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: athletic and exercise performance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Physical performance, Exercise-induced muscle breakdown, Muscle strength, Endurance, Muscle fatigue — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beta-alanine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Physical performance.
  • Also on file: L-citrulline is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance.

Beta-Alanine is rated Possibly Effective for athletic performance and physical performance. L-Citrulline is also rated Possibly Effective for athletic performance.

Alpha-GPC is rated Possibly Effective for Alzheimer disease. For other claims—cognitive function, heart health, or blood sugar control—the evidence we hold is either insufficient to rate or the ingredient isn't studied for that purpose.

We have no effectiveness data on file for Betaine Nitrate, VasoDrive-AP, Hydromax, or AstraGin.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Beta-alanine L-citrulline Alpha-gpc

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Beta-Alanine and L-Citrulline are generally well tolerated in healthy adults. Beta-Alanine commonly causes a harmless tingling sensation (paresthesia) and skin flushing, usually on the scalp within 20 minutes, spreading across the body for about an hour—mild at lower doses, more noticeable at higher ones.

L-Citrulline may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or heartburn in some users. Alpha-GPC is also generally well tolerated, though rarely it's been associated with dizziness, headache, and insomnia.

Orally, alpha-GPC used for 2 months or longer has rarely been linked to an elevated stroke risk compared with non-users. For pregnancy and breastfeeding: the safety data advises against Beta-Alanine, L-Citrulline, and Alpha-GPC during pregnancy and lactation because there isn't enough information.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Alpha-gpc, L-citrulline.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 194 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 medications against these types before you start: blood pressure drugs (Moderate), ED medications like sildenafil and tadalafil (Moderate), and motion-sickness patches containing scopolamine (Minor). We could not check Betaine Nitrate, VasoDrive-AP, Hydromax, or AstraGin for interactions.

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.

If you take blood pressure medication or ED drugs, talk to your pharmacist before starting this product—L-Citrulline can interact with both. It's aimed at people seeking athletic performance support, but the evidence for most ingredients is limited.

Long-term safety isn't fully established for several components, so this isn't a long-term daily supplement without checking first.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
L-Citrulline full monograph & interactions

Alpha-GPC1 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.

PUMP Fun Sweets Cotton Candy Cherry Berry by Core Nutritionals: Common Questions

Does PUMP Fun Sweets Cotton Candy Cherry Berry by Core Nutritionals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, PUMP Fun Sweets Cotton Candy Cherry Berry has a known interaction with 194 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
PUMP Fun Sweets Cotton Candy Cherry Berry contains 7 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.
What's the tingling feeling I've heard about with this product?
That's Beta-Alanine causing paresthesia—a harmless pins-and-needles sensation, usually starting on your scalp within 20 minutes and spreading to your body for about an hour. It's milder at lower doses and more noticeable at higher ones. It goes away on its own and isn't dangerous.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure medication?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. L-Citrulline in this powder can lower blood pressure, so combined with your medication, you could drop too low. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
Is this safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, not based on the safety data we have. There isn't enough information about the key ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so the data advises against use. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning either.
Does this really improve athletic performance?
Beta-Alanine and L-Citrulline are rated Possibly Effective for athletic performance and physical performance—meaning the evidence suggests they may help, but it's not definitive. The other ingredients don't have established effectiveness data in our system.
What are VasoDrive-AP, Hydromax, and AstraGin?
Those are branded or proprietary ingredients meant to enhance blood flow and nutrient absorption, but we don't hold interaction or effectiveness data on them in our system. If you have specific questions, ask your pharmacist or check the brand's website.
Can I take this with my ED medication?
No—there's a Moderate interaction risk. L-Citrulline works similarly to ED drugs like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) by dilating blood vessels. Together, they could lower your blood pressure dangerously. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using.
