One of the best-kept secrets in bodybuilding and competitive sports
When it comes to maximizing muscle cell volume, most athletes and bodybuilders usually spontaneously think of creatine, but there is another completely natural and harmless active ingredient that has long been a well-kept secret in the field of bodybuilding and competitive sports in general: glycerine. But glycerine can do much more than just increase muscle cell volume. In addition to increasing muscle cell volume, glycerine can significantly enhance the effect of creatine, significantly improve the body's hydration status and even increase blood volume. This results in a whole range of very interesting application possibilities for bodybuilders and competitive athletes in the endurance sector, which we will discuss in more detail in a moment.
What is HYDROCYN™
Glycerol is a naturally occurring compound in the human body that forms the "backbone" of dietary fats, to which three fatty acids are attached. The fact that glycerine has never really been able to establish itself in the supplement industry is probably primarily due to the fact that pure glycerine is a viscous liquid which, in undiluted form, strongly irritates the mucous membranes and must never be consumed pure. These problems are avoided by the patented HYDROCYN™, which is a stable glycerine dosage form in powder form that contains a full 65% glycerine compared to inferior glycerine monostearate powder, which only contains around 10% glycerine. This makes HYDROCYN™ the most concentrated form of glycerine in powder form.
What makes HYDROCYN™ from GN Laboratories so special and what effects does it have?
The first effect of glycerine and therefore also HYDROCYN™ is that it draws water into the muscle cells of the body. This leads to increased cell volumization, which results in a significantly increased muscle pump. This pump is further enhanced by the fact that HYDROCYN™ also causes a significant increase in blood volume. This effect is so pronounced that the WADA has added glycerine to the list of banned substances, as a significant increase in blood volume can mask the ingestion of banned performance-enhancing substances. The result of these two effects is an insane, literally skin-popping pump that is so extreme you have to experience it to believe it.
Such an extreme pump is far more than just an insanely awesome feeling, which Arnold Schwarzenegger once described as the greatest feeling ever. A significant increase in muscle cell volume has a scientifically well-documented anabolic effect that can promote and accelerate muscle growth. In addition, increased cell volumization improves intramuscular leverage, which can result in a significant increase in strength.
Another important aspect of muscle building is stretching the fascia. Fascia is a tightly interwoven network of hard, fibrous tissue that wraps tightly and firmly around the muscles and maintains their structural integrity. Unfortunately, fascia also limits the space available for our muscles to grow. Scientific studies have shown that repetitive stretching of the fascia through certain stretching exercises - and likely stretching to maximize muscle volume - can promote and accelerate muscle growth.
Incidentally, increased muscle cell volumization is one of the main reasons that aromatizing steroids, which cause severe water retention in muscle tissue, increase muscle growth and strength much more than non-aromatizing steroids, which do not cause water retention.
Another advantage of HYDROCYN™ is that it significantly improves the body's hydration, which is particularly beneficial when training at higher temperatures. Sufficient hydration is so important because even slight dehydration resulting in a loss of just 2% of body fluid leads to a significant drop in physical performance, and this applies equally to strength athletes and endurance athletes. This is also the reason why glycerine is used by numerous top athletes in endurance sports.
HYDROCYN™ for a harder, more defined and more vascular appearance in competitive bodybuilders
Glycerine has long been an insider tip for competitive bodybuilders. If the body fat percentage is already very low, HYDROCYN™ can help the athlete to achieve a harder and drier appearance by drawing unwanted water from the subcutaneous tissue into the muscle cells. This effect is enhanced by the fact that Hydri Max™ significantly increases muscle cell volume, making the muscles appear larger and firmer. As an added bonus, the aforementioned increase in blood volume caused by HYDROCYN™ significantly improves vascularity.
*Ifyou want a hard, defined look for a competition with maximum muscle fullness and veins like streets on a road map, then HYDROCYN™ is exactly what you need!
Which supplements can HYDROCYN™ work synergistically with?
Scientific studies have shown that glycerol - and therefore HYDROCYN™ - can dramatically increase the cell volumizing effects of creatine. A combination of creatine and glycerine resulted in 40% more cell volumization than creatine alone and 50% more cell volumization than glycerine alone. It is therefore more than a good idea to mix a portion of HYDROCYN™ with your creatine.
If you want an insane pump that is out of this world and you have been disappointed by all other pump supplements so far, then you should combine HYDROCYN™ with a pump supplement that increases the pump by increasing nitric oxide production and blood flow to the trained muscles. Since HYDROCYN™ unfolds its effect via a completely different pathway, the individual effects of HYDROCYN™ and pump supplements, which work by increasing nitric oxide production, will add up, resulting in a pump that you would not have previously thought possible. Good candidates for such a combination would be, for example, our Arginine Polyhydrate™ and/or our Citrulline Polyhydrate™. We also use this principle in our popular Narc Limited Edition 2K16. Of course, creatine should not be missing from such a combination in order to achieve maximum muscle cell volumization.
The GN Laboratories quality guarantee
We only use the purest and highest quality ingredients on the market. In order to guarantee you the consistent, highest quality of all our products, each of our products is regularly tested in the laboratory for the purity and quality of all its ingredients.
Important note: Due to the natural physical properties of HYDROCYN™ glycerine, the powder has a slightly sticky consistency. This is not due to an excessive moisture content, but is rather a normal physical property of HYDROCYN™ Glycerin. The shelf life and effect of the product are not affected by this.
Important note for athletes who have to undergo doping tests: Some sports organizations, such as WADA, prohibit the use of larger amounts (over 2g of pure glycerine) of glycerine prior to athletic competitions, as an increase in blood volume caused by glycerine can mask the use of banned performance-enhancing compounds. Therefore, please clarify the use of HYDROCYN™ with your sports organization in advance.
