i took the green magnitude today. i felt i had slightly upped endurance from it. but heck, you can't assess a product on a one-timer (unless it's one of them pre-workout supps, which i am off of now, at least the ones that are arginine this, creatine that, caffeine this, cinnamon that, etc.) no, i'm going back to the fundamentals: creatine mono, good multi, zma/longjack, bcaa.
i'll tell you what, though. i also, in my NP order, received a sample of ALRI's WTF Pumped, and I don't know, there was something special about that pump i got. it felt like it was the first time i'd ever taken a 'pump' product. it was nice. and i know y'all got Glycergrow. i'm likely gonna be giving that a go in the future. here's y'all's write-up on it, like you didn't know what it said
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. Glycerol is a carbohydrate and stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid, when you combine them you get a fat called Glycerol Monostearate. As far as the FDA is concerned, Glycerol MonoStearate is a fat and therefore results in calories, 9 per gram. 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.
***now that i'm off of losing weight, i LIKE the idea of holding a lot of water, especially when it's in the right places. and man, i know that GMS in the WTF brought me some mad fluid pumps from the first time i used it. and seeing as how your doses are more generous than theirs, i think i'm gonna run Glycergrow next order, which will likely be in about a month or so.
say word, son!
