Our Pump Igniter Review

What is the main limiting factor for everyone trying to make improvements in the gym?

The answer is plain and simple, Motivation. If you have the motivation, anything is possible. So the research and development team at Top Secret Nutrition focused their efforts on creating a pre-workout supplement that not only primes and supports the body for higher performance and the best possible workout, but also stimulates the mind to drive it. The ideal pre-workout supplement should start to work BEFORE you get to the gym and really come to life once you are there. Our innovation will extend your workouts and help you achieve your true potential in the gym. That's why we developed Pump Igniter.

The Mind

MOTIVATION - Increasing motivation is an intricate process that involves desire, reward and state of mind. The Pump Igniter is designed to support this process by fueling your desire, accelerating your reward response system, and putting you in a controlled state of mind that is conducive to getting the best results from your efforts in the gym. The brain chemistry associated with motivation is extremely complex and still not totally understood by science. Here's what we know today:

The Dopamine Factor

Low dopamine equates to low motivation. In a large portion of the population dopamine appears to be a major contributor in goal-directed behavior such as working out. According to an article in Monitor on Psychology, dopamine is associated with motor control, motivation, and desire.

Why We Like Listening To Music While We Workout

We listen to music because it stimulates the release of dopamine into our systems while we work out. In 2012, a McGill University study featured in the journal Nature Neuroscience correlated listening to music with dopamine releases. Scientists measured changes in skin conductance, heart rate, breathing, and temperature in response to 'pleasurable' music versus 'neutral' music. Using the PET technique utilized in the Vanderbilt University experiment, researchers noted the neurochemical evidence that suggests music acts as a stimulus for dopamine release affecting motivational and motor parts of the brain. When scientists block dopamine release, rewards such as food, sex, and cocaine stop reinforcing behavior. The bottom line is that we need adequate levels of dopamine to feel motivated, focused, enthusiastic, and energized.

Ingredients

New! HYDROCARN - BETA-ALANINE HCL

Beta-alanine is an amino acid that promotes more muscular energy. A study published in a 2010 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise suggests that supplementation with beta-alanine increases muscle's carnosine content and, therefore, total muscle buffer capacity, with the potential to improve physical performance during high-intensity exercise and to delay the onset of neuromuscular fatigue.*

What Is Hydrocarn?

HydroCarn is derived from a Carnosyn beta-alanine base that is modified into beta-alanine HCL. It is the next generation in beta-alanine supplementation. With nearly three times the solubility of Carnosyn Beta-alanine, HydroCarn is rapidly absorbed and used by the body.

Main Objectives

• Increase lean body mass*
• Increase muscle carnosine levels*
• Increase muscle buffering*
• Decrease acidosis*
• Improve endurance*
• Delay fatigue*
• Increase muscle strength and performance*

Added Benefits

• Fights free radicals*
• Anti-aging factors*

L-Citrulline

The amino acid L-citrulline is a pre-cursor to L-arginine. It is also a byproduct of endothelial nitric oxide production. During the ENOS cycle, L-citrulline is converted into L-arginine, creating more blood level L-arginine to be used to create nitric oxide. Research suggests that oral supplementation of L-citrulline is not metabolized in the intestine or liver and is thus a good supplement to support increased nitric oxide levels.*

Main Objectives

• Increase nitric oxide*
• Improve energy*

Added Benefits

• May help reduce post exercise muscle soreness*
• Help support sexual health*

Red Beet Juice High In Nitrates

Red beet root is naturally high in nitrates (NO3) which are believed to improve athletic performance. A study led by the University of Exeter, published in 2009 in the Journal of Applied Physiology, pointed to the benefits of NO3, suggesting that they boost a cyclist's endurance.* Nitrates are helpful to athletes because they quickly bring oxygen to muscles, essentially making the more difficult efforts easier. Additionally, Bailey et al. (2009) suggest that beet root supplementation can reduce the O2 cost of exercise, suggesting that beet root supplementation allows for high-intensity exercise to be tolerated for an extended period of time.* In a later study, Bailey et al. (2011) suggests that acute dietary nitrate supplementation with beet root improves cycling economy, as demonstrated by a higher power output (PO) for the same rate of oxygen consumption (VO2), and enhances both 4- and 16.1-km cycling time trial performance.*

