HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultra Nox by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Ultra Nox contains five active ingredients. Vitamin B12 supports energy and nerve health.

L-citrulline is an amino acid that may help athletic performance by boosting blood flow. Agmatine sulfate is a compound derived from the amino acid arginine, included for possible effects on exercise capacity.

Nitrosigine is a compound we have no interaction data on file for. Terminalia arjuna bark extract comes from a traditional Ayurvedic plant and is added for cardiovascular support.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and several others — which serve as fillers, binders, and coating materials to hold the tablet together and protect it.

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: Support workout performance, pumps and endurance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Physical performance, Fatigue, Muscle strength, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Cardiovascular disease (CVD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: L-citrulline is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin B12 is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Physical performance.
  • Also on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Hypertension.

The evidence here is mixed and mostly limited. Vitamin B12 is effective for treating B12 deficiency and certain neurological conditions, and it's considered likely effective for cyanide poisoning.

L-citrulline is possibly effective for athletic performance but possibly ineffective for muscle loss (sarcopenia). For agmatine, terminalia arjuna, and several other uses listed — including heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, and others — the evidence we hold isn't strong enough to rate either way.

If any of these are your main reason for choosing this product, talk with us about what the research actually supports for your goal.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin B12 L-citrulline Agmatine Terminalia

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 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin B12 is generally very well tolerated with no established upper limit — your body excretes excess. It's considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding at recommended doses.

L-citrulline and agmatine are generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects with L-citrulline and agmatine are gastrointestinal — heartburn, stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea — and a small number of people reported cough with L-citrulline.

Rare allergic reactions to B12 (rash, itching) have been reported, and in one case, oral B12 caused contact dermatitis in someone with a cobalt allergy. During pregnancy, L-citrulline and agmatine safety data is insufficient, so the recommendation is to avoid them.

Terminalia arjuna also lacks enough safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding — avoid supplemental use in both. There isn't enough data on file for B12 pregnancy and breastfeeding safety — discuss your situation with your doctor or pharmacist.

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?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Terminalia, Vitamin B12, L-citrulline, Agmatine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,049 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 with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) — Terminalia arjuna may increase bleeding risk (Moderate). Also double-check blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, medications processed through your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 pathways, omeprazole (Prilosec), chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte), and metformin (Glucophage) — this product has documented interactions with all of them (mostly Moderate severity, one Minor).

No interactions are documented for Nitrosigine because we hold no data for it.

Oxyjun Terminalia arjuna bark extract7 drug types · 933 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia arjuna with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding in some patients.
In vitro, Terminalia arjuna bark extract inhibits platelet aggregation, decreases platelet activation, and shows antithrombotic properties.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia bellirica or Terminalia chebula with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and in vitro research shows that Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula fruit and seed extract have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from chlorzoxazone.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of chlorzoxazone increases blood levels of chlorzoxazone and decreases chlorzoxazone clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of chlorzoxazone by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2E1.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes and reduces CYP2C9 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes and reduces CYP2D6 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and reduces CYP3A4 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Omeprazole (Prilosec)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from omeprazole.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of omeprazole increases blood levels of omeprazole and decreases omeprazole clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of omeprazole by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C19.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Agmatine Sulfate2 drug types · 258 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, agmatine might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vitro research suggest that agmatine has mild hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, agmatine might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that agmatine can modestly decrease heart rate and blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

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

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.

Ultra Nox by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance: Common Questions

Does Ultra Nox by GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ultra Nox has a known interaction with 1,048 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ultra Nox contains 5 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 safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
L-citrulline, agmatine, and Terminalia arjuna all lack enough safety data — the recommendation is to avoid them during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Vitamin B12 safety data isn't on file here either, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you right now.
What does L-citrulline do in this product?
L-citrulline is an amino acid that gets converted in your body to another amino acid, which helps relax blood vessels and boost blood flow. That's why it's included for athletic performance — it may help oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles better during exercise.
What are the most common side effects?
Most people tolerate this well, but the most common side effects are gastrointestinal — heartburn, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, and nausea. These tend to be mild and sometimes fade after a few days, though a small number of people stopped use because of them.
Does this actually work for muscle performance?
L-citrulline is possibly effective for athletic performance according to the evidence we hold — that's the strongest claim we can make. The other ingredients have insufficient evidence or haven't been well-studied for performance in humans, so results may vary.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
You need to check first. L-citrulline and agmatine can theoretically lower blood pressure further, which might cause dizziness or fainting. Run your specific blood pressure drug through the interaction checker on this page, or ask your pharmacist.
What's Terminalia arjuna in here for?
It's a traditional plant extract included for possible cardiovascular benefits. The evidence isn't established enough in our data to say whether it works for heart health, but it does have a moderate number of documented drug interactions — especially with blood thinners and drugs your liver processes.
