HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Power Protein Berry Flavored by Frog Fuel

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 9 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (15 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

Power Protein Berry Flavored contains nine ingredients, including sodium, potassium, and several amino acids: taurine, tryptophan, cysteine, methionine, glutamine, and histidine. There's also a proprietary blend (its exact composition isn't fully disclosed) and enzyme hydrolyzed collagen protein.

These active ingredients support protein intake and amino acid nutrition. The product also contains inactive ingredients — water, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, natural flavors, and sucralose — that serve as the base, preservative, and sweetener.

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: Lean muscle support and wound healing.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Physical performance, Critical illness (trauma), Burns — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Critical illness (trauma) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Postoperative recovery.
  • Also on file: Glutamine is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance, Burns.

The facts we hold don't establish effectiveness for this product as a whole. Looking at individual ingredients: glutamine is rated Effective for sickle cell disease and Possibly Effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting and recovery from surgery or critical illness.

Taurine is rated Possibly Effective for hepatitis and congestive heart failure but Possibly Ineffective for obesity. Tryptophan is rated Possibly Ineffective for depression; evidence for anxiety, athletic performance, and other uses is insufficient.

Methionine shows Possibly Effective evidence for neural tube birth defects but insufficient evidence for other conditions. Histidine is Possibly Effective for cholera.

For most of these ingredients and the product itself, the evidence base is limited or not established.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Potassium Taurine L-tryptophan Methionine Glutamine Histidine

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 6 of the 7 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 7 of 7.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 7 of 7.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium in typical dietary amounts is fine, but this product contributes to your total daily intake; too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain. Potassium from food is safe, but supplemental amounts can dangerously raise blood potassium levels, especially in people with kidney disease — use only under medical guidance.

Taurine is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety is less certain, and one case report linked taurine-containing energy drinks (with multiple ingredients) to serious heart issues. Tryptophan can cause common side effects like drowsiness, nausea, diarrhea, and headache; it has a historical safety concern from contaminated batches in 1989, though modern supplies are monitored.

Glutamine typically causes mild digestive side effects (gas, bloating, diarrhea) but is generally well tolerated. Methionine is safe in food amounts; high-dose supplements may cause dizziness, vomiting, and low blood pressure.

Histidine safety at supplement doses is not well established.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Potassium Taurine L-tryptophan Methionine Glutamine Histidine

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 5 of the 7 matched ingredients can interact with medications — L-tryptophan, Potassium, Glutamine, Taurine, Sodium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: seizure medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 612 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 Power Protein Berry Flavored, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any of these medication types. Most serious: CNS depressants (sleep aids, sedatives, opioids, alcohol) because tryptophan may intensify drowsiness.

Also check: blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — sodium and taurine may reduce their effect or cause low blood pressure; blood potassium medications (potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs) — potassium may cause dangerous high levels; lithium — sodium and taurine may alter its blood levels; seizure medications (anticonvulsants) — glutamine may interfere; serotonergic drugs (antidepressants, migraine medications) — tryptophan may raise serotonin side effects; and corticosteroids, didanosine, sodium phosphates, or tolvaptan — sodium may increase risk of high sodium levels. No interactions are documented for cysteine and enzyme hydrolyzed collagen protein in our data.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a protein supplement with amino acids that may appeal to people looking for convenient protein intake, especially those interested in ingredients like glutamine (supported for certain serious conditions) or taurine. However, it's not suitable for people on blood pressure medications, lithium, seizure medications, or CNS depressants without checking first — the sodium, potassium, and active amino acids carry real interaction risks.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product fits your medications and health situation before you start.

For each ingredient in Power Protein Berry Flavored 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.

Tryptophan2 drug types · 394 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of L-tryptophan with CNS depressants might cause additive sedative effects.
Clinical research shows that L-tryptophan can cause fatigue and drowsiness.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Serotonergic Drugs

Theoretically, combining L-tryptophan with serotonergic drugs might cause additive serotonergic effects.
L-tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin. Theoretically, combining serotonergic drugs with L-tryptophan might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects, including serotonin syndrome and cerebral vasoconstrictive disorders.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tryptophan 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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Sodium full monograph & interactions

Taurine2 drug types · 173 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taurine might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical evidence suggests that taurine can reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taurine might reduce excretion and increase plasma levels of lithium.
Taurine is thought to have diuretic properties, which might reduce the excretion of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Taurine full monograph & interactions

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium full monograph & interactions

Glutamine1 drug type · 50 drugs

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.

Power Protein Berry Flavored by Frog Fuel: Common Questions

Does Power Protein Berry Flavored by Frog Fuel interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Power Protein Berry Flavored has a known interaction with 612 medications, including 248 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Power Protein Berry Flavored contains 10 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.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety varies by ingredient. Sodium, potassium, glutamine, and methionine are rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and/or lactation. Tryptophan is Likely Safe in pregnancy but Possibly Unsafe during breastfeeding — the safety data advises against it while nursing. Taurine is Likely Safe overall. Because the product contains multiple ingredients with different safety profiles, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding for personalized advice.
What are the most common side effects?
Side effects depend on which ingredient affects you most. Tryptophan commonly causes drowsiness, nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Potassium may cause abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, and nausea. Glutamine often causes gas, bloating, and digestive upset. Taurine typically causes constipation or diarrhea. Methionine may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Most people tolerate these ingredients in typical amounts, but individual reactions vary.
Does this product actually work for muscle building or recovery?
The facts we hold don't establish whether this product as a whole supports muscle building or recovery. Individual ingredients like glutamine show Possibly Effective evidence for postoperative recovery and recovery from trauma, but evidence for general athletic performance or muscle gain is insufficient or not established in the data we have.
Is there a lot of sodium in this product?
The product facts don't specify the sodium amount per serving, so you'd need to check the nutrition label. What matters is that if you're on blood pressure medications or have heart disease, even moderate sodium intake from foods and supplements adds up — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product fits your sodium limits.
Why can't you check cysteine and collagen protein for drug interactions?
We don't hold monographs (detailed safety and interaction data) for cysteine or enzyme hydrolyzed collagen protein, so we're unable to check them against medications. That doesn't mean they're safe or unsafe — it means the data isn't available to us. If you're on medications and concerned about these ingredients, ask your pharmacist.
