Pre-Workout Supplements and Whey Protein Powder from PumpLab
The Shawn Ray supplements collection covers pre-workout supplements, whey protein powder, creatine monohydrate, intra-workout formulas and recovery products, the core sports nutrition categories, all manufactured by PumpLab in Sweden. It holds two groups: the four-product Shawn Ray Signature Series, developed with Shawn Ray himself, and the wider PumpLab range behind it.
Every product here is sold and shipped by the manufacturer. BuildWithPros lists them because they sit next to the training and nutrition material already on this site, and links through to the matching product page.
The Shawn Ray Signature Series
The Shawn Ray Signature Series is a line of four supplements developed with Shawn "The Giant Killer" Ray, a 13x Mr. Olympia competitor with 12 consecutive top-five finishes between 1990 and 2001, Arnold Classic champion in 1991 and an IFBB Hall of Fame inductee in 2007. Three pre-workout formulas and one whey protein powder, each carrying a Giant Killer flavour created for the line.
- URANIUM Shawn Ray Edition. The full stim pre-workout powder in the range and the formula listed as the flagship. Flavour: Giant Killer Kool Berry.
- LUMINITE Shawn Ray Edition. A pre-workout without beta-alanine, for lifters who would rather skip the tingling sensation it produces. Flavour: Giant Killer Kool Berry.
- PLUTONIUM Shawn Ray Edition. The stim-free pre-workout in the series. For lifters who want pre-workouts without stimulants, this is the stimulant free pre workout supplement in the range, suited to late sessions or to keeping stimulants out of the day entirely. Flavour: Giant Killer Kool Berry.
- CARBON Shawn Ray Edition. The whey protein powder in the series, in Giant Killer Cocoa. Check the label for whether a given tub is whey protein concentrate or whey protein isolate. Protein contributes to the growth of muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass.
Choosing Between Full Stim, Stim-Free and Beta-Alanine Free Pre-Workout
The right pre-workout supplement is the one whose stimulant profile matches the session. Full stim, stim-free and beta-alanine free cover three different training situations, and that choice matters more than the flavour.
Three formulations, one decision. Read the label on each pre-workout supplement, check the amount per serving, and pick the profile that matches how and when you train. Full ingredient declarations and caffeine content per serving are shown on each product page. There is no single best pre-workout, only the profile that fits the session in front of you.
The Wider PumpLab Supplement Range
Twelve further products sit alongside the Signature Series, grouped by where they fall in a training day.
- Creatine and single-ingredient powders. XENON Creatine Monohydrate, ALANINE Carnosine Precursor and TYROSINE Adrenaline & Dopamine Precursor. Unflavoured single-ingredient options for lifters who prefer to build their own stack rather than buy a blend.
- Intra-workout formulas. HYDROGEN Intra-workout Formula, ASTATINE EAAs & Electrolyte Formula and COBALT Liquid Glycerol Formula. Carbohydrate, essential amino acids and hydration powders taken during the session rather than before it.
- Sleep and recovery. CURIUM Sleeping Aid Formula and MAGNESIUM Magnesium Bisglycinat, aimed at the hours after training rather than the session itself.
- Daily wellness. MULTI Multivitamin Formula, D3+K2 Vitamin D3+K2 Complex and OMEGA Potent Omega-3 formula, the everyday layer underneath the training-specific products.
- Flavouring. FLAVOUR Flavouring Powder, a low-calorie way to flavour food and drinks when intake is being tracked closely.
Whey protein powders remain the category most muscle building supplements are built on top of, and creatine monohydrate is the most studied supplement category in strength training and bodybuilding. Availability varies by market and changes over time, so the product page shows current stock and flavours.
Supplements Made in Sweden
Every supplement in this collection is made in Sweden by PumpLab Supplements AB in Uppsala. That places the products under Swedish and EU food law, which requires a full ingredient list, highlighted allergens, a nutrition declaration and a named food business operator with a traceable address.
