Faction Labs Disorder Pump Review: Is This Australia’s Best Non-Stim Pre-Workout?

Faction Labs has officially retired its previous stim-free product, Bulge, and replaced it with a completely reimagined non-stimulant formula, Disorder Pump. Designed to deliver intense pumps, mental focus, and improved performance all without caffeine. This product is clearly built to stack with the original Disorder, but does it live up to the expectations? Let’s break it down.   Formula Breakdown: Does It Deliver on All Fronts? This is where things get interesting. With a name like Disorder Pump and a legacy to live up to, the formula promises more than just a pump... it's designed to hit all the right areas without relying on stimulants. So, how does it actually perform across the key categories?We scored Disorder Pump across five key performance categories: Pump, Endurance, Hydration, Power, and Focus. Absorption is considered an added benefit but not scored in the final rating. Pump – 4/5 Disorder Pump includes 3000mg of L-Citrulline, 1500mg of GlycerSize™ (Glycerol), 1500mg of Betaine Nitrate, and 750mg of Agmatine Sulfate, a potent pump stack that supports nitric oxide production, blood flow, and muscle volume. What’s Missing: A higher L-Citrulline dose (4000mg is the clinical standard). Focus – 4.5/5 With 1000mg of L-Tyrosine, 600mg of Alpha GPC (50%), 200mg of L-Phenylalanine, and 250mcg of Huperzine A, Disorder Pump delivers an impressive nootropic effect, especially for a stim-free product. It keeps your head clear and your focus dialled in without jittery side effects. What’s Missing: A bump to 800mg of Alpha GPC and the addition of L-Theanine could have made the focus blend more well rounded. Endurance – 3.5/5 Disorder Pump includes 1600mg of Beta-Alanine and 1000mg of Taurine, enough to support muscular endurance and reduce fatigue in short to moderate training sessions. What’s Missing: The Beta-Alanine dose is half of the 3.2g clinical standard. Also, the absence of adaptogens like PeakO2® or Rhodiola limits the endurance potential. Hydration – 3.5/5 Taurine and 500mg of Himalayan Pink Salt offer a solid base for hydration and electrolyte replenishment. This is especially useful for pump support and prolonged workouts. What’s Missing: Additional electrolytes like Magnesium and Calcium would improve hydration support further. Power – 2.5/5 There’s no Creatine, Betaine Anhydrous, or ElevATP in the mix, which means Disorder Pump lacks the ingredients typically used for supporting raw strength and power output. Betaine Nitrate does provide some performance crossover, but not enough for those focused on strength progression. What’s Missing: Creatine or strength enhancing ingredients to round out the performance profile. Absorption (Bonus Category) – 4/5 The inclusion of Piperine (Black Pepper Extract) and Vitamin C helps improve nutrient uptake and overall bioavailability. What’s Missing: AstraGin® or a higher dose of Piperine could further enhance the absorption effectiveness. Final Ratings Summary Pump: 4/5 Endurance: 3.5/5 Hydration: 3.5/5 Power: 2.5/5 Focus: 4.5/5 Absorption (Bonus): 4/5 Overall Score (out of 25): 18/25 Disorder Pump brings solid performance across pumps and focus, making it an ideal stim-free option for anyone wanting to stay sharp and pumped without the caffeine crash. It may not tick every box, but for a non-stim pre, it lands in the sweet spot between simplicity, effectiveness, and flavour. Flavour Options Disorder has built a reputation for delivering some of the best tasting pre-workouts in Australia, and Disorder Pump lives up to that legacy. Each flavour is enjoyable, and blends easily with water or stacked formulas. Black Fire (Grape) – Classic candy grape Purple Reign (Watermelon) – Fruity and refreshing Red Russian (Raspberry) – Sweet raspberry candy Plain Jane – Unflavoured for stacking flexibility The flavours are bold & sweet without being overpowering, and mixability is decent even with high glycerol content. Price & Value RRP: $59.95 AUD Servings: 25 per tub Cost per serve: ~$2.40 When you consider the level of performance, the added focus support, and the flavour experience Disorder Pump brings to the table, especially in a stim-free formula,  the price feels more than fair. It's a good option that offers real value for its cost per serve. Supplement Comparison   When it comes to stim-free pre-workouts, there’s no shortage of competition, but not all of them deliver where it counts. Disorder Pump lands in the middle of all of them and aims to offer versatility and flavour. While it doesn’t quite match the full spectrum formula of Transparent Labs Pump Juice, it stacks up well against: Rule 1 Pump Ghost Pump Nexus Amp3d Disorder Pump’s standout feature is its flavour profile and nootropic support, which makes it an excellent pick for stacking with your favourite stim-based pre. It’s not the most loaded formula out there, but it makes up for that with smart dosing and usability across training styles. Who Is This For? Best for: Evening athletes training at night Anyone cycling off caffeine Anyone stacking with stim-based pre-workouts (like original Disorder) Not ideal for: Strength focused athletes looking for Creatine or Betaine based power. People wanting full clinical doses in every category Final Thoughts Disorder Pump replaces Faction Labs Bulge with a more complete, better tasting, and more stackable stim-free formula. While it misses a few full clinical doses, it covers its core categories well and brings added value with its nootropic edge. Pros: ✔ Solid pump + focus combo✔ Stimulant-free and stackable✔ Great flavours, including unflavoured✔ Good value per serve Cons: ✖ Some underdosed ingredients✖ Lacks power-specific support Verdict: Whether you're training at night, avoiding caffeine, or stacking with a stim-based pre, Disorder Pump is a good non-stim pre-workout with wide appeal.
