Glycerol Monostearate is a combiunation of Glycerol (a carbohydrate) and stearic acid (a saturated fatty acid).
Although technically a fat, glycerol monostearate acts unlike most saturated fats as human studies have shown it to have a neutral or negative effect on serum cholestrol levels.

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. For users this should mean glycerol monostearate quickly improves hydration and the absorption of other supplements that are taken with it. The end result is faster delivery of nutrients and added "pump" effect during training which should help training intensity and duration.

Note, our glycerol monostearate is the most pure 90 type (rather than the 40 commonly available) and therefore mixes much better than many alternatives.

Dosage:

A typical dose of glycerol monostearate is between 10 and 20g's. For most effective results it is recommended it be used with electrolytes or amino acids before, during or after training as it aids delievery of these to the body.
