Clumps for Pumps

What is HydroMax? Many supplement users and pump fiends alike are well aware of glycerol as an ingredient used in many pump-oriented pre workouts. Typically, powdered forms of glycerol are in the form of glycerol monostearate (GMS) and contain at most 25% glycerol, with the remainder being composed of fats. HydroMax is a patented, highly concentrated form of powdered glycerol, and silica. It contains 65% glycerol thereby increasing its potency and function. The end result of this exceptional hydration and superior pumps compared to traditional GMS.  

Where Does It Come From? HydroMax is a trademarked product created by Glanbia Nutritionals, a company that specializes in manufacturing and selling nutrition and sports supplements.

Insights of HydroMax:

It holds and pulls water or moisture causing a clumping effect in the product, which is perfectly normal....EMBRACE THE CLUMP!!

What does it do? Many supplement users are familiar with glycerol monostearate as its been widely used in pump-centric pre workout since mid-2014. The issue, however, is that GMS is only comprised of 25% glycerol and 75% saturated fat, which means some hydration and a lot of unnecessary calories from the fats. Enter HydroMax with its 65% glycerol concentration and lower fat concentration. To understand exactly how HydroMax works, you need to understand glycerols function in the body. When ingested, glycerol has a hydrating/dehydrating effect. It has the rather unique ability to hold onto water, so much so that mold can actually grow on it unless some form of antiseptic is added in conjunction with a softening agent. This water-binding ability offers huge benefits to both bodybuilders and endurance athletes. Endurance athletes can benefit from glycerol supplementation in conjunction with increased water intake prior to an event. This causes something referred to as hyper hydration due to the fact that the athletes muscles will retain more water and thereby enhance their performance. Additionally, bodybuilders also have found benefits from incorporating glycerol supplements into their stacks. It drives water into the muscle cells thereby inducing a major pump. Whereas most traditional pump supplements operate off increasing Nitric Oxide (NO) production, glycerol fosters water-based pumps. They may also incorporate glycerol prior to going on stage at a competition without drinking any water to help dry out. This would cause existing water levels in the muscles to leach out and go into the blood plasma. The end result is that shrink-wrapped, well-defined look that so many physique athletes look for when taking the stage. With continual use, the effects of HydroMax build on itself. With proper water intake, and regular use of glycerol, you'll increase overall blood plasma levels due to the extra water your body will retain. This also helps to regulate your body temperature when working out by ensuring you won't succumb to any sort of dehydration due to loss of fluids and electrolytes caused by sweating profusely.
