HelloPharmacist Scorecard of N'Gage Glacier Punch 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
Full disclosure
N'Gage Glacier Punch contains 5 active ingredients: L-glutamine and three branched-chain amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine), plus vitamin B6 and a proprietary blend called 2:1:1 AjiPure Instantized BCAAs. These are amino acids your body uses to build and repair muscle tissue.
The product also contains inactive ingredients—natural and artificial flavors, sucralose (an artificial sweetener), and lecithin (an emulsifier).
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
L-glutamine is effective for sickle cell disease and possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, recovery after surgery, and critical illness from trauma. Vitamin B6 is effective for sideroblastic anemia (a blood disorder), vitamin B6 deficiency itself, and a rare condition called pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy.
It's likely effective for high homocysteine levels and possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. We hold no effectiveness data for the branched-chain amino acids in this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
L-glutamine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults but requires medical supervision if you have kidney or liver disease. There isn't enough safety data to recommend supplemental doses unless your doctor advises it, and while it's rated Likely Safe in pregnancy, there isn't enough information to recommend it while breastfeeding without a clinician's input.
The most common side effects are digestive—belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting—along with headache and muscle pain. Two people with bipolar disorder taking 4 grams daily experienced mania or hypomania.
Vitamin B6 is well tolerated at doses under 100 mg daily but can damage nerves (sensory neuropathy) at high doses, especially 1000 mg daily or more or cumulative doses of 1,000 grams or more. Common side effects include headache, heartburn, nausea, and stomach pain.
It's Likely Safe in pregnancy at recommended levels (often used for morning sickness under a doctor's guidance) and Likely Safe while breastfeeding, though one piece of evidence flagged a possible increased cancer risk at higher intakes—talk with your doctor about what's right for you. We hold no safety information on file for L-leucine, L-isoleucine, or L-valine.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take anticonvulsant medications (phenytoin, phenobarbital, or others), blood pressure medications, amiodarone, or levodopa. Vitamin B6 at high doses can reduce how well some of these drugs work or make their side effects worse.
No interactions are documented in our data for L-leucine, L-isoleucine, or L-valine.
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 is meant for muscle recovery and support, and its amino acids are well studied for that purpose. If you take any prescription medication—especially anticonvulsants, blood pressure drugs, amiodarone, or levodopa—you need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement, because vitamin B6 and possibly L-glutamine can interfere with how those drugs work.
People with kidney or liver disease should also get medical clearance first.

N'Gage Glacier Punch by Axis Labs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
N'Gage Glacier Punch by Axis Labs contains L-glutamine and vitamin B6, both of which interact with medications.
The most serious concern is vitamin B6's potential to reduce the effectiveness of two anticonvulsant drugs—phenytoin and phenobarbital—by increasing how your liver metabolizes them; this is a Moderate-severity interaction that shows up at high doses (200 mg daily or more). L-glutamine carries a separate Moderate-severity concern with anticonvulsants generally, though this hasn't been reported in humans yet.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Vitamin B6 also interacts with blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), amiodarone (an antiarrhythmic for heart rhythm), and levodopa (for Parkinson's disease). With blood pressure medications and amiodarone, the interaction is Moderate in severity; with levodopa, it's Minor and only occurs if you're taking levodopa alone without carbidopa.
L-glutamine's other potential effect involves anticonvulsant medications specifically—theoretically it may work against them because it breaks down into an excitatory brain chemical.
We could not check three other amino acids in this product: L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. Altogether, these interactions span 249 individual medications.

For each ingredient in N'Gage Glacier Punch with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Vitamin B6
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Phenobarbital (Luminal)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Levodopa
Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.
L-Glutamine
Anticonvulsants
Theoretically, glutamine might antagonize the effects of anticonvulsant medications.
Glutamine is metabolized to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Glutamate might have antagonistic effects with anticonvulsant drugs. However, this interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
