An expensive pre-workout formula where selenium, in a less preferred inorganic form, is a minor, incidental ingredient, making it unsuitable for targeted selenium supplementation.
Animal Pump is a comprehensive pre-workout/performance supplement, containing a blend of creatine, NO boosters, energy components, and antioxidants. It includes 100mcg of Selenium in the form of Sodium Selenite. However, the selenium is a minor component within a much larger, complex formula designed for athletic performance. The use of Sodium Selenite (an inorganic form) is less preferred than organic forms, and the price per serving is exceptionally high for individuals solely seeking selenium supplementation.
- May offer benefits related to pre-workout performance (not assessed here)
- Extremely high price per serving for minimal selenium content
- Uses Sodium Selenite, a less preferred inorganic selenium form
- Selenium is a very minor, incidental ingredient not justifying the cost
- Contains stimulants and numerous active ingredients; individuals should be cautious about potential interactions and side effects, especially if sensitive to stimulants
- Not for daily, long-term selenium-specific supplementation

Selenium 5.0
A very poor choice for selenium supplementation. The product is exceedingly expensive, and the selenium is an incidental ingredient in a less bioavailable form, making it entirely unsuitable for targeted selenium intake.
Goals
Metabolism Boost 20.0
While selenium aids thyroid metabolism, its dosage and form here are not optimal. Any 'metabolism boost' from this product is likely due to other stimulant ingredients, not the selenium.
Immunity 15.0
The selenium dose is only 100mcg, in a less preferred form, within a formula not primarily focused on immunity, offering minimal and inefficient support for this goal.
General Health 10.0
Its primary purpose is acute performance, not general health. The selenium content is negligible in the context of the overall product and its cost, making it poor for broad wellness.
