In this edition of Brand Spotlight, we’re looking at the fairly new brand Panda Supplements! Here’s a fast growing brand with some great products. We’ll look at who they are, their best products, and give you some great stack suggestions. There’s no reason to wait, so let’s get to it!
Who Is Panda Supplements?
If you look on their website, there’s a section called “Why Panda”. In that section, there’s talk about “Underground Bio Labs”. If you google that name, you will see a lot of the same dual-name confusion you see with DAS Labs/Bucked Up. So, is it Underground Bio Labs or is it Panda Supplements?
Panda’s Owner
As it turns out, a gentleman by the name of Mehrbod Mohammadi owns a company called Underground Partners, which owns Underground Bio Labs, Panda Supplements, Vortex Supps, and Wycked Naturals. Yet even on the Linkedin page that displays this info, you will still see the following: Underground Bio Labs (Panda Supplements). So apparently, even though you would think Panda Supplements and Underground Bio Labs are both a division of Underground Partners, we seem to have another confusing dual-name situation. Therefore, for clarity and simplicity, I will refer to this company only as Panda Supplements or just Panda. (1)
Started in 2020 – Panda Has Come A Long Way!
As far as Panda Supplements goes, it was founded in 2020, and Mehrbod Mohammadi is a co-founder. As noted, Panda has been doing very well and growing quickly. In the next section, we’ll take a look at some of the products they carry.
What Kind Of Products Do They Carry?
One interesting thing about Panda Supplements is they make several excellent pre-workouts. For example, there is Pandamic Extreme and Rampage Super Extreme, to name a couple. Both of these are high stim, high focus, fairly well balanced pre-workouts.
But that’s only the start. They have an outstanding collaborative pre-workout called Panda vs Gorilla. Can you guess what this Pre is all about from the name? Perhaps your first thought was Gorilla Mind. It’s a collaboration between Panda and Blackmarket Labs – but they are taking aim at Gorilla Mode.
More Than Pre-Workouts!
Panda Supplements seems focused on making various Pre’s – but wait until you see their protein powder! Panda Fuel Premium Protein features several protein sources including fast-digesting whey and slow-digesting casein. This, of course, creates a multi-phase release protein powder. Panda Fuel Premium Protein works great for post-workout and bedtime use, or any time you will be going without a meal for a while.The fast/slow release strategy ensures a continual supply of amino acids, which are essential for protein synthesis stimulation, recovery, and ultimately muscle growth.
Glycerol – Yes!
Those that read my articles know how impressed I am with glycerol – and Panda Supplements is serious about their Pump Juice Liquid Glycerol. This product is ultra-hardcore and gives you a whopping 20 grams per serving! Talk about mind-blowing water-based pumps and insane endurance! Plus, to enhance it even further, they’ve combined it with the nutrient absorber AstraGin. What a product!
Sample Panda Supplement Stacks
The Extreme Stack!
Panda Fuel Premium Protein
First, there is the very impressive Panda protein blend, which supplies a huge 30 grams of protein per scoop. This blend includes:
- Non-GMO Whey Protein Isolate
- Grass-Fed Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Whey Concentrate
- Casein Protein
Next, we have the digestive enzyme, probiotic, and absorption enhancement complex, which includes:
- Prohydrolase®
- Panda Probiotics Blend
- AstraGin®
- Senactiv®
- Black Pepper Extract
Pump Juice Liquid Glycerol
As noted, one serving gives you a huge 20 grams of glycerol, with extra sodium for even more muscle cell volume, and AstraGin for better absorption.
Pandamic Extreme Pre-Workout
This potent Pre features the following:
- 350 mg Caffeine Anhydrous
- 9 grams Citrulline Malate (personally, I’d rather see pure citrulline)
- Other Stims
- Focus Enhancers
- Endurance Enhancers
- Betaine and Beta Alanine
The Super Extreme Stack!
Panda Fuel Premium Protein
Pump Juice Liquid Glycerol
Rampage Super Extreme Pre-Workout
Rampage is a pre-workout that primarily has more caffeine.
This one features:
- 400 mg Caffeine from 3 different sources
- Several other stims, including 3 versions of Synephrine
- Focus Enhancers
- 6 grams Citrulline Malate
- Betaine and Beta Alanine
The Panda vs Gorilla Stack!
Panda Fuel Premium Protein
Pump Juice Liquid Glycerol
Panda vs Gorilla Pre-Workout
This is a somewhat simpler pre-workout that features:
- 10,000 mg Citrulline Malate (but that’s still only 5 grams of pure Citrulline)
- 400 mg Caffeine from different sources
- Several other stims including Eria Jarensis
- Focus Enhancers
- Betaine and Beta-Alanine
None of the pre-workouts contain Creatine, if it was me, I’d buy a separate Creatine Monohydrate product. I might also consider a pump-based product such as 5% Nutrition Full As F*ck. Combined with Pand’s glycerol, well, all I can say is wow!
Summary
Despite another confusing use of two different names, Panda Supplements has some very impressive products. They are very stim and focus oriented in their pre-workout formulas. That’s great, of course, but as noted pump ingredients tend to suffer. Plus, as noted, I would buy a pump-focused product to bring the pump boosters up to par. So if you’re visiting illpumpyouup.com and haven’t settled on a brand yet, check out Panda!
