HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky by Bucked Up

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 10 of its 10 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This powder contains 10 active ingredients designed to support physical performance and endurance without caffeine or other stimulants. Sodium and Himalayan rock salt provide electrolytes; beta-alanine may support athletic performance and physical endurance; vitamin B12 supports energy and nerve function; taurine aids muscle recovery; citrulline malate may improve blood flow; alpha-GPC (AlphaSize) supports brain function; ActiGin and AstraGin are plant extracts aimed at performance; and deer velvet extract is included for recovery support.

The blend also contains inactive ingredients like malic acid, citric acid, beet root powder, grape powder, stevia, natural flavors, and silicates for texture and taste.

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: enhance workout performance and recovery.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle breakdown, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Fatigue, muscle endurance, strength gains — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Deer Velvet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Fatigue.
  • Also on file: Vitamin B12 is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fatigue.

Beta-alanine is possibly effective for athletic and physical performance. Vitamin B12 is effective for B12 deficiency and likely effective for cyanide poisoning, with possibly effective evidence for canker sores and nerve pain.

Taurine is possibly effective for hepatitis and congestive heart failure. For the other active ingredients—citrulline malate, ActiGin, AstraGin, and deer velvet extract—the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate their effectiveness for the claims made.

Alpha-GPC (AlphaSize) is possibly effective for Alzheimer disease but lacks sufficient evidence for cognitive function in healthy people.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Beta-alanine Vitamin B12 Taurine Alpha-gpc Deer Velvet

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

Sodium is generally well tolerated at normal dietary levels, but excess intake is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and kidney disease. Beta-alanine is generally well tolerated but commonly causes harmless tingling and flushing of the skin.

Vitamin B12 is very safe and generally well tolerated with no established upper limit. Taurine is generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety at high doses is less certain; it can cause constipation, diarrhea, or stomach upset.

Alpha-GPC is generally well tolerated but carries rare reports of dizziness, headache, and stroke with long-term use. Deer velvet extract appears well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety and product consistency are not well studied.

Beta-alanine, alpha-GPC, and deer velvet should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Taurine is likely safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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?
  • 5 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Deer Velvet, Vitamin B12, Taurine, Alpha-gpc, Sodium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 293 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.

Double-check before starting if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) or lithium—sodium and taurine in this product may reduce their effectiveness or alter lithium levels. Also screen for corticosteroids, didanosine (Videx), sodium phosphates, tolvaptan (Samsca), birth control, estrogen-based drugs, scopolamine (Transderm Scop), or metformin (Glucophage).

For each ingredient in Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky 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.

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

Deer Antler Velvet Extract2 drug types · 52 drugs

Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, deer velvet might interfere with the effectiveness of contraceptive drugs.
Laboratory research shows that deer velvet contains small quantities of estradiol and testosterone. While clinical research shows that taking deer velvet extract does not raise testosterone levels, estradiol levels were not measured.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, deer velvet might increase the effects and side effects of estrogens.
Laboratory evidence shows that deer velvet contains small quantities of estradiol and testosterone. While clinical research shows that taking deer velvet extract does not raise testosterone levels, estradiol levels were not measured.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Deer Antler Velvet Extract full monograph & interactions

Vitamin B121 drug type · 20 drugs

Metformin (Glucophage)

Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Vitamin B12 full monograph & interactions

AlphaSize1 drug type · 16 drugs

Scopolamine (Transderm Scop)

Theoretically, alpha-GPC might decrease the effects of scopolamine.
A small clinical study shows that alpha-GPC can partially counteract the attention and memory impairment effects caused by scopolamine given intramuscularly. Whether alpha-GPC can decrease the beneficial anti-motion sickness effects of the scopolamine patch (Transderm Scop) is unclear.

Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky by Bucked Up: Common Questions

Does Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky by Bucked Up interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky has a known interaction with 293 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pre-Workout Non-Stimulant Raspberry Lime Ricky 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.
Will this give me the tingling feeling I've heard about?
Yes—beta-alanine commonly causes harmless skin tingling and flushing, usually starting on the scalp within 20 minutes and lasting about an hour. How noticeable it is depends on the dose. This is not dangerous, just an expected side effect.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Beta-alanine, alpha-GPC, and deer velvet should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data. Vitamin B12 is safe at normal doses, and taurine is likely safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you before taking it.
Does this actually improve athletic performance?
Beta-alanine is possibly effective for athletic and physical performance based on clinical evidence. The other active ingredients either lack sufficient evidence or don't have well-established effects in healthy people—talk with your trainer or doctor about realistic expectations.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure medication?
Not without checking first. The sodium and taurine in this product may reduce how well your blood pressure medication works. Use the interaction checker on this page to confirm your specific medication, then talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Is there caffeine in this?
No—this is a non-stimulant pre-workout, so there's no caffeine. It's designed to support performance through other ingredients like beta-alanine, taurine, and citrulline malate instead.
What are all those plant extracts—ActiGin, AstraGin, AlphaSize?
ActiGin and AstraGin are plant extracts meant to support athletic performance and nutrient absorption, but we don't have detailed data on their effects. AlphaSize is alpha-GPC, a compound that supports brain function and is possibly effective for Alzheimer disease. Together they're meant to enhance the product's overall performance benefits.
