HelloPharmacist Scorecard of HemodrauliX by Axis Labs

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “HemodrauliX Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

HemodrauliX contains 6 active ingredients in a softgel capsule. Beta-alanine and arginine compounds (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate and arginine ethyl ester dihydrochloride) are amino acids meant to support blood flow and muscle performance.

Arachidonic acid is a fatty acid involved in cell signaling, and sesame seed oil is included for its anti-inflammatory properties. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, purified water, lecithin, and titanium dioxide.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle pumps and athletic performance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Physical performance, Exercise-induced muscle breakdown, Muscle vascularity, Muscle endurance, Strength gains.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Physical performance.
  • Also on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle breakdown.

Beta-alanine is possibly effective for athletic performance and physical performance. The evidence for its use in age-related cognitive decline, COPD, general cognitive function, and menopausal symptoms is insufficient — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those uses.

Sesame seed oil is possibly effective for high blood pressure, possibly ineffective for cough, and has insufficient evidence for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, HIV-related wasting, Alzheimer disease, and anemia of chronic disease. We have no effectiveness data on file for the other ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sesame Beta-alanine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Beta-alanine is generally well tolerated, though it commonly causes a harmless tingling sensation (paresthesia) in the skin, usually starting on the scalp within 20 minutes and lasting about an hour — this is milder at lower doses and more pronounced at higher ones. The safety data advises against beta-alanine during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Sesame oil from food amounts is generally safe, but sesame is a major allergen — allergic reactions can include skin symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, or hives, as well as respiratory symptoms. Concentrated sesame supplements are less studied than food amounts.

One case of diarrhea was reported in a clinical trial. Safety of concentrated supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well studied, so check with your doctor.

We have no safety data on file for arachidonic acid, di-arginine malate, or arginine ethyl ester dihydrochloride.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sesame Beta-alanine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Sesame.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 528 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before starting HemodrauliX, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs), medications processed by the liver enzyme CYP2C9, tamoxifen (Nolvadex), or drugs transported by a protein called P-glycoprotein — sesame oil may affect how these work. If you have a sesame allergy, avoid this product entirely.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

HemodrauliX may appeal to you if you're looking to support athletic or physical performance through beta-alanine, but you should be cautious if you take blood pressure medication, blood sugar medication, or certain other drugs metabolized by your liver — especially if you have a sesame allergy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your current medications and health before starting, and let them know if you experience tingling, skin flushing, or any allergic symptoms while taking it.

Sesame seed Oil5 drug types · 528 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking sesame oil with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical studies show that sesame oil can decrease plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Some clinical research in patients taking glibenclamide shows that using sesame oil or a blend of sesame oil and rice bran oil in place of other oil for cooking reduces plasma glucose more than glibenclamide alone. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Taking sesame oil with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Clinical research shows that replacing other cooking oil with sesame oil can lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in patients with or without hypertension. There is also some evidence that sesame oil has additive effects in patients also taking atenolol, nifedipine, and/or hydrochlorothiazide. In patients using nifedipine, using a blend of sesame oil and rice bran oil for cooking reduces both SBP and DBP more than nifedipine alone.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, sesame might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro, sesame inhibits CYP2C9. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)

Theoretically, sesame might interfere with tamoxifen.
In animal research, sesame seed reduces the tumor-inhibitory effect of tamoxifen by reducing apoptosis and increasing proliferation. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, sesame might alter the transport of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research suggests that sesamin, a constituent of sesame, can inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

HemodrauliX by Axis Labs: Common Questions

Does HemodrauliX by Axis Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, HemodrauliX has a known interaction with 528 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
HemodrauliX contains 6 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What's the tingling I might feel when I take beta-alanine?
That's a harmless side effect called paresthesia — a pins-and-needles sensation that usually starts on your scalp within 20 minutes and spreads to your body, lasting about an hour. It's milder at lower doses and more pronounced at higher ones, and it tends to happen in only about a quarter of people taking the lowest doses.
Will this help me build muscle or improve my workout?
Beta-alanine is possibly effective for athletic and physical performance, so the evidence suggests it may help, but results aren't guaranteed. The other ingredients in this product don't have enough reliable evidence to tell you whether they work for that goal.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against beta-alanine during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. We also don't have safety data on file for several other ingredients in this product. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Could I be allergic to this product?
Sesame is a major allergen — up to 0.5% of Americans report a sesame allergy. Allergic reactions can include skin symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, or hives, and sometimes respiratory symptoms. If you have a known sesame allergy, don't take this product.
What does sesame oil do in here?
Sesame oil is included for its anti-inflammatory properties and is possibly effective for high blood pressure. However, if you already take blood pressure or blood sugar medication, sesame oil can increase those effects and raise the risk of dangerously low blood pressure or low blood sugar.
