EFECTIV Project Pump - Stim-Free & Caffeine Free Pre Workout Powder 440g – Fruit Salad (40 Servings) - Advanced Performance with Citrulline, Nitrosigine & Nootropics – Focus, Endurance & Strength

Great quality

Good for what it is but I’m used to caffeine so it still makes me tired during the end of the workout so gonna go back to caffeine pre workouts, basicaly not that strong

I was attracted to this pre workout because it’s stimulant free. I enjoy a tea and coffee once or twice a day but I don’t feel any positive benefits whatsoever from overloading one’s self with caffeine, especially as a supplement you’re just going to “neck down”. In fact caffeine can have a very negative effect if you’re training, you need to good sleep in order for your body to recover.The fruit salad variety is a reasonably nice flavour and not particularly gritty. I think if it was little more sour it would taste better, but it’s not a product that you instantly think.. “gosh that was awful” I better hold my nose next time! Which so many of these things are.So what does it do and what are the side effects?What this product does is enhance blood flow around the using a combination of Beta Alanine’s and Citrulline Malate, which you can buy separately as supplements and usually a lot cheaper than this product. Whilst Citrulline Malate is quite a mild and unnoticeable chemical which performance enhances are a possible benefit but inconclusive, Beta Alanine is a substance which can prevent fatigue. Just be aware of its common side effect which tingling in the face and possibly other areas.One scoop of this gave me quite a noticeable sensation of pins and needles in the face. I would NOT recommend a higher dose to start with, a possible side effect could result in itchiness! So be aware! You have been warned.Overall, definitely worth a try!

It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is also trying to sell you on "miracle" gains. Enter Project Pump, a stimulant-free contender that promises to deliver "vicious pumps" without turning you into a jittery mess. As a 43-year-old who's seen more than his fair share of gym fads come and go, I approached this product with a mix of hope and scepticism.First things first, the lack of stimulants is a genuine boon for me. With a small baby at home, my sleep pattern is more erratic than a soap opera plotline. So, avoiding anything that could further sabotage my sleep is a top priority. Plus, not having my heart rate go off the charts during a late-night workout is always appreciated.The "enhanced focus" claim does hold some water. I found myself zoning into my workouts with a clarity that was noticeably sharper than my pre-baby, pre-dog walking days. It's not a mind-blowing difference, but in the grind of daily life, every little helps.As for the "vicious pumps," well, let's just say they're more like polite pumps. There's definitely an improvement in blood flow and muscle fullness, but if you're expecting to look like a cartoon character, you might want to temper your expectations. It's more of a natural boost than an all-out assault on your musculature.Now, let's break it down:Pros:Stimulant-free, so no unwanted side effects or restless nights.Does improve focus during workouts, making it easier to stick to your routine.Offers a decent pump, enhancing blood flow without overdoing it.Cons:The pumps, while decent, might not live up to the "vicious" billing for everyone.It's a competitive market out there, and when stacked against alternatives, Project Pump doesn't exactly leap out as a front runner.In a nutshell, Project Pump is like that reliable mate who's always there when you need him but won't necessarily be the life of the party. It gets the job done without any fuss, and sometimes, that's exactly what you need. Just don't expect it to revolutionize your workout routine overnight.

I love how this works, with you feeling the tingling of the beta alanine after only 15 or so minutes. The taste is 'meh' but when you mix it with any sort of juice or energy drink it turns into decent to great. The performance increase I've noticed in the gym has been very apparent, and I've seen myself able to lift 3 - 5kg more weight for 4 - 5 more reps, while also not being as tired at the end of the workout like I usually am. Overall I like this product, and the price makes it very affordable too.

I have tried some energy alternatives to give me a buzz in the afternoon since I am working and exercising from home. I initially tried caffeine tablets, but I did not enjoy them as I had no appetite and lost weight.I came across the Efectiv Project Pump brand and was impressed at how many amino acids, minerals and natural extracts it incorporated; there is a vast list of ingredients, including adaptogens. That is probably by far the BEST energy drink I have ever tasted, from the taste to its effects.I am delighted it contains Rhodiola rosea and Lion`s Mane, as I take both separately daily. Both are incredible for the brain and cognitive processes. Given the flavour, strawberry and kiwi, I expected a red and sweet drink. I prefer more concentrated drinks; this one is lovely with less water. I drink at least 1.5 litres of filtered water daily and am happy to consume a drink that hydrates and feeds my cells and brain.Project Pump is lovely and gives you a push while providing precious nutrients. It is a drink I use when my workday is hectic and before workouts. I am now completely converted to powdered energy drinks. I have not attempted to use other brands because I was impressed with the drink. I do wholeheartedly recommend the brand as, for me, using it was a success story.
