Levrone Formula Extreme Nitric Pump
- 2 Comment
Kevin Levrone was a major body building star throughout the 1990s. His accomplishments on and off the bodybuilding stage are well known. He has now come out with an interesting supplement that may make some waves in the very crowded and competitive, pre-workout “pump” supplement category. The Levrone Formula looks to differentiate itself from the supplement crowd by doing a few novel things:
- No proprietary blends - you know exactly how much of each ingredient you are getting
- No fillers - the cheap, hidden carbs that form the basis of many pre-workout formulas
- No artificial sweeteners or colours
- No added synthetic caffeine
Let’s now take a look at the ingredient found in the Levrone Formula’s Extreme Nitric Pump supplement.
Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) 5g Citrulline Malate 3g Peak ATP® 250mg Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH) 5mg Yerba Mate Extract 1000mg L-Tyrosine 2g Magnesium (Magnesium Aspartate) 1000mg Potassium (Potassium Aspartate) 1000mg Niacin 50mg Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 1000mg
I like the inclusion of Citrulline Malate, Peak ATP, Yerba Mate Extract, L-Tyrosine and Magnesium (though that’s a very healthy dose of magnesium). I am not a huge fan of the Arginine and I don’t think a large dose of Vitamin C really belongs in a pre-workout supplement. The NADH is a bit of an unknown but looks intriguing.
My overall impression of the Levrone Formula is positive. I also like the fact that Kevin chose to leave out artificial sweeteners, artificial colours and other fillers along with potentially harsh stimulants (like 1,3-Dimethylamylamine) which should make this supplement a good choice for those looking to increase athletic performance. It can be found for around $1.75 per serving, which is quite reasonable for the many quality ingredients that make up the Levrone Formula Extreme Nitric Pump.

Was pleased to see this review. Impressed by your clarity and intelligence. Want to clear up a few things:
1. The magnesium is in aspartate form and has no deleterious gastroinstestinal effects. However, due to perceptions, we are lowering it, the change is reflected on new labels already and luckily the net physical effect is negligible.
2. The serving size has become an issue when comparing cost per serving size. This is an intriguing little tidbit in the industry – SuperPump 250 and NoXplode, for instance, list a serving as one scoop, but in the fine print say “take 3 scoops,” to get the full effect. Classic bait and switch, whereas my formula is a flat scoop MAX – if anything you can take half or a third to ramp up. Our formula is actually a WAY better value and lasts twice or three times as long, but the way serving size info is handled in supplement marketing, our value story has become a bit obscured. Interesting to note we never intended a value play, it just happened that way as a result of not trying to outsmart ourselves with value engineering.
Peace,
Kevin Levrone
