Pump of the Gods - Non Stim Pre Workout

Pump of the Gods contains no stimulants, only nootropics and dopamine precursors that allow for better cognitive function, mood, focus and mind muscle connection.

Taurine is an amino acid that is found in many tissues throughout the body, especially the brain.

Supplementation of Taurine has been proven to increase cognitive function by acting as a neuromodulator for several neurotransmitter systems, including Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), glutamate, dopamine and serotonin. 

Alpha GPC (L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine) is a compound that is naturally found within the brain. It is a source of choline, which is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in many brain functions including memory and muscle control. Supplementation of Alpha GPC increases levels of Acetylcholine in the brain which has shown to enhance athletic and cognitive performance through increase mind and muscle connection. 

L-Tyrosine is a precursor to several key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin and epinephrine. These neurotransmitters are crucial for regulating mood, cognition and the body's response to stress. Intense exercise has been proven to decrease these important neurotransmitters (especially dopamine) and by supplementing L-Tyrosine the dopaminergic system is enhanced. This is due to the increase in raw material required to synthesis dopamine leading to decrease in fatigue and increase in cognitive function. 

Pump of the Gods contains Beta Alanine which has been proven to increase strength and endurance. It is a non essential amino acid that is naturally produced within the body, Beta Alanine effectively increases Carnosine concentrations within the muscle. Carnosine is a molecule that buffers against accumulation of hydrogen ions during high-intensity training. Accumulation of these ions is referred to as lactic acid, which presents as a burning sensation within the muscle. By buffering Lactic Acid training volume, capacity and duration is increased. 

Intense exercise can lead to the production of Reactive Oxygen Specifies (ROS), which causes oxidative stress and damage cells. The high antioxidant content of Grape Seed Extract may help neutralise ROS, potentially reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress and inflammation aiding in recovery and endurance. 

Pump of the Gods contains 6000-12000mg of Nitric Oxide (NO) boosting L-citrulline Malate, which is a compound where the amino acid L-citrulline is combined with malate, another compound that is heavily involved in the bodies Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)/ Energy Production. 

After ingestion L-citrulline is converted into an amino acid called l-arginine which in the body is a precursor to nitric oxide, a molecule that helps dilate or widen blood vessels. By increasing nitric oxide levels, blood flow is enhanced and what is referred to a 'pump' is increased. 

L-norvaline is not produced by the human body and is referred to as a non-essential amino acid. It has been extensively studies in the role of supporting nitric oxide production in the body and inhibiting Arginase.  

Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been found to promote vasodilation or widening of blood vessels. This can enhance the blood flow to the muscle and improve delivery of nutrients, oxygen and the removal of waste products like lactic acid and carbon dioxide.

Creatine Monohydrate is osmotic in nature, meaning it pulls water into the muscle cells. This water retention will directly influence your blood volume and indirectly influence blood flow. 

When Nitric Oxide (NO) triggers vasodilation, it allows for more blood to flow through the blood vessels. Increased blood flow effectively aids in: better nutrient delivery, hormone transport, removal of waste, and oxygen delivery. 

Enhanced nutrient delivery of glucose and amino acids is vital for recovery and Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)- the process by which new muscle proteins are created. The more nutrients that is provided to the muscle ensures that you stay anabolic for longer, as there is a constant supply of energy. 

Blood also carries hormones such as insulin and testosterone, which are crucial for muscle growth. Insulin helps transport the glucose and amino acids into the muscle cells and testosterone promotes MPS. Therefore, increased blood flow from NO boosting ingredients (such as L-citrulline) can facilitate the delivery of these important muscle growth hormones. 

During exercise, muscle generates metabolic waste products such as lactic acids and carbon dioxide. These waste products can limit exercise performance and muscle growth. Increased blood flow and the increased oxygen delivery that comes with it will help remove these waste products more efficiently reducing their inhibitory effects.
