Pump of the Gods - Non-Stim Pre Workout

When Nitric Oxide (NO) triggers vasodilation, more blood flows through the blood vessels. Increased blood flow effectively aids in better nutrient delivery, hormone transport, waste removal, 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 provided to the muscle, the longer you stay anabolic, as there is a constant energy supply. 

Blood also carries hormones such as insulin and testosterone, crucial for muscle growth. Insulin helps transport 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 vital 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 oxygen delivery will help remove these waste products more efficiently, reducing their inhibitory effects.

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

After ingestion, L-citrulline is converted into an amino acid called l-arginine. In the body, l-arginine 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 as a 'pump' is increased. 

L-norvaline is a non-essential amino acid not produced by the human body. It has been extensively studied for its role in supporting nitric oxide production and inhibiting Arginine. 

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

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

The pump of the Gods contains Beta-Alanine, proven to increase strength and endurance. It is a non-essential amino acid that is naturally produced within the body. Alanine effectively increases Carnosine concentrations within the muscle. Carnosine is a molecule that buffers against the 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 are increased. 

Intense exercise can produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which causes oxidative stress and damages cells. Grape seed extract's high antioxidant content may help neutralise ROS, potentially reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress and inflammation and aiding in recovery and endurance. 

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

Taurine is an amino acid 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 naturally found within the brain. It is a source of choline, a precursor to Acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter is crucial in many brain functions, including memory and muscle control. Supplementation of Alpha GPC increases levels of Acetylcholine in the brain, which has been shown to enhance athletic and cognitive performance through increased mind and muscle connection. 

L-tyrosine is a precursor to several vital 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 (mainly dopamine) and enhance the dopaminergic system by supplementing L-tyrosine. This is due to the increased raw material required to synthesise dopamine, leading to decreased fatigue and improved cognitive function.
