ANIMAL Introduces Two New Performance Tools: Creatine HMB+ and Pump Non-Stim

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ANIMAL, a leading name in strength and performance nutrition, announces the launch of two advanced training supplements: Creatine HMB+ and Pump Non-Stim. Both formulas are designed to support athletes and lifters focused on performance, endurance, recovery, and muscle-building goals.

As more athletes seek science-backed, stimulant-free, and recovery-focused options, ANIMAL is responding with targeted solutions that reflect these evolving needs. Creatine HMB+ and Pump Non-Stim are the latest examples of ANIMAL's commitment to purposeful innovation built around serious training demands.

Creatine HMB+ blends 5g of creatine monohydrate with 3g of myHMB®, a nature-identical compound studied for its ability to support muscle health, strength, and recovery. This combination has been evaluated for its potential to promote improvements in strength and lean mass compared to creatine alone.¹ The formula also includes electrolytes and vitamin D to support hydration and immune function. Flavors include Dragon Berry and Power Punch.

Pump Non-Stim is a caffeine-free pre-workout formulated to support muscle fullness, endurance, and focus without stimulants. It features 6g of L-Citrulline to promote nitric oxide production, 1.5g of Nitrosigine® for sustained pump effects, and 2g of Tyrosine for cognitive support. Over 600mg of electrolytes help maintain hydration, while beta-alanine and betaine support endurance. Flavors include Lemon Surge and Dragon Berry.

"These two formulas reflect what ANIMAL does best. They are built for lifters who want real performance support without noise," said Kimberly Harrison-Senter, Head of Brand Marketing at Universal Nutrition. "Whether someone is stacking smart with Pump Non-Stim or using Creatine HMB+ to support strength and recovery, these products were designed with intent."

Both products were developed to fit into a range of training approaches. Creatine HMB+ can be used as a foundational daily supplement and pairs well with other strength-focused tools. Pump Non-Stim is ideal for those avoiding caffeine, training in the evening, or combining it with stimulant-based products such as Animal Fury.

In a peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, resistance-trained participants using a combination of creatine and HMB experienced greater gains in strength and lean mass compared to those using creatine alone.¹

Nitrosigine®, an ingredient in Pump Non-Stim, has also been studied for its potential to support nitric oxide levels and blood flow, which may help enhance muscle pump and training performance.²

"Pump Non-Stim has become a staple in my nighttime training stack," said John R., a competitive powerlifter and ANIMAL athlete. "It delivers what I need: focus, fullness, and hydration, without interfering with my recovery."

Retail Availability: 
Both products are available now at animalpak.com and are expanding into national retailers such as GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, and select independent supplement stores. International availability will continue through authorized distribution partners later this year.
