In this edition of Supplement Spotlight, we’re looking at VasoDRIVE-AP®. This is an impressive branded ingredient that is a more recent addition to the ranks of nitric oxide boosters. The thing about VasoDRIVE-AP is that it’s also sold to the general health market, which means it has benefits beyond bodybuilding and athletics. With all this in mind, let’s dive in and find out more!
What Is VasoDRIVE-AP?
VasoDRIVE-AP combines two lacto-tripeptides (LTPs). They are isoleucine-proline-proline (IPP) and valine-proline-proline (VPP). They are naturally occurring in casein protein. (1)
How Does VasoDRIVE-AP Work?
There’s quite a number of ingredients that boost nitric oxide, and they work through different mechanisms. In the case of VasoDRIVE-AP, it works two ways. First, it supports nitric oxide upregulation. Second, it inhibits the Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). This blocks vasoconstriction, thereby increasing blood flow. Of course, this means greater pumps and increased nutrient and oxygen delivery to working muscles. (1)
VasoDRIVE-AP Benefits
Here’s a complete list of benefits:
Promotes The Pump
VasoDRIVE-AP promotes huge pumps two ways, as seen above.
Improves Oxygen and Nutrient Delivery To Your Muscles
By enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery, VasoDRIVE-AP improves in-the-gym performance.
Enhances Recovery
Improved flow of nutrients enhances recovery, both in-between sets and post-workout.
Eases Post Workout Muscle Soreness
A benefit of enhanced recovery is reduced muscle soreness.
Relieves Mild Fatigue Caused By Working Out
VasoDRIVE-AP is believed to help lower the fatigue that can come from a hard training session.
Helps Lower Blood Pressure
This impressive branded ingredient supports blood pressure already within a healthy range.
As you can see, it has a major benefit beyond sports nutrition. It’s sold as AmealPeptide in the general health market, where it is used to reduce high blood pressure, as noted above.
Supplements That Contain VasoDRIVE-AP
The standard dose of this compound is 254 mg, but you may find it lower or higher. You will find it on I’llPumpYouUp in the following products.
Axe & Sledge Hydraulic V2
Axe & Sledge Hydraulic V2 is a powerful stim-free pre-workout. V2 features branded ingredients like VasoDRIVE-AP®, Citrapeak®, Cognatiq®, and AstraGin®. Hydraulic V2 promotes pumps, hydration, performance, and focus – all with zero stims.
Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode Stim-Free
Here’s a brand that’s taken the market by storm. The stim-free version of their outstanding Gorilla Mode pre-workout is no exception. Unlike many stim-free pre-workouts that provide focus and pump ingredients, Gorilla Mode Stim-Free targets the pump only, and it does an amazing job. This pre-workout increases nitric oxide levels, improves strength, and promotes cell volume (water-based pumps). VasoDRIVE-AP is just one of several explosive ingredients, all dosed to the max.
Panda Supplements Pandamic Extreme Phoenix Edition
This explosive pre-workout promotes energy, strength, focus, endurance, and pumps, with VasoDRIVE-AP a key player. There’s also 10 grams of citrulline malate, and plenty of powerful focus and pump (N.O. boosters and cell volumizers) ingredients. Plus, there’s 350 mg of caffeine and 50 mg of synephrine for powerful energy.
Summary
As you can see, this is an impressive product that’s in some of the best pre-workouts out there. Like other innovative ingredients, (I’m thinking glycerol) it needs to find its way into other pre-workouts and nitric oxide boosters. As a branded ingredient, it’s dosed according to manufacturer’s specs. In the choices above, you have 2 innovative stim-free pre-workouts. You can stack them with a stim-based pre-workout (like our 3rd choice above) or use them by themselves. Since you’re already here, shop illpumpyouup.com for your pre-workout (and all your supplement) needs. Don’t wait, shop today!
