It advises people with heart disease to avoid horny goat weed. FDA warns that hidden drugs in some products can interact with nitrates. Show the full SodaPeak label to a prescriber first.

Cautions01
What do sources say?
Three points: nettle, horny goat weed and hidden ingredients.
| Topic | Source note |
|---|---|
| Nettle | Animal data: may enhance blood pressure medicines and diuretics (MSK, Nettle) |
| Horny goat weed | Rapid irregular heartbeat reported; avoid with heart disease (MSK, Epimedium) |
| Hidden drugs | Unlisted sildenafil and tadalafil can interact with nitrates and drop blood pressure to dangerous levels (FDA, X10 hidden ingredients notice) |
The nettle note comes from animal data, and its clinical relevance is not known. The nitrate warning concerns one named product and says nothing about SodaPeak.
Why it matters02
Why does it matter in practice?
Because a small shift in blood pressure matters more when you already take medicine to control it.
FDA's notice says nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, are often taken by people with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease. NCCIH says to tell all providers about every supplement (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely).
Names on the SodaPeak label that a source flags:
- Horny goat weed
- Tongkat ali
- Saw palmetto
- Nettle root
- Wild yam
- Sarsaparilla
- Orchic substance
- Boron amino acid chelate
MSK says saw palmetto may increase bruising and bleeding with warfarin and other blood thinners, may add to antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel, and may add to the side effects of NSAIDs. It also lists serious bleeding case reports.
Interaction notes from (NCCIH, Saw Palmetto) (MSK, Saw Palmetto) (MSK, Epimedium) (NIDDK LiverTox, Tongkat Ali) (MSK, Nettle) (MSK, Wild Yam) (MSK, Smilax glabra) (RxList, Orchic Extract). Not a complete list. The label prints no amounts for these names, so nobody can say how strong any effect would be. Ask your pharmacist with the bottle in hand, and never stop or change a prescribed medicine on your own.
Warning signs03
What signs need urgent care?
Chest pain, fainting, a racing or irregular heartbeat, or severe dizziness.
- Liver warning signsYellow skin or eyes, dark or brown urine, belly pain, nausea, unusual weakness or fatigue. FDA lists these among symptoms to seek care for after risky bodybuilding products.

Signs from (FDA, Bodybuilding Products) (FDA, MedWatch). This list is not complete, and a supplement is never a reason to wait.
