gorilla mode glycerol pre-workout - hydrating pre-workout formula for intense pumps · intramuscular hyper-hydration · increased power & endurance / 1270 grams (mango peach) gorilla mind take your training to the next level with the hyper-hydrating effects of glycerol powder. glycerol significantly enhances pumps and performance by hyper-hydrating the muscle with water. if you drink a lot of water with nothing else, the fall in osmolarity in your body stimulates the kidneys to remove most of the excess water within an hour. if you add glycerol to the water, this prevents the drop in osmolarity and can extend the hyper-hydration effect in your muscles by up to four hours. by adding glycerol to your pre-workout, you can hold upwards of an extra liter of water via this hyper-hydrating effect. hydration is one of the most critical factors when it comes to performance. only a 2% loss in fluids can result in as much as a 20% decrease in exercise performance. exercise performed for more than an hour in a hot and humid environment can cause fluid loss in excess of 3 liters. many athletes do not drink enough to offset this effect of dehydration during training or competition, even when given unlimited access to fluid. aside from massive pumps, glycerol use has shown to increase endurance by as much as 24%, as well as improve aerobic and anaerobic power and performance. most pre-workouts that contain glycerol only have a couple grams per full serving at most. gorilla mode and gorilla mode nitric already contain a high dose of glycerpumpâ„ (65% glycerol powder) relative to the rest of the industry, topping out at 3000 mg in mode, and 4000 mg in nitric. while those dosages are effective as is, glycerpumpâ„ is created using unique spray drying technology, yielding a stable powder form of glycerol standardized to 65% to avoid clumping. adding a high dose of 95% pure glycerol on top of those formulas mixed with the other ingredients in the tub would have resulted in a clumpy mess. that's why this product can be stacked with any of our pre-workouts for an even more substantial boost in intramuscular hyper-hydration and endurance.
