HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Steam Blue Raspberry by Rivalus
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
Steam Blue Raspberry contains 6 active ingredients. The main players are amino acids: L-glutamine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, and L-citrulline — all of which support muscle protein and recovery.
Citrulline Malate is another form of citrulline bonded to malic acid. The product also lists two proprietary blends — a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) blend and a nitric oxide and recovery blend — both made up of ingredients already named on the label.
The rest is inactive ingredients: natural and artificial flavors, citric acid, malic acid, sodium chloride, potassium citrate, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, vitamin B6, and FD&C Blue #1.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
L-glutamine has strong evidence supporting its use in sickle cell disease and is possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related wasting, postoperative recovery, and critical illness from trauma. L-citrulline is possibly effective for athletic performance but possibly ineffective for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
The data we hold is insufficient to rate L-citrulline for cardiovascular disease, heart failure, Reye syndrome, or diabetes.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
L-glutamine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though people with kidney or liver disease should use it only under a doctor's supervision. The most common side effects from glutamine are gastrointestinal: belching, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting.
Headache and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported. Rare cases of dizziness and even mania or hypomania in people with bipolar disorder have occurred, though dizziness resolved when the dose was lowered.
L-citrulline is generally well tolerated, with gastrointestinal discomfort and heartburn being the most common side effects. A small number of people with pulmonary hypertension reported cough.
For pregnancy, the safety data advises against L-glutamine and L-citrulline in pregnancy and breastfeeding; there isn't enough data to know either way with L-glutamine during lactation — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data for the other amino acids in this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against this product if you take anticonvulsant drugs (seizure medications) — L-glutamine may theoretically interfere with how they work. Also double-check if you're on blood pressure medications or phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors like sildenafil or tadalafil, since L-citrulline might add to their blood-pressure-lowering effect.
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 is an amino acid supplement designed for athletic performance and muscle recovery. If you take anticonvulsants, blood pressure medications, or erectile dysfunction drugs, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.
People with kidney or liver disease should discuss this with their doctor first. Otherwise, talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about whether it's right for you.

Steam Blue Raspberry by Rivalus Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Steam Blue Raspberry by Rivalus contains two ingredients with documented interactions with medications: L-glutamine and L-citrulline.
The most serious concern is L-glutamine with anticonvulsant medications (drugs used to prevent seizures). Glutamine is broken down in your body to glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter that theoretically might work against how anticonvulsants do their job — though this hasn't been reported in humans yet, it's a Moderate-severity interaction worth knowing about.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
L-citrulline presents Moderate interactions with two drug types: antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications) and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis). L-citrulline converts to L-arginine in your body, which increases nitric oxide and relaxes blood vessels.
Combined with blood pressure drugs or ED medications, this could theoretically add up to a bigger drop in blood pressure than intended, though a small clinical study suggests the real-world effect may be modest.
We were unable to check three other ingredients in this product — L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine — because we hold no interaction data for them. The blend containers themselves don't add separate interactions; their components are the ones listed.
Altogether, these interactions span 225 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your specific drugs before you start.

For each ingredient in Steam Blue Raspberry 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.
L-Citrulline
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.
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.
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.
