HelloPharmacist Scorecard of LG5 PRO by All American EFX
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
LG5 PRO is a liquid supplement with 8 active ingredients. The main players are taurine and glutamine (supplied as both Glutamine Hydrochloride and Dextro-Cyclodized Glutamine), plus aspartic acid — all amino acids tied to muscle recovery and athletic performance.
The product also contains fat and fiber for nutritional support and includes a proprietary delivery system called pH-Xact to help your body absorb and use these ingredients. The supplement's "LG5 Amplifying Matrix" is a blend of components listed separately, so you're getting their combined effect rather than one mystery ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for what this product actually does is limited and mixed. For athletic performance, muscle strength, and fatigue, aspartic acid shows insufficient evidence — we simply don't have reliable data showing it works.
Taurine is possibly effective for congestive heart failure (low ejection fraction) and possibly ineffective for weight loss. Glutamine (in both forms here) is rated effective for sickle cell disease and possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, trauma recovery, and bounce-back after surgery — though those last two are based on limited evidence.
Bottom line: if you're taking this for general athletic performance or energy, the science backing these amino acids is sparse.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Taurine is generally well tolerated in typical doses for up to a year, though long-term safety data is thinner. The most common side effects are constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion.
Rare allergic reactions have been reported, especially in people sensitive to sulfites or sulfonamides. Glutamine (both forms) is also generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but common side effects include bloating, gas, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain — particularly at higher doses.
A handful of case reports describe dizziness, headache, and mood changes (mania or hypomania) in people with bipolar disorder. Aspartic acid in supplement doses hasn't been well studied for long-term safety.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on anticonvulsant (seizure) medications — glutamine may reduce their effect. If you take blood pressure medications or lithium, taurine can interact with both.
Blood pressure drugs may cause your pressure to drop too far; lithium levels may climb and become unsafe. These are the main flags to run through your own healthcare provider.
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.
LG5 PRO is an amino acid blend aimed at muscle recovery and athletic performance, but evidence that it works for those goals is sparse. The real concern is its interactions with blood pressure and seizure medications, and especially with lithium — if you're on any of those, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this.
If you have kidney or liver disease, glutamine warrants medical supervision. It's generally well tolerated otherwise, but gas, bloating, and stomach upset are common.

Dextro-Cyclodized(TM) Glutamine & Amplifying Matrix
Glutamine has been scientifically shown to be a poorly absorbed compound due to the “glutamine hungry” cells in the lining of the stomach. Therefore, vast amounts get trapped and do NOT get into your bloodstream in sufficient quantities to “feed” your muscles with its intense anabolic/anti-catabolic properties.

LG5 PRO by All American EFX Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
LG5 PRO by All American EFX contains several ingredients with documented medication interactions.
Through its taurine and glutamine content (Glutamine Hydrochloride and Dextro-Cyclodized Glutamine), this product can affect how your medications work. The most serious interaction is with anticonvulsant drugs (seizure medications) — both glutamine forms may theoretically reduce their effectiveness, though this hasn't been confirmed in humans yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Taurine carries Moderate interactions with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) and lithium. With blood pressure drugs, taurine may lower your pressure further, stacking effects.
With lithium, taurine's diuretic-like action might reduce how your body clears the drug, raising lithium levels in your blood — a concern because lithium has a narrow safety window.
Aspartic acid was checked but shows no documented interactions. We could not check fat, fiber, sugar esters, or ribonucleic acid — no data is on file for these.
Altogether, these interactions span 222 individual medications. Before starting this product, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to see if any are affected.
