The powerhouse UK-based brand Applied Nutrition, known prominently here in the US as AN Supplements, has put together a more compact shot-style pre-workout, although this isn’t your standard hit of energy. The latest innovation out of the brand is ABE Pump Shot, an extension of its flagship ABE line of advanced performance products, where you get a stimulant-free formula to power your workout in a compact shot.
Applied Nutrition’s ABE Pump Shot does make it sound like it’s all about enhancing muscle pumps, but rest assured, it is more of a comprehensive supplement. Every pocket-sized bottle comes with a blend of B vitamins, a full 3.2g of beta-alanine and 2g of taurine to improve performance, and half a gram of acetyl-l-tyrosine for focus. Then you get all of the pump components, and there is a good amount considering the size, with 2g of glycerol, 4g of arginine AKG, and a hefty 6g of citrulline malate, all in a 100ml shot.
Applied Nutrition’s ABE Pump Shot is a great alternative if you don’t have a pre-workout powder on hand, need something quick and easy, or want a mobile pre-workout that doesn’t have any stimulants, including caffeine. Like most European brands, Applied sells its convenient items individually, and that includes the ABE Pump Shot, which direct costs £2.50 (3.28 USD) each or £23.99 (31.51 USD) for a box of 12.
