Glycerol

[M56M]

Twinlabs had it in a bottle for about $6. Check DPS Nutrition online. MM2K back in the day (when it was worth reading) wrote of a concoction of Glycerol and 4 oz wine and 10g creatine. I tried it and it worked good but I swallowed each separate. Glycerol is very thick and SWEET -- try not to gag.

LOL...yeah i would do the same, i don't think that would taste very good to mix the 3 of them together.

Thanks for the info though, take care.

I'm thinking of using this to keep hydrated during extended bouts of....(wait for it!).... dancing.
I'm going to Ibiza this summer and tend to dehydrate big time.
Would glycerol aid in keeping hydration levels high?
If so, does anyone have the exact protocol for administration?
Thanks

Yes, I suppose the same as for a DNP cycle:
1 tablespoon 3 times per day with lots of water.

Yeah, I think I remember reading how endurance athletes can use glycerine to keep hydrated.
If this is so, how effective will it be during extended hours of dancing? What is the mechanism of action?
EG.

I'm jealous.

It is a trip I'm going to make one of these years. No way I can spring for it this year.

How did you get your reservations and where? Every time I've ever had the itch to check out the lodging in Ibiza, they're always booked through summer!

The thought was that glycerol would draw water into the circulating compartment and hold it there (osmotic pressure) preventing cardiac drift in endurance athletes during long runs, the results were mixed. If you consume glycerol, it will stay in the blood for about 4 hrs. It is metabolized like glucose, but very slowly and doesn't raise insulin.

The thought in bodybuilding is that it would draw water from the sc compartment into circulation, thus a harder more vascular look. Too much of the stuff and it can dry out your brain and give you headaches. Mix about a 20% solution with water, if I remember it is about 5 ml/kg of a 20% solution.

My guess would be to consume it about 3 times over a 12 hr period and see what happens. That should be enough time to get the desired fluid shifts. But, you have to be lean to begin with. Too many competitors confuse fat with water retention, or perhaps I should say a state of denial with regard to what they are really holding.

Bunkka: You simply must go before its too late! Ibiza is amazing. Beautiful beaches, beautiful women, beautiful weather and the MOST beautiful music on this earth.
Thats funny you finding it hard to find reservations.
I'm in England and packages to the island are really cheap. Ibiza is like Mexico is to you guys in the U.S.
Keep trying bro!

wilson6:Thanks for the info. I should be around 8% body fat so I should reap the aesthetic benefits. If not I'm interested in the hydrating benefits too.
Can you think of any adverse reactions one may have if taking glycerol when rolling or taking ECA?
