Nitrogen Nutrition HD Pump: Debut Non-Stimulant Pre-Workout That Works

Nitrogen Nutrition HD Pump

Don’t let the name fool you. Nitrogen Nutrition HD Pump is a pump formula, but it is also backed by performance boosting ingredients to truly make this a non-stimulant, caffeine-free pre-workout supplement.

Many products in today’s day and age are broken down into a 1-scoop and 2-scoop serving size. HD Pump from Nitrogen Nutrition is the same. For the purpose of this breakdown, we are going to look at the 2-scoop serving size.

L-Citrulline – 8,000mg

Citrulline has become the most popular blood-flow ingredient in the pump and non-stimulant pre-workout categories. It has been proven in various studies to trigger nitric oxide and improve blood flow into the muscles. By doing so you not only get the “look” of the pump but also the plethora of benefits that come with it.

Citrulline converts to Arginine when it is consumed. This then triggers nitric oxide to push more blood into the muscles. This blood is filled with nutrients that help you obtain longer muscular endurance and better recovery.

In addition to the muscle benefits, Citrulline also provides cardiovascular support. The better the blood flow the better your overall endurance. Citrulline is not just for bodybuilders but also for athletes across multiple sports.

Citrulline benefits start at as little as 3g. Users are getting 8g two-scoops in Nitrogen Nutrition HD Pump.

HydroPrime Glycerol – 3,000mg

HydroPrime Glycerol is a branded version of glycerol powder that has been shown to be more “stable” than generic forms of glycerol. This means that it may decrease the likelihood of clumping your pre-workout.

Glycerol works by saturating the muscles and holding liquid in them for a longer period than without using glycerol. Ideally users want this in a liquid form so you can get 10-20g of glycerol for optimal benefits. The 3g dosage will provide a slight benefit but to get the true benefits of glycerol you’d want to look to add a liquid form of it.

Nitrosigine – 1,500mg

Nitrosigine comes to us from Nutrition 21. It is a unique ingredient that has been proven in various clinical studies to improve blood flow. One study compared it to 8g of Citrulline Malate and it performed better at increasing blood flow.

Much like we talked about in Citrulline, the improved blood flow can help with the look, performance and recovery. In addition to the muscle and cardiovascular benefits, Nitrosigine has also been shown to improve cognition. In fact, it worked so well that Nutrition 21 created a new ingredient called NooLVL that is essentially the full dosage of Nitrosigine (1.5g) with added inositol to be used in nootropics and gaming supplements.

Taurine – 1,000mg

Taurine is a very popular ingredient used in products like stim-based pre-workouts, non-stimulant pre-workouts and hydration. Taurine can help regulate electrolytes. By doing-so in a pre-workout, users can experience better muscle contractions and improved output from their workout. The dosage of 1,000mg is sufficient.

L-Tyrosine – 1,000mg

One of the most popular ingredients over the past several years has been L-Tyrosine. This is due to the cost of the ingredient (it is “cheap”) but mostly due to the performance of this non-essential amino acid. It aids in improving cognition and it works at doses as little as 1,000mg. Improved focus in a key pillar for a great pre-workout.

CitraPeak – 200mg

CitraPEAK® is a pump ingredient that has been growing in popularity over the past few years. It is an antioxidant sourced from citrus fruit extrac. The active ingredient is known as Hesperidin. Benefits of CitraPeak are improve blood flow, circulation, and nutrient absorption. The 200mg dosage is the correct dosage.

EndoFlo – 200mg

EndoFlo comes to us from Aura Scientific. It is a unique blend of four ingredients that has been proven to relax blood vessels, improve blood flow, muscular endurance and improve performance. By relaxing and softenting the blood vessels, this allows them to widen and move more blood into the muscles. This leads to improved performance. The 200mg dosage is what we’d expect to see.

NeuroRush – 100mg

NeuroRush is also from Aura Scientific. This is a coffeeberry extract that can improve cognition. NeuroRush contains over 50% chlorogenic acids. Some studies suggest that chlorogenic acids can improve attention, alertness, and mood in the short term. The 100mg dosage is what we want to see.

AstraGin – 50mg

AstraGin is from Nuliv Science. This 50mg dosage helps improve the absorption and effects of the active ingredients listed above.
