GlycerPump (Glycerol)
A hyper-hydrating agent that enhances athletic performance, endurance, and muscle pumps.
Also known as: Glycerol Powder • Glycerol Monostearate
Overview
GlycerPump is a patented, high-yield form of glycerol powder that is designed to induce a state of hyper-hydration. This increased hydration can lead to improved endurance, better performance in hot conditions, and more pronounced muscle pumps during workouts. It is a popular ingredient in pre-workout supplements.
Key Benefits
Enhances Hydration
Glycerol helps the body to retain water, leading to a state of hyper-hydration that can improve performance and prevent dehydration.
Improves Endurance
By improving hydration and regulating body temperature, glycerol can help to delay fatigue and improve endurance during prolonged exercise.
Increases Muscle Pumps
The increased fluid retention in the muscles can lead to a more pronounced and longer-lasting muscle pump during workouts.
Dosage & How to Take
The typical dose of GlycerPump is 1-2 grams, taken 30-60 minutes before exercise with plenty of water.
| Purpose | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance and Hydration | 1-2 grams | Consume with at least 16-24 ounces of water. |
| Muscle Pumps | 2-3 grams | Higher doses may be more effective for maximizing muscle pumps, but can also increase the risk of side effects. |
Best Time to Take
30-60 minutes before exercise.
With or Without Food
Can be taken with or without food, but should be consumed with plenty of water.
Forms & Bioavailability
| Form | Absorption | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
