Glycergrow. Bryan what do you think

[Nitrosoxide]

I've been hearing alot of rave reviews about the use of a product called glycergrow.

Basically

"Its glycerol.. helps to keep you hydrated(hyperhydration) - ups the osmolarity of blood fluid.. Basically creates an anabolic environment - cell volumizer, increase absorption etc
help electrolyte balance, vascularity, tight *** pumps"

A lot of people are raving about it.

55$ for glycerol, an amino acid and some salts

I would spend that $55 on 10 lbs of protein powder instead.

Most of glycerol research is around endurance work, but..

who wants to pay 55$ for glycerol when I can go down the shop and get it cheaper?

oh thats right, its in a magic bbr tub of crud that makes it 100% more awsome.

If it works on cycling endurance, it's got to work on bodybuilders. Both have huge muscles and train using the same energy pathways.
