Still a little confused on supercarb, been using since it's inception in shakes during lean bulking phases, however, I do have one fear, since it is a fructose derivitive will it only replace liver glycogen and not muscular glycogen?

No, it's a sucrose derivative. It will metabolize to both glucose and fructose.

Yeah, with its metabolic profile, I think it would help replenish muscle glycogen very well.

I can attest to this on an anecdotal level. I have been using Supercarb almost religiously on my carb-up days (ketogenic dieter here) and have experienced exceptional Glycogen Replenishment.
