Will concentrated glycerin powder such as that found in glycergrow 2 effectively emulsify arachodonic acid (ARA). Please prove proof of answer. IF so, what dose is sufficient to achieve similiar affects to 6g's of GMS?
Will Glycergrow 2 effectively emulsify ARA

just use Soy Lecithin

already have glycergrow 2 in hand, and its day 2 of x-gel /magnitropin stack. Plus, I prefer not to put soy products in my body. I have also read that the emulsification properties of lechithin are only OK compared to GMS.

Unfortunately no. The reformulation isnt ideal for emulsification as the previous version.
While Soy Lecithin is from soy, it doesn't contain much, if any, of the properties that make it 'bad'.
As im walking and typing and its 5am, forgive me for not getting detail heavy

So you're asking if it's good enough AFTER you already bought it...smart

If any, there is just Trace amount of Isoflavones (phytoestrogen) in soy Lecithin.no problem at all. People do get bitchtits just of reading word "Soy"

High-yield glycerol's not an emulsifier like GMS is, so no, it's not going to do the same thing. Lecithin will, as has been said.
In the end, however, it's arguable that omitting an emulsifier from an ArA regimen is sweating the details. The studied results are quite sound and didn't include optimizations like we strive for here. There's likely other aspects (diet, rest) that deserve more attention out of most anyone versus getting that extra iota out of supplementation hacks.

Where did you read this, from a CL rep? The emulsification properties of soy lecithin cant be too bad, considering it is used in many food products specifically for that reason.

@ baldy, I honestly ordered it without scrutinizing the label assuming that it was an improved version of the GMS based formula I used before. I am in Afganistan at the moment, so it takes about 1.5 weeks to get an order of anything in

@ newagemayan, def no CL rep, I have no affinity towards there products at all, just an easily available GMS source. The article was peer reviewed and quite in depth rewarding all of the phospholipids/triglycerides categories from various lechitin sources, as well as other emulsifiers such as GMS.
What confuses me is that glycerin is the backbone of di&triglcerides, and the stearin acid tail is the fat? How does this fat source aid in emulsification or grandular breakdown without competing for metabolization like a fish oil or peanut butter would?

@ nyrin and Danes, thank you for the replies. Danes, I know you are busy, but if you could later provide a link to the science behind why glycerin does not effectively emulsify the ara, I would appreciate it. I searched for several hours and could not find anything definitive. Also, is there anything I can do to aid in the emulsification until I can get some SL or GMS in? Thank you for all of your help!

I know many of my friends who have been running ArA with GMS and without. No difference at all. You will be more than fine adding SL. Not only its emulsifier but you will get nice doses of PA.

I have no idea sorry. I only questioned your post due to skepticism over source.

omega 3s compete for the cell membrane and so they tend to hinder the effectiveness of Ara.
If thats what you mean?

You need GMS brah, as mentioned. There's quite a few companies that make it (Analyzed Supps, LiveForce, etc)

I believe he is asking how consuming another fat source (GMS) would help with the emulsification of ArA.
The PB and omega 3, I believe, were just an example how consuming 2 sources of fat in a bolus could compete for metabolism.
It is pretty accepted not to consume any omega 3's with or near your dose of ArA because of its competition for the cell membrane so that's why I do not think he is asking that

Not to forget the anti-I. Properties omega 3 is providing. That works against ArA effect which is Pro Inflam.

Correct, I'm am a business major not a chemist..lol. It just confuses me how the fat from GMS aids emulsification beyond glycerin, but omega 3's compete at the cell membrane.
I already cut off my CLA, and fish oil completely and limit/space peanut butter due to the info provided in previous threads, I just don't understand how there is not enough fat in your body already to combine with glycerin (glycergrow2) to provide the emulsification benefits. I read several threads saying that 2.0 dies not do it, but I was just curious as to the science behind it.

Well all I know is that I had massive pumps and felt awesome from the glycergrow2/ magnatropin/& 4 x gels on day one, and although it's been over 8 years since I touched any thing heavy, I am no stranger to real gear. For natty stuff, I am already impressed. Can't wait to see if I can tell a difference in a week or two when I as GMS or SL, whatever is cheaper with shipping

Get SL, the overall benefits make it likely one of the best products you will purchase, ever.
