So in February's Jacked Pack I picked up a few sample packets of ANS Performance Dilate. This pre workout supplement review is based on muscle energy endurance and pump and vascularity effect.
I tried this product at the single serving dose on my Bench press day, it had good results but I felt it was lacking. This review, I gave two servings a go but I must note that they suggest no more than 6 caps... I had no side effects.
Dilate has some very good ingredients in it's profile. Rather than retype everything in my own words, this info is taken from ANS Perfomance website:
Liquid Glycerin (pharmaceutical grade) Acts an osmotic agent and pulls water into plasma and cells. Promotes muscle fullness and prevents dehydration at a cellular level, thereby enhancing cellular endurance and preventing fatigue. This is not the same ingredient as glycerol monostearate -- where glycerin is bound to the fatty acid stearic acid -- this is the ultra-pure, highly soluble form that also functions as a carrier of the remainder of the ingredient system partitioning the ingredients directly into plasma and muscle cells.
Citrulline Malate This powerful ingredient provides multiple benefits. It improves both aerobic and anaerobic performance capacity by influencing lactic acid metabolism and reducing fatigue. Citrulline also increases plasma arginine levels more effectively than arginine itself -- thereby providing the key substrate for nitric oxide generation via nitric oxide synthase (NOS).
Quercetin A potent antioxidant, with numerous studies demonstrating improved athletic performance, endurance, VO2 max as well as rapid nitric oxide production; quercetin has been clinically validated to increase baseline nitric oxide levels by 300% with a 200mg dose within 30 minutes of administration.
Beta vulgaris extract Our custom extract of beet root, delivers enhanced levels of naturally occurring nitrates. Beet root juice has been extensively studied for its endurance enhancing properties due to nitrate content, which converts to nitric oxide in the body.
Yohimbe bark extract The alkaloids found in yohimbe bark can act as natural aphrodisiacs, improving mood and focus. But they also increase blood flow augmenting the effects of DILATE, at the same time as increasing energy production and potentially aiding fat loss.
Vinpocetine A true blood vessel 'dilator', vinpocetine acts primarily in the brain, increasing blood flow, improving oxygen utilization and strengthening the mind-muscle connection while you work out.
Vitamin C Vitamin C acts as a potent radical scavenging antioxidant, preventing nitrate tolerance. It also greatly enhances NOS activity, therefore increasing the rate of nitric oxide production.
B Vitamins The B vitamins enhance the body's natural metabolism, cellular energy generation and DNA repair.
Results (Based on 2 Servings):
Energy - 4 Pump - 5
Overall - 4/5 ... a very HIGH 4 out of 5
Muscular energy was good. I am cutting after all but managed to slog from some heavy sets. I didn't feel as much endurance as I do with products contain ingredients such as creatine, beta alanine and caffeine... but you should be dosing these daily anyway (well the creatine and beta alanine anyway).
Pump was excellent. Vascularity was some of the best I have ever seen, I had new veins and arteries appearing in places I didn't know I had them! I am still not anywhere near my goal level of body fat but this product gave me a glimpse of the look that I will be having when I do! Muscles blew up, chest and lats felt thick and solid. Excellent.
Overall this is a good pump product, would be good to try more of it and see how I do at 6 caps as needing a double servings lets it down a little bit. I would definitely use it again and would recommend it to people looking for a good low stim pump product.
