What Does AmentoPump Do?

AmentoPump is a trademarked extract of Selaginella tamariscina containing Amentoflavone, a powerful biflavonoid that acts as a multi-pathway performance enhancer. Unlike traditional pump ingredients that only focus on nitric oxide, AmentoPump works at the cellular level to improve muscle contraction and blood vessel relaxation.

  • Enhanced Muscle Contraction: It promotes the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is the primary trigger for muscle fibers to contract, leading to improved strength and power.
  • Potent Vasodilation: It acts as a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor, which prevents the breakdown of cGMP, allowing blood vessels to remain dilated for massive, long-lasting pumps.
  • Increased Fat Oxidation: Amentoflavone has been shown to stimulate lipolysis, helping your body utilize stored fat for energy during intense training sessions.
  • Improved Nutrient Delivery: By widening the pathways for blood flow, it ensures that oxygen and essential nutrients reach working muscle tissues more efficiently.

Clinical vs. Gym Bro Dosing

TierDoseNotes
Threshold50mgProvides a subtle boost in vascularity and muscle hardness.
Standard100mgThe most common dose found in high-end pre-workout formulas.
Clinical150mgThe recommended dosage for maximum calcium-mediated strength.
Performance200mgAn aggressive dose for experienced users seeking peak power output.

Key Insight: AmentoPump is unique because it provides a "dry" and "hard" pump. Because it works via calcium signaling rather than just water retention, it is best stacked with Citrulline or Nitrates to attack the pump from two different biological angles.

Side Effects & Warnings

  • Stimulant Potentiation: While not a stimulant itself, AmentoPump can make caffeine feel more potent, which may cause jitters in sensitive individuals.
  • Blood Pressure Fluctuations: Due to its vasodilatory properties, it may cause a temporary drop in blood pressure; consult a doctor if you are on BP medication.
  • Mild Nausea: Some users report slight stomach discomfort when taking high doses of concentrated extracts on an empty stomach.

Tip: To avoid any potential digestive issues, ensure you consume at least 12-16 ounces of water when taking supplements containing AmentoPump.
