GlycerPump (65% Glycerol)
A patented, high-yield glycerol powder for improved hydration and athletic performance.
Also known as: Glycerol Powder
Overview
GlycerPump is a patented form of glycerol powder that is standardized to 65% glycerol. It is designed to be more stable and less clumpy than other glycerol powders. Glycerol is a hyper-hydrating agent that helps the body retain water, leading to improved hydration, endurance, and muscle pumps during exercise.
Key Benefits
Enhances Hydration
Glycerol attracts and retains water in the body, leading to a state of hyper-hydration that can improve performance and prevent dehydration.
Improves Endurance
By improving hydration, glycerol can help delay fatigue and improve endurance during prolonged exercise.
Increases Muscle Pumps
The increased water retention in muscle cells can lead to a fuller, more pumped appearance.
Supports Thermoregulation
Improved hydration can help the body better regulate its temperature during exercise in the heat.
Dosage & How to Take
GlycerPump is a powder that should be mixed with a sufficient amount of water. It is important to stay well-hydrated when using glycerol.
| Purpose | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hydration and Performance | 1-2g of GlycerPump | A common dose for pre-workout use. |
| Maximum Pumps | 3-4g of GlycerPump | Higher doses can be used for a more pronounced muscle pump effect. |
Best Time to Take
Take 30-60 minutes before exercise with at least 16-24 ounces of water.
With or Without Food
Can be taken with or without food.
Forms & Bioavailability
| Form | Absorption | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GlycerPump Powder | High | Pre-workout hydration and performance. | A stable and effective form of glycerol. |
