It's in the title. The NCAA is the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Not too sure, actually! But it's in many foods, so I wouldn't worry about testing. Also, the NCAA no longer has it on their banned substance list.
Any GMS product will dehydrate you big time, that is why they always preface usage with at least an extra 32 ounces of water and upping your daily intake to 1 gallon. I know I would feel dehydrated after a workout that I used it if I did not up my normal intake at least a liter or two after my workout.See, I don't think it really hydrates the way people even think it does. When I first read about it, people said that it took extra water from between the muscle cells, and put it in the blood stream. So in the long run, it kind of would be a diuretic.
I heard this also. I realize they are trying to protect and such, but this is a little soft I think.It's my understanding that GMS is still banned under the NCAA.
Good point. I didn't think about it that way.Glycergrow itself is not actually banned by the NCAA directly. NCAA rules as well as the IOC ban all diuretics because of their popularity of being used as urinary masking agents to hide doping agents like anabolic steroids.
This guy has the definitive answer!Glycergrow itself is not actually banned by the NCAA directly. NCAA rules as well as the IOC ban all diuretics because of their popularity of being used as urinary masking agents to hide doping agents like anabolic steroids.
Good to know. I was/am very interested in this.it was directly banned. at the time of its inception, the GMS in it was on the banned list. to the best of my knowledge, that is no longer the case and isnt stated on the label anymore
one of the most underrated products around and its so cheap per servingGood to know. I was/am very interested in this.
I love the stuff myself. Was just curious about the NCAA aspect of it all.one of the most underrated products around and its so cheap per serving
i see. they flip flop on many natural diuretic compounds yearlyI love the stuff myself. Was just curious about the NCAA aspect of it all.
I'll second that! Bought a tub a while back for like $30, dosed it 3X normal dose (I'm kinda big) and it STILL lasted me forever and a day. Quality right hurrrr.one of the most underrated products around and its so cheap per serving
Wait... are you telling me that a governing body flip-flops?? Whaaaaaa???? :irked:i see. they flip flop on many natural diuretic compounds yearly
glad to hear it. CL is all about quality at a great pricesI'll second that! Bought a tub a while back for like $30, dosed it 3X normal dose (I'm kinda big) and it STILL lasted me forever and a day. Quality right hurrrr.
Wait... are you telling me that a governing body flip-flops?? Whaaaaaa???? :irked:
:lol: :cheers:
yup, but its in a ton of foods and nearly impossible to monitor the use ofThe reason for glycegrow ban is that WADA has put glycerol on the banned substance list. The reason is not the performance enhancing effect but rather that it can be misused as a masking agent for other doping substances.
sounds like an ex wife or something?the ncaa is a bunch of idiots. there's little rationale for their decisions. in fact, it's not even a "they" - it's one woman who determines what can and cannot be given to college athletes. she's the most uninformed person I know. Probably received Cs and Ds in school and somehow got to be in the decision-making body of the NCAA thanks to the Peter Principle.
I wouldn't think soo it's really great stuff I have 3 tubs of it.Can anyone really test for glycerol? Ive determined that I wont take this stuff anytime soon, but Im curious.
Can you get in trouble for taking it. I understand and even support the banning of some untdetectible compounds, but glycerol is in sports drinks. I don't see the NCAA taking away anyones Powerade.it's not about whether it can be tested. it's about whether schools can supply their athletes with it.
Okay... ummmm let me guess - you didn't go to College?the ncaa is a bunch of idiots...
cant be tested for and its great stuff. its no longer banned anywayCan anyone really test for glycerol? Ive determined that I wont take this stuff anytime soon, but Im curious.