Being made in Sweden does not make a supplement work better, and nobody should claim that it does. What it means is that the label has to tell you what is in the tub. That fits how supplements are treated across the rest of this site: read the label, check the dose per serving, and buy on the numbers rather than the marketing.
How Buying Works
Each product page on BuildWithPros links directly to the matching pre-workout, whey protein powder or recovery product at PumpLab. Stock, flavour availability, shipping and returns are all handled there. BuildWithPros does not hold stock, take payment or process returns for these products.
Learning What Each Supplement Does
The Supplement Guide Blueprint, available as a PDF and as an audiobook, explains what each supplement category does before you spend money on any of it. It walks through creatine, protein powder, carb powder, amino acids and pre-workout, covering what each one does, how to dose it, when to take it and when it is pointless in bodybuilding.
Both are brand-neutral. They teach label reading and dosing so you can buy intelligently from any reputable source, including this one.

Frequently asked questions about these supplements
Quick answers about pre-workout supplements and whey protein powder in this collection: how buying works, how the three stimulant profiles differ, and how shipping and returns are handled.
Who sells and ships these supplements?
PumpLab Supplements AB in Uppsala, Sweden sells and ships every product in this collection. BuildWithPros links to them as an affiliate partner. When you click through, the order is placed and paid on PumpLab's own site, where their pricing, terms, shipping and return policy apply.
Can I add these supplements to my BuildWithPros cart?
No. The supplements in this collection are affiliate items fulfilled by PumpLab. Instead of an add to cart button, each page links to the matching product at PumpLab, where you complete the order. BuildWithPros does not hold stock or process payment for these items.
What is in the Shawn Ray Signature Series?
Four products developed with 13x Mr. Olympia competitor Shawn Ray. Three pre-workout formulas, URANIUM Full Stim, LUMINITE Beta-Alanine Free and PLUTONIUM Stim-Free, plus CARBON whey protein powder. The signature flavours are Giant Killer Koolberry on the pre-workouts and Giant Killer Cocoa on the whey.
What makes you itch in pre-workout?
Beta-alanine. The tingling or itching sensation across the face, neck and hands is called paraesthesia, and it is a harmless, temporary response to beta-alanine that usually starts within 15 to 20 minutes and fades on its own. It is not an allergic reaction and it is not a sign the product is working. Lifters who dislike it can use a pre-workout without beta-alanine, which is what LUMINITE is formulated as.
When should you take pre-workout?
Most manufacturers suggest taking a pre-workout powder 20 to 30 minutes before training, so the drink is finished before the first working set. Follow the timing and dose printed on the label of the specific product, since formulations differ and the serving size is set by the manufacturer.
How long does pre-workout last?
That depends on the formulation and on the individual. Caffeine, the ingredient most people notice, has a half-life of roughly five to six hours in most adults, which means half of it is still in the system that long after the drink. A stim-free pre-workout removes that variable entirely. Check the caffeine content per serving on the label before training late in the day.
Can you mix creatine and pre-workout?
Yes. Creatine monohydrate and pre-workout are commonly taken together, and creatine is already included in some pre-workout formulas. The one thing worth checking is the total caffeine across everything you take in a day, since stacking two stimulant products is easy to do without noticing. Read both labels.
Does pre-workout expire?
Yes. Pre-workout powder carries a best-before date printed on the tub. Past that date the flavour and the potency of some ingredients degrade, and clumping is common once moisture gets in. Keep the scoop dry, close the lid properly, and store the tub away from heat.
Does whey protein contain lactose, and is it vegetarian?
Whey is a dairy protein, separated during cheese production, so it comes from milk. That makes it unsuitable for a vegan diet. Lactose content varies by type: concentrate retains more, isolate retains less. Whey protein powder is not usually a source of gluten, but flavourings differ between products. Check the allergen declaration on the PumpLab product page for the specific product before ordering, since allergen labelling is the manufacturer's responsibility.
