5% Nutrition Pump Shot is a 2oz ready-to-drink pump pre-workout shot — the most portable format in the liquid glycerol category. The entire serving is one small bottle you shake and down in one go. No mixing, no measuring, no powder. The formula is built around 20 grams of glycerol per shot — the same dose found in full-size bulk liquid pump products — alongside 50mg of S7, the patented seven-plant botanical blend shown to increase endogenous nitric oxide production by 230% at this dose, plus citrulline and taurine as supporting ingredients. Zero stimulants. Available individually or as a 12-pack case. Tropical Punch flavor. Stack it with any stimulant pre-workout for a complete pump and energy combination, or use it solo for evening training when caffeine is off the table.†

What's Inside Pump Shot — Two Primary Drivers, One Singular Format
Why a 2oz Shot for a Pump Product
The liquid glycerol pump category has expanded significantly — full-size 32oz bottles (like Pump Sauce and Psycho Syrup) deliver the same 20g glycerol dose per serving in a larger format that lives in your gym bag or cabinet. Pump Shot is the answer to the portability problem: one 2oz bottle fits in a pocket, a gym bag side pouch, a car cup holder, a desk drawer. You do not need to measure anything, pour anything, or bring a large bottle anywhere. Down the shot in 2 seconds, chase it with 6-8oz of water, and you are done. For athletes who travel, train at facilities away from home, go from work directly to the gym, or want to keep the liquid glycerol format without managing a larger bottle, Pump Shot is the pragmatic solution. At $2.49 per shot ($29.99 for 12), it prices competitively with both single-serve energy shots and the per-serving cost of bulk liquid pump products.†
Glycerol — 20,000mg (20g)
Glycerol is the engine of Pump Shot and the reason the product exists in this format — getting 20g of glycerol into a clean, shelf-stable 2oz liquid required more formulation effort than standard supplement formats, but the result is the same aggressive glycerol dose that the full-size liquid pump products on the market deliver, compressed into a pocket-sized shot.†
Glycerol functions as an osmolyte — it draws water into the muscle cells and the vascular compartment through osmotic pressure, increasing intracellular water content and plasma volume simultaneously. The practical result is what the industry calls "hyperhydration": muscles become visibly fuller and more engorged as intracellular water increases, vascularity becomes more pronounced as expanded plasma volume pushes blood into the capillary network, and the pump sensation during training intensifies because the mechanical stretch from muscle contraction is amplified by the additional intracellular fluid volume. The hyperhydration effect also supports endurance performance by giving the cardiovascular system a larger fluid reserve before performance-limiting dehydration-driven plasma volume contraction begins.†
Critically: glycerol's osmotic mechanism requires adequate water intake to work. The directions specify consuming the shot followed by 6-8oz of water — this is not optional. The glycerol draws water from wherever it can find it; if you are not adequately hydrated, you will get less pump effect and more GI discomfort. Drink water. The more water you provide for glycerol to work with, the more pronounced the hyperhydration and pump response.†
S7 — 50mg (Clinical Dose)
S7 is a patented blend from FutureCeuticals consisting of seven whole plant extracts: Green Coffee Bean Extract, Green Tea Extract, Turmeric Extract, Tart Cherry, Blueberry, Kale, and Broccoli. The mechanism is distinct from the citrulline-to-arginine-to-nitric-oxide pathway that most pump ingredients use: S7 works by reducing oxidative stress in blood vessel walls and upregulating the body's own endogenous nitric oxide production through eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) activation. A human clinical study at the 50mg dose showed a 230% increase in bioavailable nitric oxide compared to baseline — a meaningful effect at an extremely small ingredient amount.†
The significance of S7's mechanism in the context of Pump Shot is that it provides a completely different NO-boosting pathway than glycerol's cell volumization. Glycerol drives water-based pump and plasma volume expansion; S7 drives vasodilation through increased endogenous NO production. When a citrulline dose is added on top — which also drives NO through the arginine pathway — Pump Shot's formula engages three separate pump mechanisms simultaneously: osmotic hyperhydration (glycerol), endogenous NO upregulation (S7), and exogenous NO pathway support (citrulline). The result is a more comprehensive pump activation than any single-mechanism product.†
L-Citrulline and Taurine
