Glyercol Benefits

Glycerol significantly enhances pumps and performance by hyper-hydrating the muscle with water.

If you drink a lot of water with nothing else, the fall in osmolarity in your body stimulates the kidneys to remove most of the excess water within an hour.

If you add glycerol to the water, this prevents the drop in osmolarity and can extend the hyper-hydration effect in your muscles by up to four hours.

By adding Glycerol to your pre-workout, you can hold upwards of an extra liter of water via this hyper-hydrating effect.

Hydration is one of the most critical factors when it comes to performance.

Only a 2% loss in fluids can result in as much as a 20% decrease in exercise performance.

Exercise performed for more than an hour in a hot and humid environment can cause fluid loss in excess of 3 liters.

Many athletes do not drink enough to offset this effect of dehydration during training or competition, even when given unlimited access to fluid.

Aside from massive pumps, Glycerol use has shown to increase endurance by as much as 24%, as well as improve aerobic and anaerobic power and performance.

Intense Pumps

Most pump products work by increasing Nitric Oxide (NO) production, which then leads to increased vasodilation.

Glycerol increases vascularity and pumps via a totally different mechanism of action.

By raising the osmotic pressure within bodily fluids, Glycerol supports increased movement of water throughout the body.

This supports an increase of intramuscular hydration and overall muscle volume.

While weight training you can expect a substantial increase in intramuscular hyper-hydration that supports bigger pumps, more vascularity, better mind muscle connection and improved nutrient delivery to your muscles.

Glycerol works well as standalone, or stacked with any of our other pre-workouts for a potent additive effect.

Glycerol supplementation can lead to an increase in plasma volume, supporting enhanced oxygen and nutrient delivery to working muscles during exercise.

An increase in plasma volume can also help regulate body temperature during exercise, as the greater volume of blood can dissipate heat more effectively.

Downstream, this can delay the onset of fatigue during prolonged exercise and significantly increase exercise capacity.
