Analysis
Animal Pump is a multi-ingredient 'pack' primarily formulated for pre-workout or muscle support, containing various complexes like Creatine, NO Blast, and Energy Rush. It includes 100 mcg of selenium in the form of Sodium Selenite. Sodium Selenite is an inorganic form of selenium, generally considered less bioavailable than organic forms like selenomethionine or selenium yeast.
This product is intended for athletes and bodybuilders seeking performance enhancement and muscle support, with selenium being a minor additive to its comprehensive blend. It is not suitable for individuals primarily looking to supplement selenium for its general health benefits or to address a specific deficiency.
The extremely high price per serving (over $1.75) is driven by the extensive blend of ingredients and its specialized purpose. This makes it an impractical and uneconomical choice for targeted selenium supplementation. Furthermore, the extensive use of proprietary blends reduces transparency regarding the exact composition of many ingredients.
Pros
- Offers a comprehensive blend of ingredients for pre-workout and muscle support (though not for selenium focus).
- Includes a moderate dose of selenium, contributing to the overall blend.
Cons
- Uses Sodium Selenite, an inorganic form of selenium generally considered less bioavailable.
- Extremely high price per serving, not reflective of selenium value.
- Multiple proprietary blends reduce transparency of ingredient amounts.
- Not a dedicated selenium supplement; inefficient for targeted selenium needs.
Warnings
- This product is designed as a pre-workout; consult a health professional before use, especially if sensitive to stimulants.
- Do not rely on this product as an efficient or primary source of selenium.
- The high price per serving is for the entire complex blend, not solely for the selenium content.
