AstroFlav A-Pump

Nitric Oxide Enhancer

Muscle Volumizer

A-Pump Provides you with the top clinically studied pro-nitric oxide ingredients for sports nutrition and a healthy cardiovascular system.

• Supports an increase in blood flow for strong muscle pumps during training†
• Increases nitric oxide production which supports blood flow, power output and oxygen transport†
• Long-term solution for optimal intra-workout pump†
• Reduce muscle soreness after high-intensity exercise†
• Stimulant Free pump formula that can be taken as a standalone or combined with other pre-workout products†
• Convenient On-The-Go Capsules †

The combination of these powerful ingredients in A-Pump, Amentopump®, VasoDrive-AP®, and PurpleForce®. Create a synergistic effect that is far more powerful and will increase performance.

A-PUMP INGREDIENTS:

AmentoPump®

Amentoflavones are a PDE inhibitor, specifically PDE-5, which increases vasodilation and results in bigger and badder pumps during training due to the increased blood flow reaching the muscles. More blood flow also means more nutrients are shuttled to the muscle allowing you to work out for longer periods of time.

• Improved Fat Loss By blocking PDE with AmentoPump®. You will get a double negative at cAMP levels, resulting in a positive increase. This results in stimulation of fat loss. Increased lipolysis AmentoPump® indirectly increases cAMP levels in adipose tissues which subsequently activates a variety of transcription factors and other enzymes in the RNA. This chain reaction results in greater lipolysis, the breakdown and release of stored fat from those pesky trouble spots. Reduced fatty acid synthesis AmentoPump® has demonstrated the ability to inhibit fatty acid synthase, a target for metabolic syndrome, which is responsible for the endogenous synthesis. It acting on the opposite side of the coin by preventing the body from forming new fatty acids.
• Enhanced Muscular Strength & Endurance. AmentoPump® has a well-documented effect on vasodilation as described above. The well-documented mechanism of increasing exercise performance helps supply meet the demand of exercising muscle tissue. In addition to this,
• AmentoPump® provides a relatively unique mechanism for increasing power output: increased Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. By increasing intracellular Ca2+ downstream of the signal for muscle contraction, binding to troponin-C is increased and the force of muscular contraction, on a cell-by-cell basis.
• Increased Ca2+ release. The key to a full and complete muscular contraction is the release of calcium into the muscle cells. The more calcium available at the muscle's disposal, the greater the force of the contraction. AmentoPump® is a good alternative to ordinary pre-workout supplements filled with caffeine. It helps direct calcium right to the muscle cells, which is a weapon you should take advantage of. AmentoPump® is far more effective. Unlike caffeine though, amentoflavone is 20 times more effective at raising calcium concentrations than that of its stimulating counterpart.

VASODRIVE-AP®

One of the most researched tripeptide ingredients for cardiovascular health, VasoDrive-AP (also known as AmealPeptide®) is said to improve arterial flexibility by increasing the production of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).*

Derived from milk protein through a proprietary enzymatic process, VasoDrive-AP is a naturally occurring, safe, and highly effective blood-pressure support ingredient.*

It occurs in very small amounts in casein as tripeptides, which are three specific amino acids joined together in a precise configuration. It works to support blood pressure already within a healthy range by inhibiting an enzyme that leads to the constriction of blood vessels.*

The two tripeptides in VasoDrive-AP are known as the lactotripeptides Valyl-Prolyl-Proline (VPP) and Isoleucyl- Prolyl-Proline (IPP); they are derived from the amino acids valine, proline, and isoleucine.

It is manufactured by enzymatically hydrolyzing casein in a precise manner with the protease derived from Aspergillus oryzae in such a way that the peptides are not damaged or broken down into their individual amino acids. They are also not degraded in the human digestive system because of their precise configuration and can be absorbed intact to be physiologically active.

These lactotripeptide combinations are not found in high enough quantities in common foods (such as dairy) to be sufficiently healthful.

This vasodilating action is believed to be at least partly responsible for VasoDrive-AP’s clinically documented effect on blood pressure.*

Supported by more than 30 published studies — including over a dozen double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials — VasoDrive-AP (Amealpeptide) helps maintain both systolic and diastolic blood pressure already within healthy limits and promotes arterial elasticity.*

VasoDrive-AP also boosts exercise performance by improving recovery and sustaining endothelial function throughout training cycles.*

It additionally helps athletes with their “head game” by supporting healthy cerebral circulation and cognitive function.*

Research shows that VasoDrive-AP supplementation can:*

• Improve arterial flexibility by potentiating the production of eNOS
• Support healthy glucose utilization
• Reduce inflammation
• Support cerebral blood flow and cognitive function
• Improve recovery and sustain endothelial function throughout training cycles
• Reduce muscle soreness after high-intensity exercise
• Reduce mild exercise-related fatigue
• Long-term solution for optimal intra-workout pump as well as post-workout recovery

A-Pump Mechanism of Action:

VasoDrive-AP® works by inhibiting an enzyme that leads to the constriction of blood vessels.* This vasodilating action is believed to be at least partly responsible for VasoDrive-AP’s clinically documented effect on blood pressure.*

HOW TO USE A-PUMP:

On Training Days:

Option 1: As a standalone. Take one serving (3 Capsules) 20-30 minutes prior to exercise. A-Pump can be taken alongside your favorite preworkout.

On Non-Training Days:

For additional cardiovascular benefits take (3 Capsules) 20-30 minutes prior to a meal.
