I feel that the more blood you can get into the muscle, the better you enhance recovery..plus the pump helps with fascia stretching which is the "sheath" that surrounds every muscle.
But I do take a supplement for health purposes that probably really helps with vascularity as it is a potent vasodilator.
I take Super-Beets Beet Root Powder. Beets are supposed to be a very helpful supplement for the circulatory system and converts into Nitric Oxide which is basically the same thing that is found in a lot of pump supplements.. But I can't eat them as I find them ungodly nasty tasting.
The powder isn't much better as 1Tbsp can ruin 12oz's of any liquid. But I have found that I can take and "Toss and Wash" 1 Tbsp. I just drop the scoop contents in my mouth and immediately follow it with grapefruit juice. It makes it bearable.
I do this every morning before the gym. And the grapefruit juice helps as it's a potentiator and extends the "half-life" of pretty much anything you take orally.

Nice! Where can I pick up this beet powder or do they have it in pill form?
