Active Ingredients

Glycerol

Glycerol is a compound classed as a “sugar-alcohol”.

It’s been shown to enhance pumps by acting as a plasma-expander, essentially increasing the amount of blood in your body (1).

Betaine Nitrate

Betaine nitrate is a compound which may deliver both power- and pump-boosting effects.

Nitrates have been shown to boost nitric oxide levels, which can improve blood flow, pumps, and endurance (2).

The betaine part of the molecule may be able to increase power output, and improve body composition too (3).

Who Takes It?

Athletes wanting to improve their pumps during workouts may enjoy using Pump Mode.

How to Take

Mix 1 scoop (5.6g) with 250mL water, and consume 30 minutes before your workout.

Side Effects

May upset the stomach if taken without sufficient food or water.

Pros

Uses two different mechanisms to enhance pumps
Betaine may help with power output
Can be combined with another pre-workout.

Cons

Ingredients are dosed a little low
Doesn’t do anything for energy or focus, and very little for performance.

Conclusion

Pump Mode is a very basic pump-enhancing formula, which combines the effects of blood-expansion and vasodilation for maximum effects.

It’s likely to work best at a 2-scoop serving, since the doses in a single scoop are somewhat low.

Although it doesn’t do much for energy, focus, or performance, its stimulant-free nature makes it easy to combine with another pre-workout of your choice.
