Pump Supplements: buying guide

Common pump ingredients

  • Citrulline malate: the most common pump ingredient; studies typically use 6 to 8 g.
  • Glycerol: helps draw water into muscles for a fuller look.
  • Nitrates: often from beetroot.

Many people stack a pump product with a low-stim or stim-free pre-workout. See all pre-workouts.

Order online with Australia-wide delivery, free on orders of $100 or more, or visit a Supps247 store in Melbourne, regional Victoria or Brisbane to compare tubs in person and taste flavours before you buy. Members can use our price match guarantee on full-priced items.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take regular medication, check with your doctor first.

Pump Supplements: questions and answers

Can I take a pump supplement with my pre-workout?
Many people do. Check both labels so you do not double up on the same ingredients, and stay within each product's maximum serve.
What does a glycerol supplement do?
Glycerol attracts water. Taken with plenty of fluid, it makes your body hold on to extra fluid for a while, which is why the Australian Institute of Sport lists it as a Group A supplement for pre-exercise hyperhydration, and why lifters use it for a fuller-looking pump. We stock Switch Nutrition Glycerol and Zombie Labs Glycerol Powder. It was removed from the WADA Prohibited List in 2018. The AIS notes possible nausea, headaches and stomach upset, and the extra water adds body weight, so follow the label and try it in training first.
Where can I buy a nitric oxide booster or pump supplement online in Australia?
Order pump supplements and nitric oxide boosters online and we ship Australia-wide, usually in 2 to 8 business days, free on orders of $99.99 or more, with Afterpay available. If you prefer capsules, Condemned Labz DNA Dispatch is a stimulant-free six-capsule serve with agmatine and arugula extract. Powder options include RAW Pump Non-Stim and GAT Sport Pumptropic. You can also shop in person at our Victorian stores or in Richlands, Queensland. Find your nearest store.
What are the benefits of a nitric oxide booster, and do pump supplements work?
It depends on the ingredient. Dietary nitrate, usually from beetroot, has the strongest backing: the Australian Institute of Sport lists it in Group A, with benefits shown in efforts of about 4 to 30 minutes and repeated sprints, though less so in very fit endurance athletes. Citrulline showed a small benefit for strength and power in a 2019 meta-analysis, while the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements says arginine at 2 to 20 g a day has little to no effect on performance. So pump supplements can help in some situations, and the label matters. See our beetroot supplements for nitrate options.
How do I take a nitric oxide supplement?
Follow the serve on your label, because products differ. For citrulline-based powders, a 2019 meta-analysis looked at doses taken 30 minutes or more before exercise. Nitrate from beetroot works on a slower timeline: the AIS suggests taking it about 2 to 3 hours before exercise, and warns that mouthwash or chewing gum around your dose can interfere with the benefit. Capsule boosters often need several capsules per serve, so read the serving size, not just the milligrams on the front. Try any new booster in training first, and do not double up with a pre-workout that has the same ingredients.
What are the side effects of nitric oxide supplements, and are pump supplements safe?
Side effects are mostly mild and stomach related. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements reports diarrhoea and nausea with large arginine doses of 9 to 30 g a day, a possible small drop in blood pressure, and stomach discomfort in some citrulline users. It says up to 9 g of arginine a day for several weeks is usually well tolerated, but citrulline and most blends have not been well studied for safety. The AIS notes nitrate can cause gut upset and harmless pink urine, and glycerol can cause bloating, headaches or nausea. If you take blood pressure medicine or other medication, ask your GP or pharmacist first.
Are pump supplements suitable for women as well as men?
Yes, men and women use the same products and label serves. Research in women is more limited: the AIS notes few nitrate studies include female athletes, and an ISSN position stand found little evidence for sex-specific supplement advice. One small 2017 study of 15 resistance-trained women found 8 g of citrulline malate an hour before training increased bench press and leg press reps. Anyone new to pump products can start with one scoop of a flexible formula such as Legit Pump Stim Free. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your GP before using a pump supplement.
