HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Leucine Agma Fruit Smoothie 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.

This powder contains 2 active ingredients: leucine and agmatine. Leucine is an amino acid that plays a role in muscle protein building and recovery.

Agmatine is a compound derived from arginine, an amino acid also involved in circulation and other metabolic functions. The product also contains several inactive ingredients—pH buffering agents, taurine, silica, citric acid, flavoring, malic acid, gum arabic, and food colorings—that make up the smoothie powder base.

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 physique.
  • We looked for evidence on: Muscle strength, Athletic performance, muscle hypertrophy, muscle recovery, 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 supporting agmatine for the conditions it's marketed for—including anxiety, athletic performance, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, alcohol use disorder, and Alzheimer disease—is insufficient to establish whether it works. For leucine, we hold no effectiveness data on file.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current evidence supports it 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 to be generally well tolerated during short-term use. The most common side effects reported are diarrhea, upset stomach (dyspepsia), and nausea; in small studies, mild-to-moderate diarrhea and nausea showed up in a small number of participants and typically resolved when they stopped taking it.

However, long-term safety in humans is not well studied, so we don't know how it holds up over months or years. There is not enough safety data to recommend agmatine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product. We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety information 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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood pressure–lowering drugs (antihypertensives)—agmatine may raise your risk of excessively low blood pressure. Also verify any diabetes medications you take, since agmatine may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

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.

This product is designed for people looking to support muscle recovery and athletic performance, but the evidence for agmatine in these areas is not established. If you take blood pressure–lowering medications or diabetes drugs, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first—agmatine may increase the risk of low blood pressure or low blood sugar when combined with them.

Short-term side effects are typically mild, but long-term safety isn't well understood, and it's not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

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.

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 is agmatine, and what's it supposed to do?
Agmatine is a compound made from the amino acid arginine. It's included in this product because some early research suggests it may support athletic performance and other functions, but the evidence in humans is not yet solid enough to confirm whether it actually works for these purposes.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on agmatine in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it in those situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common side effects are diarrhea, upset stomach, and nausea. In small studies, these were mild to moderate and went away once people stopped taking it. Serious side effects are not documented in the data we hold.
Will this work for athletic performance?
The evidence for agmatine in athletic performance is not established in the data we hold. If you're looking to improve your workout results, talk with your doctor or fitness professional about whether this supplement is the right fit for your goals.
What's leucine and why is it in here?
Leucine is an amino acid that plays a role in muscle protein building and recovery. It's a common ingredient in muscle-support supplements, though we don't hold effectiveness data specific to this product.
How long is it safe to take this?
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated, but long-term safety in humans hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking of taking it for months or longer, check in with your doctor or pharmacist first.
