Platinum Pump Pre-workout Blue Raspberry
Optimum Nutrition
Overview
Platinum Pump Pre-workout combines several ingredients known to enhance exercise performance and recovery. L-Citrulline and Beta-Alanine are included at clinically relevant doses, while Aquamin and CocoMineral aim to replenish electrolytes. However, some ingredients like Niacin, Vitamin B12, and Fruitflow are present in smaller amounts, which may limit their impact. Overall, the product is likely to provide some benefits for exercise performance, but the effectiveness of certain ingredients is uncertain.