Researchers theorize that the reason for improved athletic performance is due to an increase in nitric oxide production via a different pathway than the traditional l-arginine nitric oxide pathway. This is called the nitrate nitrite nitric oxide pathway, and it kicks in when oxygen levels are low, like when we are exercising. Red beet nitrates (NO3) are converted to nitrates (NO2) and the nitrates (NO2) are converted to nitric oxide (NO).*

Main Objectives

• Increase nitric oxide*
• Increase blood flow*
• Increase oxygen *

Added Benefits

• Fights free radicals*

Higenamine

This ingredient is found in a variety of plants such as Nelumbo Nucifera. In animal models, it has been suggested to be a potent beta-2-adrenergic receptor agonist. Beta-2 agonists help stimulate fat cells to release fat as fatty acids. Higenamine exerts its lipolytic, thermogenic, and anabolic effects via adrenergic signaling and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) activation. Higenamine has been suggested to stimulate acetylcholine release in animal models, suggesting that it may induce improved muscle contraction on human subjects.*

Main Objectives

• Mental focus and clarity*
• Promote protein synthesis *
• Increase blood flow*
• Increase endurance*

Added Benefits

• Lipolytic - fat releasing stimulator*
• Supports sexual health*

Rutaecarpine 98% (RC-NOS)

RC-NOS, also known as Rutaecarpine, is a quinazolinocarboline alkaloid naturally found in the long used Chinese herb, Wu-Chu-Yu. Rutaecarpine has traditionally been used to support vasodilation as well as cognitive effects.

A recent study (Sheu et al, 1999) reports that Rutaecarpine may support the output of nitric oxide (NO), particularly from endothelial cells. RC-NO appears to cause an influx of intracellular calcium ions resulting in the activation of endothelial NO synthesis, causing smooth muscles to relax. This relaxation in the smooth muscle cells surrounding arteries and veins may help effectively reduce muscle fatigue by increasing the removal of waste products like carbon dioxide and lactic acid.

It has also been found that the increase calcium ions and cGMP caused by NO release can enhance shortening velocity of contraction, maximal mechanical power, and overall strength.*

Main Objectives

• Increase nitric oxide*
• Enhance strength*

Added Benefits

• Help support weight loss*

Bioperine

Bioperine is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Bioperine is used to help other nutrients become better absorbed into the blood stream. It works by inhibiting glucuronidation, which is a process that the body uses to make substances more water-soluble. More water-soluble substances are more easily eliminated from the body through urination. When this process is inhibited, the bioavailability of some substances is increased. BioPerine is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. It is also the only source from piperine to have undergone clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use.*

Main Objectives

• Improve absorption of ingredients*

Astravar

Astravar is an all-natural plant-derived compound that is extracted from highly fractionated Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus. Research suggests that Astravar may improve the absorption of various nutrients at the cellular level. When a greater amount of these nutrients are transported from the blood stream into cells, rather than just floating in the blood stream, you have truly improved bioavailability. Astravar also contains several ginsenosides. Ginsenosides belong to a group of compounds known as steroidal saponins, which are steroid molecules with attached sugar residues. In an animal study one of these ginsenosides known as rb1 was suggested to increase testosterone production indirectly through the stimulation of the luteinizing hormone. Further research also suggests that the ingredients in Astravar can increase eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), the enzyme that prompts nitric oxide production in endothelial cells.*

Main Objectives

• Improve absorption of ingredients*
• Boost nitric oxide*

Magnesium Glycerophosphate - Di-Potassium Phosphate Di Sodium Phosphate

Electrolytes are needed to maintain proper fluid balance and to optimize your energy levels so you can function at your best. Electrolytes are important because they are what your cells (especially nerve, heart, and muscle) use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses (nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other cells. Your kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in your blood constant despite changes in your body. For example, when you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant.*

We have added a unique electrolyte matrix of dipotassium phosphate, disodium phosphate, and magnesium glycerophosphate to Pump Igniter to help maintain a desirable electrolyte balance.*

Main Objectives

• Maintain proper hydration*
• Support healthy blood acidity*

Nootropic Mood Boosting Combination

This proprietary composition is a revolution in sports nutrition and redefines the potential of pre-workout supplementation. It is the perfect balance of ingredients designed to stimulate the most powerful areas of your mind allowing you to push your body beyond what you thought were limits and reward you with incredible results.

