PFP Formula Breakdown:

L-Citrulline

A nonessential amino acid naturally made in the human body, L-citrulline is beneficial for much more than making proteins. L-citrulline has direct effect on nitric oxide (NO) production; essentially working to enhance athletic performance and exercise.

Nitric oxide breaks down the amino acid L-arginine and converts it into L-citrulline. By supplementing your body with L-citrulline, your body increases the amount of arginine, thus increasing NO levels. "Higher NO levels may lead to increased blood flow, which means your tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients" (Healthline, 2023).

PurpleForce®

An all-natural, Kenyan purple tea extract that works to improve exercise performance, reduce fatigue, and help maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Purple tea is rich in functional ingredients and polyphenolic compounds such as GHG® which helps inhibit lipid and fat absorption while also boosting fat metabolism.

Additionally, PurpleForce® also works to activate AMPK, an enzyme involved in the homeostasis of the energy cell, promoting energy levels and glucose absorption in the skeletal muscle.

AstraGin™

A natural, plant-based, proprietary compound sourced from Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng. This supplement works to improve nutrient absorption which essentially enhances blood flow, boosts immune system function, and increases oxygen supply to the muscles. AstraGin has also been shown to support lean muscle mass, improve athletic performance, and help improve body composition

CognatiQ®

CognatiQ® is a natural, stimulant-free solution derived from coffee fruit that has been clinically shown to work with our body’s natural pathways to increase BDNF levels.†

BDNF plays a vital role in the development, maintenance, connection, and protection of brain neurons. Low BDNF has been associated with a variety of brain-related health concerns.

L-Tyrosine

Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid the body makes from another amino acid called phenylalanine. It is an essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

5 Benefits to Using a Pump Product

1. Enhanced Blood Flow:

Pump products can significantly improve blood flow to muscles, primarily due to ingredients like citrulline and arginine. Citrulline is a precursor to arginine, which stimulates the production of nitric oxide in the body, leading to vasodilation and widening of blood vessels. This dilation allows for increased blood flow to muscles during exercise, enhancing nutrient delivery and oxygenation.

Additionally, arginine itself is known for its vasodilatory effects, further promoting improved circulation. By including these ingredients, pump products effectively enhance blood flow, facilitating better muscle performance, recovery, and overall workout efficacy.

2. Increased Muscle Pump:

Nitric oxide also serves as a key player in boosting energy and endurance during physical activities. When we exercise, NO production increases, leading to the dilation of blood vessels. This expansion enhances blood flow, ensuring that muscles receive more oxygen and nutrients. As a result, the body becomes more efficient in converting these resources into energy, leading to improved stamina and endurance.

Furthermore, nitric oxide helps regulate the delivery of oxygen to the muscles, reducing fatigue and supporting sustained performance. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often focus on enhancing nitric oxide levels through various methods, such as specific diets or supplements, to optimize energy production and improve overall endurance during workouts.

3. Improved Endurance:

Pump products can enhance endurance during exercise, thanks to ingredients like beta-alanine and citrulline. Beta-alanine increases muscle carnosine levels, which helps buffer lactic acid buildup, delaying fatigue and allowing for longer periods of sustained exertion. Citrulline boosts nitric oxide production, promoting vasodilation and improving blood flow to working muscles.

This increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to muscles, reducing fatigue and improving overall endurance. Together, these ingredients in pump products can help individuals push through intense workouts with greater stamina and efficiency.

4.  Accelerated Recovery:

The improved blood flow facilitated by pump products can also enhance the removal of metabolic waste products like lactic acid from muscles, reducing soreness and speeding up recovery between workouts. This can allow individuals to train more frequently and with higher intensity, leading to faster progress in muscle building and performance goals.

Ingredients like citrulline malate and nitric oxide boosters improve blood flow to muscles, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to help repair tissues faster. With reduced muscle soreness and quicker removal of waste products, recovery time is shortened.

Additionally, nitric oxide precursors like arginine or beetroot extract further enhance vasodilation, contributing to improved circulation and nutrient delivery to muscles. These combined effects of increased blood flow and nutrient supply provided by pump product ingredients can significantly hasten the recovery process, allowing individuals to bounce back quicker and perform optimally in subsequent training sessions.

5. Mental Focus and Clarity:

Pump products can contribute to mental focus and clarity through the inclusion of specific ingredients like caffeine, L-tyrosine, and L-theanine. Whether your pump product is stimulant or stimulant free, both can enhance mental focus, alertness, and motivation during workouts. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals training early in the morning or after a long day, helping them stay engaged and push through challenging workouts with greater intensity and determination.

L-tyrosine is an amino acid precursor to neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which are involved in regulating mood and cognitive function. By supporting neurotransmitter synthesis, L-tyrosine may help enhance mental performance, particularly during periods of stress or cognitive demand.

Another ingredient called L-theanine has calming properties that can complement stimulating effects of caffeine, promoting a state of relaxed alertness and improving focus without inducing jitteriness.

Together, these ingredients in pump products can synergistically promote mental clarity, sharpened focus, and sustained attention during workouts or other mentally demanding tasks.

It's important to note that while pump products can offer these benefits, they should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet, proper hydration, and a well-structured exercise program tailored to individual goals and needs. Additionally, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medication.

Non-Stim vs. Stimulant Pre-workout

Non-stimulant pre-workouts and stimulant pre-workouts offer distinct approaches to enhancing exercise performance, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Non-stimulant pre-workouts often rely on ingredients like citrulline, beta-alanine, and creatine to improve blood flow, increase muscle endurance, and support strength gains without relying on caffeine or other stimulants. However, non-stimulant pre-workouts may take longer to produce noticeable effects compared to their stimulant counterparts, and some users may find them less potent in terms of immediate energy and motivation.

Non-stimulant pre-workouts:

Pros:

• Provide sustained energy and focus without jitters or crashes.

• Support improved blood flow, muscle endurance, and strength gains.

• Suitable for individuals sensitive to caffeine or those who prefer to avoid stimulants.

Cons:

• May take longer to produce noticeable effects compared to stimulant pre-workouts.

• Some users may find them less potent in terms of immediate energy and motivation.

Stimulant pre-workouts:

Pros:

• Offer rapid onset of energy and mental clarity, ideal for early morning or high-intensity workouts.

• Enhance fat burning and metabolic rate, aiding in body composition goals.

• Provide immediate boost in alertness and focus.

Cons:

• Risk of tolerance buildup over time, requiring higher doses for the same effects.

• Potential for side effects such as insomnia, anxiety, or elevated heart rate.

• Some users may experience crashes or dependency issues with regular use.
