HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 'Merica 'Minos Blood, Sweat, and Tears by 'Merica Labz

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
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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Branched-Chain Amino Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

'Merica 'Minos Blood, Sweat, and Tears is a 5-ingredient powder built around branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) — which include L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine — plus L-citrulline and elevATP. BCAAs are amino acids your muscles use directly during and after exercise; L-citrulline is converted in your body to L-arginine, which supports nitric oxide production and blood vessel function. elevATP is a proprietary ingredient meant to support cellular energy.

The powder also contains inactive ingredients: citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sucralose, and acesulfame-K.

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 support and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle strength, Sarcopenia, muscle endurance, training support.
  • The strongest evidence on file: L-citrulline is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: L-citrulline is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Sarcopenia.
  • Also on file: L-citrulline is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength.

L-citrulline is possibly effective for athletic performance, meaning some evidence supports its use, though the data isn't conclusive. For sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), it's rated possibly ineffective.

The evidence on L-citrulline for cardiovascular disease, heart failure, Reye syndrome, and diabetes is insufficient to rate, so we can't say whether it helps for those conditions. We hold no effectiveness data for L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, or elevATP.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient L-citrulline

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.

L-citrulline is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though long-term safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal discomfort and heartburn.

A small number of people with pulmonary hypertension reported cough while taking it. Safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not sufficient, so the guidance is to avoid this supplement if you're pregnant or nursing; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient L-citrulline

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 — L-citrulline.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 178 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.

Check your list before taking this product if you use blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs) or erectile dysfunction drugs (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors). Both can have additive effects with L-citrulline, potentially lowering your blood pressure too much.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help athletic performance, but its strength for other uses isn't established. The real concern is L-citrulline's potential to lower blood pressure further or intensify the effects of erectile dysfunction drugs, which matters if you take either of those types.

If you're on any blood pressure medication or PDE-5 inhibitor, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

General Statements

That on this day, in the year of our Lord, all muscles held as slaves to catabolism within any body, the person whereof shall then be in rebellion against the muscle loss, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever jacked. Abraham Lincoln wrote that on January 1, 1863 - proclaiming freedom to all muscles from the tyranny of catabolism. Ok, he didn't. We wrote that. Literally just now. But if Honest Abe had known about the most muscle-sparingest, catabolism-f-you'ing-est, freest frickin' amino acid product this side of the Mason-Dixon, we're sure his words would've been similar.

L-Citrulline2 drug types · 178 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of L-citrulline with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects and increase the chance of hypotension.
L-citrulline is converted to L-arginine, which can increase nitric oxide and cause vasodilation. However, a meta-analysis of 5 small clinical studies suggests that taking L-citrulline 3-6 grams daily for 1-8 weeks does not lower blood pressure when compared with control.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors

Theoretically, concurrent use of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors and L-citrulline might result in additive vasodilation.
L-citrulline is converted to L-arginine, which can increase nitric oxide and cause vasodilation. Theoretically, taking L-arginine with PDE-5 inhibitors might have additive vasodilatory and hypotensive effects. However, in studies evaluating the combined use of L-arginine and sildenafil for erectile dysfunction, hypotension was not reported.
