What’s inside

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 2 active ingredients.

NitroPro Orange Creamsicle is a protein powder with one active ingredient: sodium. The product also contains whey protein isolates and concentrate, a proprietary NitroPro blend, and inactive ingredients like xanthan gum and cellulose gum for texture and stability.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle protein synthesis and athletic recovery.
  • We looked for evidence on: muscle growth, sports performance, post-workout recovery.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

Sodium is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for preventing kidney damage from amphotericin B therapy. For bipolar disorder and congestive heart failure, we don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to rate its effectiveness.

Keep in mind this is a flavored powder — the amount of sodium and its intended use depend on how your doctor or dietitian has directed you to use it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Sodium

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium in normal dietary amounts is well tolerated. The safety notes in our data stress that while sodium is essential in small amounts, too much is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain.

Avoid sodium supplements or very high intake without medical advice. Rare serious adverse effects from excess sodium can include worsened cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.

For pregnancy and lactation, the data shows likely safety for one scenario but possibly unsafe for another — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Label statements
These statements are the manufacturer’s wording, reproduced from the product label — the label is saying it, not HelloPharmacist. We don’t verify or endorse them.
General Statements

1) An increased Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) from the protein we ingest. NNU refers to protein synthesis and anabolism form protein. NitroPro(R) has a NNU of 6X normal whey. 2) Consists of 75% Peptide-Bound Amino Acids (PBAA’s), which are absorbed more quickly and increase nitrogen retention by 16x compared to free-form amino acids. 3) Partial hydrolysis of protein with a proprietary process where systemically reduced protein molecules are abated from 20,000 Daltons in size to 400-1,000 Daltons.

Hydrolyzing is a process in which intact proteins are strategically broken down into smaller fragments, called peptides, for faster delivery and easier utilization by your body. Hi-Tech's exclusive combination of mild, moderate, and ultra-hydrolyzed proteins results in di- and tri-peptides, while retaining select microfractions naturally found in whey.

All proteins are made up of amino acids, but not all amino acids are of equal importance. The three BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) - are particularly beneficial for athletes because they assist with new muscle protein synthesis and protect the muscle that you already have agains breakdown. Even more important is the amount of PBAAs.

Provide your body with protein scientifically suggested to dynamically increase explosive power, strength and lean muscle mass.

By combining the absolute finest ingredients with a series of highly specialized processing techniques, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals has created its most revolutionary muscle-building protein yet.

This enhanced delivery system relieves the metabolic burden on muscle having to supply all organs and tissues with these amino acids. This leaves a more potent supply of critical amino acids within muscle and promotes a more constant, uninterrupted state of protein synthesis, cell volume, and muscle anabolism.

The result is a product that is ultra-pure, quickly digested, and packed with muscle-building and replenishing amino acids.

Nitropro has a biological value (BV) of 159, protein digestibility of 95, and a perfect 1.0 PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score).

- Reduces protein molecules from 20,000 daltons to 400-1,000 daltons- drastically improving absorbability! - Possesses AN/TN ratio 500% greater than other protein-eviscerating the competition! - Promotes anabolism by shuttling amino acids essential for protein systhesis directly into the muscle tissue

Low in fat and carbs

Nitro = Nitrogen Balance...Pro = Protein Synthesis.

- Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) of 6 times that of ordinary whey

Not a significant source of dietary fiber

By hydrolyzing the protein in this revolutionary formula we've created the fastest-acting whey protein yet. Hydrolyzing breaks larger proteins down into smaller pieces that are able to get into your system rapidly, enabling your muscles to start rebuilding immediately.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in NitroPro Orange Creamsicle - Flavor 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.

Dietary Fiber7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Ethinyl Estradiol

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Dietary Fiber full monograph & interactions

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

NitroPro Orange Creamsicle - Flavor by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals: Common Questions

Does NitroPro Orange Creamsicle - Flavor by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, NitroPro Orange Creamsicle - Flavor has a known interaction with 2,035 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
NitroPro Orange Creamsicle - Flavor contains 4 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.
Is this just table salt?
Not exactly — this is a protein powder flavored with orange creamsicle that contains sodium as its active ingredient. It's not meant to be a salt substitute or a way to get extra sodium on your own. Your doctor or dietitian would prescribe it if you specifically need sodium supplementation for a medical condition.
Will this raise my blood pressure?
High sodium intake can increase blood pressure and may reduce how well blood pressure medications work. If you have high blood pressure or take blood pressure medicine, talk with your doctor before using a sodium supplement.
Can I take this if I'm on lithium?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Changes in sodium intake — including from supplements — can shift how much lithium stays in your blood, which could cause toxicity. Your lithium levels need to stay steady, so any change in sodium intake needs to be coordinated with your prescriber.
What's in this powder besides sodium?
The product contains whey protein isolates and concentrate, a proprietary NitroPro blend, natural and artificial flavoring, and binders like xanthan gum and cellulose gum. The inactive ingredients help with texture and shelf life.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Our data shows mixed ratings — likely safe for one situation but possibly unsafe for another. This is an individual decision that needs input from your doctor or midwife. Don't start sodium supplementation in pregnancy or while nursing without their guidance.
How much sodium is in a serving?
The product facts don't specify a serving size or milligrams of sodium per serving. Check the nutrition label on the package itself, and talk with your pharmacist or the company if you need exact numbers for your medical care.
