MAN Sports is a brand that has actually been around for quite some time now. While they are not the most popular brand around, they have stayed relevant through loyal customers, and “micro-batch” products. They have made a name for themselves for being transparent, which comes from them being one of the early brands to jump on the “fully transparent protein” train.
Well, today we are going to be taking a deep dive into their new pump product called VasoJet. VasoJet is a capsule based pump product, and has quite an impressive profile. So we are here today to give a breakdown of the ingredients and our initial thoughts on the product.
NatruNitrate (std. 15% Nitrates) – 2000mg
The first ingredient in VasoJet is probably the one most of us are going to feel. NatruNitrate® is a new ingredient to the market and is a source of Nitrates. If you know us here on Fitness Informant, you know that we are huge fans of Nitrates here. They are great for vasodilation and certainly are a great way to get your pumps going.
This ingredient is from NO3-T®, the same people who have brought us some of our other favorite pump ingredients on the market. So with that said, you are getting 2 grams here, which is a solid dose. We have to note that it is a big step in the right direction, as usually products containing Nitrates do not disclose the amount of Nitrates, so seeing the standardization of Nitrates is a good thing.
Arasyn™ Arachidonic Acid Powder – 1,000mg
The next ingredient in VasoJet is Arachidonic Acid. Now this is an ingredient that actually causes inflammation. Why would we want inflammation? Well when you workout, you actually need inflammation to stimulate muscle growth. An inflammatory response signals your body to go ahead and repair the damaged area, making it bigger and better overtime.
In a study done on 30 trained males, Arachidonic Acid was shown to be beneficial for increasing lean body mass as well as strength when compared to a placebo. The study was randomized of course. Certainly an interesting ingredient to add to a pump product.
Pine Bark Extract (95% Proanthocyanidins) – 200mg
The next ingredient we have here is Pine Bark Extract. You actually see Pine Bark Extract is several pump products these days. Pine Bark provides antioxidants which have been shown to be beneficial for heart health. It may also be beneficial for lowering blood pressure.
You are getting 200mg of Pine Bark Extract which is a solid dose, and we are glad to see the standardization of Proanthocyanidins being disclosed.
Histidine – 100mg
Histidine is the next ingredient in VasoJet. Histidine is an essential amino acid that plays a role in a variety of functions for your body. However in a sports nutrition supplement, especially one like VasoJet.
Histidine intake was shown to be linked to lower blood pressure levels, and while there needs to be more studies done, the benefits of Histidine are worth seeing it in a supplement.
Cnidium Monnieri (98% Osthole) – 60mg
The final ingredient in VasoJet is Cnidium Monnieri. This is an ingredient used in Ancient Chinese medicine, and is typically used as an aphrodisiac. It has actually been shown to be a vasorelaxant in a study done on rabbits.
The benefits seem to come from Osthole, which MAN Sports has a 98% standardization of.
Final Takeaway
Ryan’s Take – Personally I have never been a fan of Pump products in a capsule form. The cap limits what can be put into it due to size, and nine times out of ten you get a capsule that is extremely underdosed. With VasoJet, you have to take three to six caps, but you get a full dose of key ingredients. For me, personally, I liked VasoJet. It is convenient with the caps for on-the-go traveling, or if you’re tired of powders. The inclusion of NatruNitrate, the newest NO3-T nitrate to hit the market, seems to do well in terms of blood flow and pump. We will have a full review coming after completion of VasoJet, but based on a quick take, I am a fan.
Gerhard’s Take – Unlike Ryan, I sometimes would rather have my pump products a capsule form, as mixing so many powders at once sometimes comes to mixing flavors, which isn’t always great. Capsules are simply convenient, and VasoJet is certainly a great add-on. Since most people simply add a pump product to a stimulant based pre-workout, this is a convenient option, and is really made to be added to Game Day, a solid pre-workout from MAN Sports. While the capsules smell funky, the product itself delivers with pumps, and any pre-workout we stacked this with made for some fun times. Nitrates simply work, and you don’t really need much more than that, something MAN Sports has showed. Full review coming soon!
