HelloPharmacist Scorecard of EAA + BCAA Orange by Pure Power
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
EAA + BCAA Orange contains 11 active ingredients: the three branched-chain amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) along with eight other amino acids (L-Methionine, L-Histidine, L-Threonine, L-Tryptophan, L-Lysine, and DL-Phenylalanine), plus sodium and potassium as electrolytes. The inactive ingredients are citric acid, natural flavors, Himalayan sea salt, steviol glycosides, and monk fruit extract — these are fillers and flavor agents.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for these ingredients varies widely. L-Methionine is possibly effective for preventing neural tube birth defects but has insufficient evidence for hay fever, asthma, and other conditions listed.
L-Histidine is possibly effective for cholera but has insufficient evidence for eczema, kidney failure, and rheumatoid arthritis. L-Threonine is possibly ineffective for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and has insufficient evidence for multiple sclerosis and spasticity.
L-Lysine is possibly effective for cold sores. L-Tryptophan is possibly ineffective for depression and has insufficient evidence for anxiety and other uses.
The evidence for sodium and potassium as treatments for the conditions mentioned is insufficient to rate. We hold no effectiveness ratings for L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, or DL-Phenylalanine.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sodium is safe in normal dietary amounts, but this product contains added sodium from Himalayan sea salt — high intake is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain, and the data notes that excess can worsen cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and increase risk of gastric cancer. Potassium from food is safe, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels, especially in people with kidney disease; the most common side effects are stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, and nausea, though serious effects like heart arrhythmias are rare.
L-Threonine may cause headache, diarrhea, or constipation. L-Tryptophan causes drowsiness and other common side effects (nausea, headache, diarrhea, heartburn); it was linked to a serious neurological disorder (eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome) in 1989, though nearly all cases came from contaminated product by one manufacturer and the issue has not recurred.
L-Methionine may cause dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and vomiting at high doses and can raise homocysteine levels. L-Lysine is generally well tolerated but may cause stomach upset and diarrhea at higher doses.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Major interactions exist with NMDA antagonists (psychiatric or pain medications) and central nervous system depressants like sedatives and alcohol — L-threonine and L-tryptophan are responsible. Moderate interactions affect blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, corticosteroids, lithium, antidepressants and other serotonergic drugs, and didanosine — check these before starting.
A minor interaction occurs with 5-HT4 agonists. Run your medications through the checker on this page to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is an amino acid and electrolyte supplement meant to support protein and recovery. If you take blood pressure medications, heart drugs, lithium, sedatives, or antidepressants, you need to check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting — the sodium, potassium, and L-tryptophan content carries real interaction risks.
People with kidney disease or high blood pressure should talk to their doctor or pharmacist first.

EAA + BCAA Orange by Pure Power Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
EAA + BCAA Orange by Pure Power contains several amino acids and electrolytes with documented interactions to medications.
Altogether, these interactions span 613 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium is the ingredient with the most serious concerns. It can reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) when you take in too much — high sodium intake increases blood pressure and may require your doctor to adjust your medication dose.
Sodium also interacts moderately with corticosteroids, lithium, didanosine, sodium phosphates, tolvaptan, and other sodium-containing drugs, raising the risk of dangerously high sodium levels in your blood (hypernatremia).
Potassium poses a moderate risk with potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers — combining these blood pressure or heart medications with extra potassium can cause dangerously high potassium levels. L-Tryptophan carries major concerns with central nervous system depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, alcohol) due to additive drowsiness, and moderate risk with serotonergic drugs like antidepressants, which may increase serotonin-related side effects.
L-Threonine has a major interaction with NMDA antagonists, a class of psychiatric or pain medications that it may reduce in effectiveness.
L-Lysine causes a minor interaction with 5-HT4 agonists. We could not check L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, or DL-Phenylalanine — no interaction data is on file for these ingredients.

For each ingredient in EAA + BCAA Orange 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.
L-Tryptophan
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of L-tryptophan with CNS depressants might cause additive sedative effects.
Clinical research shows that L-tryptophan can cause fatigue and drowsiness.
Serotonergic Drugs
Theoretically, combining L-tryptophan with serotonergic drugs might cause additive serotonergic effects.
L-tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin. Theoretically, combining serotonergic drugs with L-tryptophan might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects, including serotonin syndrome and cerebral vasoconstrictive disorders.
Sodium
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Potassium
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.
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.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
L-Threonine
Nmda Antagonists
Theoretically, threonine might decrease the effects of NMDA antagonists.
Threonine increases central nervous system (CNS) glycine levels. Glycine seems to bind a site on NMDA receptors and enhance the activity of the receptors.
L-Lysine
5-Ht4 Agonists
Theoretically, lysine may reduce the effects of 5-HT4 agonists.
Animal research suggests that L-lysine is a partial serotonin receptor 4 (5-HT4) antagonist and inhibits diarrhea induced by the 5-HT4 agonist, 5-hydroxytryptophane.
