Sparta Nutrition: Kraken Pump

Sparta Nutrition have hit the ground running with a lineup of products that has swiftly earned them accolades from across the world thanks to their range's combination of high doses of effective ingredients and innovative formulas that gives this American brand a distinctive edge in a world full of "me too" brands.

Their latest formula, Kraken Pump, is a sequel of sort to their best-selling preworkout Kraken. What makes Kraken Pump different is that while Kraken is a searingly intense preworkout that provides users with amazing, long-lasting energy, Kraken Pump is instead focused on delivering maximal muscle endurance, vascularity, and enhancing the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to working muscles.

Breaking Down Kraken Pump's Formula

As always with Predator, the first place to look at is the nutrition label when trying to figure out what a product is designed to do. On this front, Kraken Pump keeps it simple by limiting the formula to five ingredients, each one of them dosed at an effective level and based on scientific research.

The muscle pumps, vascularity and endurance will come from the combination of three proven nitric oxide enhancers in citrulline, hydromax (a trademarked form of glycerol monostearate) and nitrosigine. Each one of these pump enhancers works in a slighly different way with the citrulline and nitrosigine more focused on enhancing capillarisation across the body while hydromax helps draw water into the muscle.

Kraken Pump goes beyond a simple pump formula though by adding beta vulgaris and coconut water. While the latter is loaded in nutrients and is great for its hydrating qualities, the beta vulgaris is an extract of beetroot.

Beetroots can be considered something of a superfood for endurance athletes with multiple studies attesting to their endurance boosting properties thanks to their very high nitrate content. Beta Vulgaris works via a different pathway to the other nitric oxide enhancers in Kraken Pump to provide users with the ultimate pump, and endurance supplement.

As if the above is not enough, Kraken Pump follows it's predecessor in being available in a range of fantastic flavours such as rainbow candy, bombsicle, and sour gummy bear all of which make for a truly original and tasty way to consume your performance enhancing ingredients.
