Glycerol is one of the more impressive supplements currently on the market with several outstanding benefits. However, the fact that it’s an osmolyte can cause some problems. That’s where HydroPrime® Glycerol comes in! This is the ultimate Glycerol supplement - no stability problems, no clumping, and excellent texture. And, it’s a branded, premium quality ingredient. If you’re not using it in your pre-workout, you’re missing out. 

What Is Glycerol?

Glycerol is a 3-carbon molecule classified as a sugar alcohol. It’s a byproduct of glucose and fatty acid metabolism. In addition, it’s required for gluconeogenesis, a process whereby the liver synthesizes glucose. It’s a food additive that comes mainly from vegetable oil. As a supplement ingredient, it’s primarily known for promoting hyperhydration, which in itself has a number of benefits. When you consume it, the body stays more hydrated than normal. Glycerol increases total water volume in the body, literally like a sponge. ^(1,2)

What Is HydroPrime Glycerol?

HydroPrime is a patented, breakthrough form of Glycerol that’s standardized to a minimum of 65%. It was designed to finally overcome the clumping and stability issues that plague other Glycerol formulations. Also, it’s extremely stable and does not have a gritty consistency.

The Benefits Of HydroPrime

Supports Hydration 

As noted, HydroPrime is known for promoting hyperhydration. This allows you to perform at the highest level for a longer period of time. It also impacts the other benefits of this amazing ingredient.⁽³⁾

Promotes Cell Volumization

One of the biggest benefits of Glycerol in general and HydroPrime in particular are water-based pumps (or cell volumization). That means it pulls water into the muscle cells, literally blowing them up like a water balloon. Creatine was the original cell volumizer. Now, there are several more, including betaine, taurine, and of course Glycerol. Imagine the pumps from using a pre-workout containing HydroPrime and multiple cell volumizers plus nitric oxide boosters.

Supports Endurance

One of the biggest benefits of HydroPrime Glycerol is its ability to promote greater endurance. This is backed up by research. Clinical studies have shown that Glycerol supports increased endurance by as much as 24%. While some studies used significant dosing, it should be noted that Glycerol is very effective in much smaller dosages. ^(4,5)

Protects From Negative Effects Of Training In The Heat

Hydration is an important aspect of thermoregulation. Regulating body temperature during your workout allows you to maintain a high level of performance. Therefore, HydroPrime helps regulate core body temperature while lifting because of its hyperhydration properties.⁽⁶⁾

Supports Cardiovascular Health During Exercise

Besides the benefits already listed, research studies suggest that Glycerol improves cardiovascular efficiency during endurance-based workouts. One sign of a healthy cardiovascular system is the body's ability to pump more blood with a lower heart rate. Individuals that engage in several endurance workouts per week tend to have lower heart rates than those who exercise less. That’s because their bodies are better equipped to pump blood. Plus, the heart doesn’t have to work as hard.⁽⁷⁾