Citrulline is included as the NO pathway ingredient — converting to arginine in the kidneys, then to nitric oxide via NOS enzymes in the vascular endothelium, driving smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation. Taurine serves as a complementary osmolyte alongside glycerol — it draws water into cells through a different osmotic mechanism, amplifying the cellular hydration and fullness that glycerol produces, while also modulating CNS activity related to blood pressure and acting as an antioxidant in muscle tissue. Both ingredients work synergistically with the glycerol and S7 to create a multi-pathway pump stimulus in a formula that occupies 2 fluid ounces.†
5% Nutrition Pump Shot vs. Full As F*ck vs. Kill It RTD
5% Nutrition makes several pump-oriented products and understanding where Pump Shot sits in the lineup helps clarify who should reach for it. Full As F*ck (Full AF) is the brand's flagship powdered non-stim pump pre-workout — it contains 5g L-Citrulline, 2g Taurine, 2g GlycerSize, Nitrosigine, Dan-Shen Extract, Beet Root, and BioPerine across a full scoop in a 25-30 serving container. Full AF has a more comprehensive formula with more active ingredients and higher citrulline and NO coverage; Pump Shot has the superior glycerol dose at 20g vs. Full AF's 2g. For maximum all-around pump, Full AF with Pump Shot stacked together covers both the high-dose glycerol and the full citrulline + arginase inhibition approach simultaneously.†
Kill It RTD is a full caffeinated ready-to-drink pre-workout with 10g glycerol (half Pump Shot's dose), 4g Citrulline, 750mg Nitrosigine, 2g Taurine, 1g Betaine, and 400mg caffeine — it is the stimulant RTD for athletes who want everything in one bottle. Pump Shot is the stimulant-free, pocket-sized glycerol shot for those who have their own pre-workout already or need a zero-stim format. They serve completely different use cases within the same portable format.†
Frequently Asked Questions About 5% Nutrition Pump Shot
-
Should I buy individual bottles or the 12-pack?
The per-unit price is identical — $2.49 individually and $29.99 for 12 (also $2.49 per shot). The 12-pack makes sense if you train consistently and want Pump Shot as a regular part of your pre-workout protocol — having 12 on hand means you are covered for 12 sessions without re-ordering. The single bottle is the right call if you want to try Pump Shot before committing to a case, or if you want to keep one or two in a gym bag for occasional use without carrying a full case.† -
Can I stack Pump Shot with a stimulant pre-workout?
Yes — this is one of the primary intended uses. Pump Shot adds the 20g glycerol hyperhydration, S7-driven endogenous NO boost, and citrulline NO pathway support to whatever stimulant pre-workout you are already using. Most stimulant pre-workouts include some pump ingredients but typically not at the glycerol dose that Pump Shot delivers. Stacking Pump Shot with Kill It Reloaded, 5150, or any other 5% Nutrition stimulant pre-workout is explicitly recommended by the brand for the most complete training experience — energy and focus from the pre-workout, glycerol and multi-pathway pump from Pump Shot.† -
How does S7 produce a 230% increase in nitric oxide if the dose is only 50mg?
The 230% increase is in endogenous nitric oxide — meaning the body's own NO production rather than NO introduced through an external precursor. S7's mechanism is activating eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), the enzyme responsible for NO synthesis in blood vessel walls, through a combination of antioxidant effects (reducing oxidative stress that degrades NO) and direct enzyme activation. The seven plant compounds in S7 — particularly the polyphenols from green coffee, green tea, tart cherry, and blueberry — work synergistically to produce this effect at the 50mg dose. It is a small amount with a large biological effect because it is working on the enzyme pathway rather than providing raw substrate.† -
Is this appropriate for someone who has never used glycerol before?
Yes, but hydration is essential. First-time glycerol users sometimes experience GI discomfort, bloating, or headache if they take 20g of glycerol without adequate water. The Pump Shot protocol — consume the shot, immediately follow with 6-8oz of water, and continue hydrating throughout training — is specifically designed to prevent these effects. If you are highly sensitive to GI-active ingredients, consuming something small with the shot can also help. At 20g, this is an aggressive glycerol dose — appropriate for experienced users and manageable for new users who follow the hydration protocol correctly.†
How to Take 5% Nutrition Pump Shot
Shake the bottle. Consume the entire 2oz shot 30 minutes before training. Immediately follow with 6-8oz of cold water. Continue drinking water throughout your training session — glycerol's pump and hyperhydration mechanism is directly proportional to fluid intake. Can be taken standalone or stacked with any 5% Nutrition pre-workout or stimulant-based product. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.†
