HelloPharmacist Scorecard of BCAAs Caffeine Free Berry Lemonade by Gnarly Sports 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
This powder contains 5 active ingredients: three branched-chain amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine—collectively called BCAAs, amino acids your muscles use for energy and repair), potassium (an electrolyte that supports nerve and muscle function), and Aquamin (a natural mineral source). The rest is inactive ingredients—natural flavors, sweeteners, acids for taste, and thickeners that make the powder mix and taste good.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We hold no effectiveness ratings for any of the active ingredients in this product in our data, so we can't tell you whether the evidence supports BCAAs or potassium for your specific goal. The facts don't include what condition or outcome this product is meant to address, so talk with your pharmacist about what you're hoping it will do and whether the science backs it.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Potassium from food is generally well tolerated and safe. Potassium supplements, though, can cause problems in some people—especially those with kidney disease—because they may lead to dangerously high blood potassium levels.
The most common side effects from potassium taken by mouth are stomach upset: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and gas. Rare but serious effects of very high potassium are heart rhythm problems, low blood pressure, and confusion.
For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the potassium in this product is rated likely safe. The three branched-chain amino acids and Aquamin don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this during pregnancy or while nursing if you have specific concerns.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against this product if you take potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills labeled 'sparing'), ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)—all carry a Moderate risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with potassium supplements. We could not check the three branched-chain amino acids or Aquamin against our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a BCAA supplement with added potassium and minerals. If you take blood-pressure medication (ACE inhibitors or ARBs) or water pills that preserve potassium, you must check your exact medications before using this product—potassium can dangerously raise your blood levels when combined with these drugs.
If you don't take those medications and your kidneys are healthy, potassium from this powder is generally well tolerated. Run it through the checker below with your full medication list.

BCAAs Caffeine Free Berry Lemonade by Gnarly Sports Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Gnarly Sports Nutrition's BCAAs Caffeine Free Berry Lemonade contains potassium, which interacts with several blood-pressure and fluid-management medications.
The most serious concern is the risk of dangerously high blood potassium (hyperkalemia) when potassium is combined with potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills that preserve potassium), ACE inhibitors (blood-pressure drugs), or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs, another class of blood-pressure medication). All three interactions are Moderate in severity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The three branched-chain amino acids in this product—L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine—we could not check for interactions because we hold no data for them. Aquamin, the mineral source, also could not be checked.
Altogether, these interactions span 62 individual medications. If you take any blood-pressure or diuretic medication, use the interaction checker below with your exact drug name and dosage before adding this product.
Potassium from food is generally fine, but supplements require caution, especially if you have kidney disease or take medications that affect potassium balance.

For each ingredient in BCAAs Caffeine Free Berry Lemonade 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.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
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.
