Can you highlight a portion I misinterpreted? I’m always the first one to admit I’m not a chemist and I could get something wrong.
Here are the exact quotes:
1:
An analysis of the studies in this area indicates that endurance athletes intending to hyperhydrate with glycerol should ingest glycerol 1.2 g/kg BW in 26 mL/kg BW of fluid over a period of 60 minutes, 30 minutes prior to exercise.
180lbs = 81.81kg
81.81kg x 1.2g = 98.172g
2:
However, ingesting glycerol 0.125 g/kg BW in a volume equal to 5 mL/kg BW during exercise will delay dehydration, while adding glycerol 1.0 g/kg BW to each 1.5 L of fluid consumed following exercise will accelerate the restoration of plasma volume.
180lbs = 81.81kg
81.81kg x .125g = 10.22g
So even if the only reason you’re taking Glycerol is to “delay dehydration” you’re still going to need a far bigger dose than being provided by any dietary supplement on the market today.
1-5g of glycerol doesn’t do ANYTHING outside of dat dere placebo.
It’s funny to read that Vaughn considering I mentioned it’s need for much higher amounts on BB.com for sometime and was met with lol wtf yeah right shit
That’s super interesting. I’ve never personally noticed anything from glycerol, but my style of training isn’t conducive to pumps anyway, so I figured that was the issue.
I used to be a big proponent of glycerol, but until there’s a study that shows it does anything whatsoever in the doses most commonly seen…it’s just n=1 anecdotal BS
I don’t either, but that doesn’t stop me from eating half a pound at a time. It’s weirdly addictive to me. One of those flavors I need to keep eating to “try to figure out”.
They claim to have. The issue is that a lot of candy corn’s ‘weirdness’ is in the texture… this could actually be a supplement where you want some grittiness or thickness. Like by what you’d get by adding some 65% glycerol (lol oh no I said the G-word in this thread!)
