This is not a news post and there is no peg. Loaded Pump is RYSE’s caffeine-free pump pre-workout, brought to market earlier in 2026 and covered by Stack3d in May, and in the material we could open, nobody has since held the panel up against the doses the research actually uses. That is the whole reason to write it up. The formula is not moving, so neither is this verdict.
One caveat before the numbers. We did not fetch RYSE’s own Supplement Facts image. Every amount below is Stack3d’s reporting of the label, and it is quoted at that level of remove throughout.
The panel as reported
What is genuinely good here
Nothing is hidden. Four actives, four printed amounts, no proprietary blend swallowing the citrulline and the taurine into one number you cannot audit.
The betaine is the strongest line on the tub. Stack3d calls 2,500 mg a clinical dose, and that characterisation is theirs rather than ours, but it is the amount that turns up over and over in the betaine performance literature. It is also the exact amount that Core Nutritionals took off Core PRE in its 2026 reformulation — we reviewed that swap — which makes RYSE’s inclusion look better by comparison, not worse.
And the unflavored SKU is a real convenience rather than a marketing line. If you already run something flavored, an unflavored pump scoop stacks without turning your shaker into an argument.
Where it comes up short
4.5 g of citrulline is the problem, and Stack3d says so in its own way by calling it “moderate”. The commonly cited studied range for citrulline in pump and performance work sits closer to 6-8 g a serving. That is a general framing from the literature, not a figure printed anywhere on RYSE’s label, and it should be read as a rough threshold rather than a cliff. But 4.5 g is under it, and it is under it on the single ingredient the entire pump category is built around.
The second gap is structural. A pump has a blood-flow side and a water side, and Loaded Pump only staffs one of them. There is no glycerol and no nitrate source on the reported panel — nothing doing cell volumisation. Citrulline and PeptiPump both work the vasodilation lever; nothing works the other one.
Third, the pump claim leans hard on 200 mg of a single branded peptide. PeptiPump is described as a lentil protein hydrolysate designed for pump enhancement, and we are not going to name a supplier for it, because we did not verify one and inventing provenance is worse than admitting a gap. What we can say is that 200 mg is a small number to carry the headline benefit when the tonnage ingredient underneath it is short.
RYSE does the arithmetic for us
The most telling line in the launch coverage is the stacking pitch. RYSE suggests running Loaded Pump alongside Loaded Pre-Workout, because citrulline is the only crossover ingredient, and between the two you get 9 g of citrulline total. Read that backwards: 9 g is presented as the good number, and one tub of Loaded Pump gets you half of it. That is the brand telling you, in its own sales copy, that the standalone dose is not where it wants to be — and asking for a second purchase to fix it.
Fair is fair, though: this is not RYSE’s first stimulant-free pump product — the coverage says the brand has done these before. What is new is one built to the complexity of its flagship.
Pros and cons
Verdict
Buy it if you want a transparent caffeine-free scoop to run beside a stimulant pre-workout, or if the betaine and taurine are what you are actually after. Skip it if you want a standalone pump product to carry a session on its own, because 4.5 g of citrulline with no glycerol and no nitrate is not the tub that does that.
If you compete under anti-doping rules, note that no third-party or banned-substance certification claim turned up in anything we read, and treat the absence of a claim as exactly that — an absence, not a failure. As ever: none of this has been evaluated by the FDA, nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, this is not medical advice, and it is for adults. Follow the serving printed on the tub.
