What it is

Glycerol Monostearate (Pump/Hydration) is a sports & hydration supplement. Glycerol monostearate (GMS) is a glycerol source used for pre-exercise hyperhydration and muscle 'pump' and fullness. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Glycerol distributes through body water and osmotically draws and holds fluid intra- and extracellularly, expanding plasma volume and muscle hydration for endurance and pumps. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within acute 1-2 hours.

Who should take it

Athletes and bodybuilders seeking hydration, pump and heat-endurance support.
