JNX Sports The Curse! Stim-Free Pump, 572g

JNX Sports The Curse! Stim-Free Pump – stimulant-free pre-workout powder

JNX Sports The Curse! Stim-Free Pump is a food supplement in powder form that is mixed with water and taken before a workout. Unlike many other pre-workout drinks, it contains no caffeine or other stimulants, so it is also an option for those who train in the evening or avoid caffeine for other reasons. The formula is built on citrulline malate, betaine anhydrous, L-arginine, taurine and L-tyrosine, with Himalayan rock salt as a source of sodium and chloride. The Blue Raspberry and Sour Candy flavours also contain beta-alanine. The product is sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame K, and each container holds 40 scoops of powder. The manufacturer is the American brand JNX Sports.

Ingredients per dose

On the EU label of the Blue Raspberry flavour the daily dose is two scoops (28.6 g), providing 9000 mg of citrulline malate 2:1, 5000 mg of betaine anhydrous, 3200 mg of beta-alanine, 1500 mg of L-arginine, 1200 mg of taurine and 500 mg of L-tyrosine, as well as 400 mg of sodium and 680 mg of chloride (85% NRV). On the Peach Mango and Sour Candy labels the daily dose is one scoop (14.3 g or 14.5 g): 4500 mg of citrulline malate, 2500 mg of betaine anhydrous, 750 mg of L-arginine, 600 mg of taurine, 250 mg of L-tyrosine, 200 mg of sodium and 340 mg of chloride (43% NRV). Sour Candy also contains 1600 mg of beta-alanine; the EU label of Peach Mango does not list beta-alanine in the ingredients or in the table.

Citrulline malate 2:1 means that two parts of citrulline are combined with one part of malic acid. Taurine, L-arginine and L-tyrosine are amino acids that are also found in everyday protein-rich foods.

How to use?

Mix 1–2 scoops of powder with water, using 170–250 ml for each scoop, and drink 15–30 minutes before your workout. You can adjust the amount of liquid depending on how strong a taste you prefer. Daily dose stated on the label: two scoops for Blue Raspberry, one scoop for Peach Mango and Sour Candy; do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Beta-alanine may cause harmless short-term skin tingling. Use the product only as directed and do not use it if the safety seal is broken or missing.
