Elite Xpand Xtreme Pump by Dymatize is a pre-workout supplement that works as a nitric oxide boosting product, as well as an all-around pre-workout mix. Our team wanted to further investigate the ingredients composed in this product to give our readers a full view of it before purchase. Will Elite Xpand Xtreme Pump stack up to our expectations?
Supplement Profile
This supplement instigates the use of creatine in three forms. This is a fairly great approach in the use of creatine because creatine has different absorbancy levels depending the form, and there are benefits to each level of absorbancy. Creatine Citrate, Creatine, and Di-Creatine Malate combine to form this creatine blend. Creatine is a naturally occurring ingredient made in muscle tissue that helps them to utilize the ATP cycle. Building up creatine in the muscle can increase the intensity of your workout, helping you to fully accumulate your efforts. The three varying forms of creatine absorb at different rates within the body and thus provide energy at different points during your workout, and throughout your recovery.
We are impressed by the three forms of arginine used in this blend, particularly with A-AKG. When Arginine A-AKG, Arginine HCL, and Arginine Ketoisocaproate are combined they works as natural vasodilators that helps expand veins in the body and increase blood flow to muscle tissue. It is said that arginine assists in nitric oxide production, but studies have shown that to be inconclusive at best, and that in short term uses of arginine there was no increase of nitric oxide found in athletes. BUT it still is an effective vasodilator, and vasodilation does help in workouts.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are elemental in the repair of muscle tissue post-workout. Taurine is a great aid in cardiovascular health as well as a mood booster. The better your mood, chances are–the better your workout. Glutamine is a vital component in energy production as it is what energy is made from. It also assists in recovery of muscle tissue that is damaged during intense sets. Waxy Maize is a slowly assimilated pre-cursor to glutamine, great for endurance. Cinnamon extract works as a natural blood-sugar balancer, and can increase circulation, cleanse the body, and stimulate the metabolism. Beta Alanine is a great muscle thickener, helping to prevent the effects of lactic acid build-up in the system.
Conclusions
We really like the ingredients in this product, as they are definitely useful in attaining muscle-retention/building goals. But we are fairly displeased that beta-alanine isn’t a main component in the blend. We feel that creatine and arginine have become fairly filler products, since they are both a bit outdated approaches to workout blends. But this product is still a solid choice. Consumers have reported that it often causes nausea, so beware.
