Gaspari Super Pump 250 Review & Side Effects(2)

Gaspari SuperPump Max Supplement Study Results

In part 1 of our Superpump 250 review, we discussed this supplement in some detail including discussions about some of its ingredients. Below we'll look at a clinical study done on superpump 250.

Almost every supplement on the market today will make certain claims to its benefits and effectiveness for its intended purpose; however, it's not often that a supplement maker will back up their claims with clinical studies, and in some cases where there are so called "studies" to prove the results, the studies are usually not published in peer reviewed journals and therefore hold little weight. With the large number of supplements that we use on a regular basis, and the research we do on these supplements, we generally look very favorably upon supplements with supporting studies that are published in peer reviewed journals, and Gaspari Nutrition's Superpump 250 is one such supplement.

To reiterate, some of the claims of Super Pump 250 include:

• Significant Increases in Lean Mass & Strength
• Causes Rapid and Measurable Full Body Pumps
• Stimulates Roadmap Vascularity
• Triggers Explosive Energy and Acute Mental Focus
• Simultaneously Reduces Body Fat Percentage

Below, we'll look at a Gaspari Superpump 250 study published in the Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition (JISSN). Note and study disclaimer: this study was supported in part by a research grant from Gaspari Nutrition; however, none of the authors has any conflict of interest.

Four weeks of supplementation with a multi-nutrient product increases lean mass and muscular performance in resistance trained men

This was a double-blind, randomized study to determine the effects of Gaspari Super Pump on muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition during four weeks of intense resistance training. 30 healthy male subjects participated. They were randomised into either a Super Pump 250 group (2-3 scoops per day), or a placebo group for a one month period. Measures taken include body composition, muscular performance, and blood chemistry was taken at baseline and after four weeks.

Their study found significant differences between the Superpump 250 group and the placebo group.

• Reps to failure increased 28.2% from 29.1 reps (@ wk 0) to 37.3 reps (@ wk 4) - compared to a 12% increase in placebo group
• Lean mass increased 2.1% for the Superpump 250 group compared to 0.3% for the placebo group
• Upper extremity lean mass increased 5.5% compared to just 0.3% for placebo group
• Body fat percent reduced by 0.9% for super pump 250 group compared to a 0.9% gain for placebo group

Below is a chart of the study showing the gain differences between placebo group and Super Pump 250 group:

Hofheins et al. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 
2008 5(Suppl 1):P17   doi:10.1186/1550-2783-5-S1-P17

These results led to the conclusion that Gaspari Nutrition Super Pump 250 supplement "enhances gains in muscular performance and lean mass, and also leads to a small, but statistically significant reduction in body fat during four weeks of intense resistance training. Future studies should confirm these results and clarify the molecular mechanisms by which SP250 exerts the observed salutary effects." [12]

So, let's look at the claims made by Gaspari Super Pump 250 one more time:

• Significant Increases in Lean Mass & Strength (check)
• Simultaneously Reduces Body Fat Percentage (check)

Since the study did not mention about qualitative effects such as pump and vascularity, I can fill in here and say "check" for the other remaining claims; however, keep in mind that this is simply anecdotal and not scientific. =)

• Causes Rapid and Measurable Full Body Pumps (check)
• Stimulates Roadmap Vascularity (check)
• Triggers Explosive Energy and Acute Mental Focus (check)
