 GlycerGrow™ is the most advanced standalone cell volumization breakthrough ever to reach the market. GlycerGrow™ combines a proprietary and synergistic blend of pharmaceutical grade ingredients to increase cell volume, aid the osmotic effects of creatine, and enhance the natural muscle building responses of weightlifting.  When combined with a high protein/moderate carbohydrate diet, and a solid workout protocol, this product helps give the user increased gains in size, strength and vascularity.

During a cutting (calorie deficit/fat loss) phase, GlycerGrow™ can be stacked with Red Acid™ and Green Bulge™ to keep workout intensity levels high. GlycerGrow™ may also help minimize cramping. As an added bonus, GlycerGrow™ appears to have little impact on insulin and blood sugar levels.

During a bulking (calorie surplus) phase, GlycerGrow™ can be stacked with Green Bulge™ and White Blood™ for extreme pumps and to optimize your lean gains.  GlycerGrow™ may also enhance your extreme stretching protocol.

During a bodybuilding or fitness-related contest preparation phase, GlycerGrow™ can be used to improve vascularity as well as maintain both workout intensity and electrolyte balance, which may help reach the muscle hardness, fullness, and density needed to win. 

During endurance training, GlycerGrow™ may improve hydration and stamina.

During power-lifting training, GlycerGrow™ may improve explosiveness, recovery, and conditioning, helping to avoid the symptoms of over-training.

What exactly is Glycerol MonoStearate?

Glycerol occurs naturally in the body. When it is ingested as a supplement, it is absorbed and increases the concentration of the fluid in the blood and tissues. The concentration of these fluids is held constant by the body, so water consumed with glycerol is not excreted until the extra glycerol is either removed by the kidneys or broken down by the body. In laymen's terms, taking glycerol in supplemental form quickly improves hydration and the absorption of other supplements that are taken with it. The end result is faster delivery of nutrients when and where you need them the most and the prolonged "pump effect" during your workouts. Our Glycerol is esterified with stearic acid to form Glycerol MonoStearate. Glycerol MonoStearate is a colorless, odorless and sweet-tasting flaky powder that is hygroscopic (it absorbs water from the air, so keep this tightly closed at all times).

Why are there calories and fat in GlycerGrow™ whereas other glycerol (or Glycerol MonoStearate) products do not mention calories or fat on their labels?

Good question. As far as the FDA is concerned, glycerol is a carbohydrate and stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid. Therefore, Glycerol MonoStearate has both fat and carbohydrates in it, which both result in calories. But you have heard that saturated fat is bad for your cholesterol? True, in most cases, but not with stearic acid. Stearic acid is one of the only saturated fatty acids that actually have a neutral or cholesterol-lowering effect on serum cholesterol levels in human studies.

Initial (First Serving) Instructions:

To assess your individual tolerance, combine 1-2 Scoops of GlycerGrow™ with at least 32oz of water, juice, or sport/electrolyte drink, and consume it about 30 minutes before your workout.  Shake well before drinking (powder DOES NOT dissolve well in liquid).

Directions For Usage:

Combine 1 - 4 Scoops of GlycerGrow™ with at least 32oz of water, juice, or sport/electrolyte drink, and consume it over an extended period of time (pre-workout, during your workout, and post-workout). Shake well before drinking (powder does not dissolve well in liquid). For best results, GlycerGrow™ should be used in combination with Controlled Labs’ Green Bulge™, at least 1-2 gallons of water per day, a high protein/moderate carbohydrate diet, and a hypertrophy/volume training workout protocol.

Warnings:

Consuming this product on a completely empty stomach may cause nausea. Consuming this product while on a liquid diet may cause diarrhea. Consuming this product without a sufficient water intake may cause dehydration. This product has been banned by various sporting organizations, including the NCAA. You should not take this product if you have any prior medical condition, including diabetes or high blood pressure. Consult your doctor before using this product.