Caffeine

You are already familiar with caffeine, but do you really know how it affects the mind and body? Caffeine is a naturally occurring compound called trimethylxanthine that acts as a central nervous system stimulant in humans. The half life of caffeine is 3-7 hours and its significant levels can be detected in the brain after 5 minutes of oral intake, with the peak levels reaching in about 30 minutes. Caffeine's main mechanism of action is by blocking the adenosine receptors and altering the levels of various neurotransmitters like dopamine, adrenaline, serotonin, and acetylcholine.

Main Objectives

• Stimulate dopamine (the "fell good" hormone)*
• Improve aerobic performance*
• Reduce fatigue*
• Decrease the perception of effort*

Added Benefits

• Helps promote fat loss*

Agmatine Sulfate

Agmatine is a polyamine that is produced via decarboxylation of l-arginine by the enzyme arginine decarboxylase. It binds to various receptors and has been accepted as a novel neurotransmitter in brain. In the correct dosage, studies suggest that agmatine can increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase, or in other words, increase nitric oxide*. However, in our opinion, the best reason to include agmatine is for its positive effects on the brain, which include mood and sensory management. Because agamtine is biphasic, too much of it can have negative effects on both those areas, so the correct dosage is key.*

Main Objectives

• Improve and maintain a positive mood*
• Increase nitric oxide*

Added Benefits

• Supports pituitary luteinizing hormone release*
• Fights free radicals*
• Helps muscle recovery*

Phyllanthus Emblica

Commonly known as Indian gooseberry or amla, it [or Phyllanthus Emblica] is an important ingredient in the Ayurvedic systems of medicine. The plant is used both as a medicine and as a tonic to build up lost vitality and vigor. Phyllanthus emblica is highly nutritious and is a dietary source of vitamin C, amino acids, and minerals.

Main Objectives

• Increase energy*
• Increase endurance*
• Fights free radicals*

Picamilon

This dietary supplement is formed by combining niacin with GABA. Picamilon is able to cross the blood–brain barrier, where it is then is hydrolyzed into GABA and niacin. The second released component, niacin, acts as a strong vasodilator. Scientists at the Department of Biochemistry, Odessa University, found that picamilon passes quickly through the blood-brain barrier, faster than GABA itself. The combination of niacin and GABA increases the effectiveness of both ingredients. Because GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, it is involved in processes in which neural activity is reduced, such as reducing nervousness, supporting calming, and releasing tension. In studies with animals, picamilon has been suggested to have positive action on the cerebral circulation, and also exhibits the properties of a unique calming but stimulating component.*

Main Objectives

• Increase non-sedative calming*
• Support concentration and focus*
• Promote positive mood*

Added Benefits

• Helps support blood flow to the brain*

Choline Bitartrate

Choline bitartrate is a water-soluble B vitamin that is a precursor to acetylcholine, one of the crucial brain chemicals. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter used throughout the body; it controls muscle contraction and determines your brain speed. Reductions in plasma choline associated with strenuous exercise may reduce acetylcholine release, and could thereby affect performance and mood. Research suggests that choline levels drop during exercise, and supplementing choline prior to exercise can enhance pre-workout vigor and reduce intra- and post-workout fatigue.* The brain uses acetylcholine – its primary chemical neurotransmitter for memory and attention to communicate with muscles.*

Main Objectives

• Increase nitric oxide*
• Heighten focus*
• Improve muscle contractions*

Added Benefits

• Helps improve memory*
• Helps support muscle coordination*

Mucuna Pruriens

This tropical legume is also known as velvet bean. Mucuna contains L-DOPA, a precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. L-DOPA converts into dopamine, and as mentioned before, dopamine is an important brain chemical known as the "feel good" hormone that is involved with motivation and desire. In Ayurvedic medicine Mucuna is often used to support sexual health.*

Main Objectives

• Support positive mood*

Added Benefits

• Supports Sexual Health*
• Supports healthy testosterone levels*

Safed Musli (Chlorophytum Borivilianum)

This herb is from the tropical wet forests in peninsular India. Studies suggest that supplementing with Safed Musli had a anabolic effect in animals as evidenced by weight gains in the body and reproductive organs.* Additional animal studies suggested that Safed Musli enhances sexual health and vigor.* In the Ayurvedic literature, Safed Musli is a chief ingredient in the preparation of over a hundred therapeutic formulations. Safed Musli is used to revitalize, energize, support sexual health, and promote an overall feeling of well-being.*
