HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Leucine Agma by BPI Sports

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Leucine Agma contains 2 active ingredients: leucine and agmatine. Agmatine is derived from the amino acid arginine and is included in this formula to support athletic and cognitive function.

The product also contains several inactive ingredients — pH-buffering agents, taurine, silica, acids for flavor, and sweeteners — that help stabilize and taste the powder.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Agmatine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle protein synthesis and anabolic support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle strength, muscle hypertrophy, lean mass gain, protein metabolism.
  • The closest evidence on file: Agmatine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Agmatine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength.

The evidence on agmatine for the conditions listed in our data—alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, anxiety, athletic performance, autism spectrum disorder, and bipolar disorder—is insufficient to rate its effectiveness. We hold no effectiveness ratings for leucine in our data.

If you're considering this product for a specific purpose, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the science actually supports for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Agmatine

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Agmatine appears generally well tolerated when used short-term in recommended amounts. Long-term safety in humans has not been well studied, so caution is warranted with extended use.

The most common side effects reported in small trials are diarrhea, indigestion (dyspepsia), and nausea — these typically appeared within a few days and resolved when people stopped taking it. Safety data is insufficient for pregnancy and breastfeeding, so the evidence advises against use during both.

We hold no safety data for leucine.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Agmatine

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Agmatine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 258 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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — agmatine may lower blood pressure further and increase the risk of dangerously low readings. Also flag any diabetes medications (antidiabetes drugs) you take, as agmatine may increase the risk of low blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Leucine Agma is a two-ingredient powder that's generally well tolerated short-term but carries moderate interaction risks with blood pressure and diabetes medications. If you take either type of drug, check your exact medications with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

Long-term safety isn't well established, so this is a conversation worth having with your healthcare provider.

L-Leucine is an essential amino acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own. Research shows that L-Leucine can help stimulate muscle protein synthesis and preserve muscle tissue.

Agmatine, in the preferred Agmatine Sulfate form, has shown greater potential than L-Arginine for nitric oxide synthase, in early stage work. Additionally, Agmatine has been suggested in the scientific literature to have other properties that could have direct benefits to athletes and bodybuilders, too.

Leucine Agma by BPI Sports: Common Questions

Does Leucine Agma by BPI Sports interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Leucine Agma has a known interaction with 258 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Leucine Agma contains 2 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 does agmatine do in this formula?
Agmatine is an amino acid compound included to support athletic and cognitive function. The evidence for it in conditions like athletic performance and anxiety is insufficient to rate, so we can't confirm how well it works for any specific use.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data for either pregnancy or breastfeeding, so the evidence advises against use during both. Talk with your doctor about safer options for your situation.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common are diarrhea, indigestion, and nausea. In small trials, these appeared within a few days of starting and went away when people stopped taking it. Short-term use appears well tolerated, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied.
Why can't you check leucine for interactions?
We hold no interaction data for leucine, so we can't verify whether it interacts with medications. Our agmatine data covers 258 individual drugs, but leucine remains unchecked in our system.
Is this product safe to use long-term?
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated. However, long-term safety in humans hasn't been well studied, so extended use warrants caution. Discuss duration of use with your pharmacist or doctor.
