can also reduce warfarin absorption. In many cases, this does not seem to be clinically significant. However, a case of warfarin resistance has been reported for a patient who took vitamin C 500 mg twice daily. Cessation of vitamin C supplementation resulted in a rapid increase in international normalized ratio (INR). Tell patients taking warfarin to avoid taking vitamin C in excessively high doses (greater than 10 grams daily). Lower doses may be safe, but the anticoagulation activity of warfarin should be monitored. Patients who are stabilized on warfarin while taking vitamin C should avoid adjusting vitamin C dosage to prevent the possibility of warfarin resistance.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)
High-dose vitamin C might slightly prolong the clearance of acetaminophen.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking high-dose vitamin C (3 grams) 1.5 hours after taking acetaminophen 1 gram slightly increases the apparent half-life of acetaminophen from around 2.3 hours to 3.1 hours. Ascorbic acid competitively inhibits sulfate conjugation of acetaminophen. However, to compensate, elimination of acetaminophen glucuronide and unconjugated acetaminophen increases. This effect is not likely to be clinically significant.
Aspirin
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase aspirin levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction is not clinically significant.
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase choline magnesium trisalicylate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
Niacin
Vitamin C might decrease the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises HDL cholesterol levels in patients with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50% in patients with coronary disease. It is not known whether this adverse effect is due to a single antioxidant such as vitamin C, or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.
Salsalate (Disalcid)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase salsalate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams/day vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
L-Citrulline
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of L-citrulline with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects and increase the chance of hypotension.
L-citrulline is converted to L-arginine, which can increase nitric oxide and cause vasodilation. However, a meta-analysis of 5 small clinical studies suggests that taking L-citrulline 3-6 grams daily for 1-8 weeks does not lower blood pressure when compared with control.
Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors
Theoretically, concurrent use of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors and L-citrulline might result in additive vasodilation.
L-citrulline is converted to L-arginine, which can increase nitric oxide and cause vasodilation. Theoretically, taking L-arginine with PDE-5 inhibitors might have additive vasodilatory and hypotensive effects. However, in studies evaluating the combined use of L-arginine and sildenafil for erectile dysfunction, hypotension was not reported.
