Nutrition21's Nitric Oxide Boosting Ingredient Nitrosigine® is Now Powering Up Alani Nu's Pre-workout: Pump - Stim Free

PURCHASE, N.Y., Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nutrition21, LLC ("Nutrition21"), has announced that its clinically substantiated ingredient Nitrosigine®, is now featured in Alani Nu's new release, Pump - Stim Free. As a complement to their extremely successful pre-workout product, Pump - Stim Free promises the same exceptional quality and taste that Alani Nu's following counts on, but without stimulants. Pump - Stim Free is an innovative pre-workout supplement packed with premium ingredients and formulated to deliver increased pumps, boost, and mental focus.

Nitrosigine is a patented complex of bonded arginine silicate stabilized with inositol that is scientifically engineered to significantly boost nitric oxide levels, a key factor in increasing blood flow.^ Studies have shown that Nitrosigine clinically enhances levels of both arginine and nitric oxide and is a more bioavailable form of arginine. Additionally, a recent study demonstrated that at least some of Nitrosigine's superiority over other nitric oxide boosters is due to the ingredient's ability to inhibit the arginine-deflating enzyme, arginase.

"At Alani Nu, our goal is to provide high-quality products that help our customers feel and perform at their best." said Katy Hearn, Founder of Alani Nu. "Pump - Stim Free is more than just another pre-workout, it is what our customers have asked us for, a high-quality product that provides them with the boost needed to get the most out of their active lifestyle and power through the moments that matter most."

"We are excited to announce that Nitrosigine will be featured in Alani Nu: Pump - Stim Free," said Nutrition21 Vice President of Sales, Todd Spear. "In developing this new pre-workout, the Alani Nu Team placed their focus on using a combination of efficacious ingredients to deliver crucial benefits without using stimulants. We are excited that Nitrosigine not only met their stringent specifications, but also that it was included for its powerful nitric oxide boosting properties. Consumers looking to improve their pre-workout routine should look for Pump- Stim Free, as well as the Nitrosigine trademark or logo on the products they are using to help support their overall fitness goals."
