Glycerol Powder (GlycoPump®) | 300 g | German Elite Nutrition

GlycoPump glycerol powder by GEN

Are you looking for a glycerol powder to use around your training? GlycoPump by German Elite Nutrition is a concentrated powder containing 65% glycerol, designed for strength and endurance athletes. You dissolve one scoop in water and drink it before your workout. It is tasteless, fast-dissolving, and free from additives. In this text, you will learn what glycerol is, how to use it around your training, and what to consider when dosing.

What glycerol is

Glycerol, also known as glycerine, is a colourless, slightly sweet substance that occurs naturally in fats and oils. Athletes use glycerol around their training. The powder in GlycoPump contains 65% glycerol, bound to a carrier substance so that it remains a stable, free-flowing powder instead of a syrupy liquid. This makes it easy to weigh and dissolve without sticking to your scoop. In short, you get glycerol in a form that is practical for daily use in the gym or before a long training session. Pure glycerol in liquid form is syrupy and sticky, which makes measuring difficult. In powder form, you do not have this problem.

How to use it around your training

One serving is 3 grams of powder, approximately two scoops, dissolved in 500 ml of water. You take this about 30 minutes before your training or competition. Many athletes also mix it into an intra-workout drink or a flavoured sports drink, as GlycoPump is tasteless and does not change the flavour of your drink. Always drink plenty of water with it. In practice, this means dissolving it in plenty of water and drinking it slowly, rather than taking a few large gulps just before you start. Some athletes first try a smaller amount to see how their stomach reacts, and gradually increase it. This is a sensible approach, as every body reacts slightly differently to glycerol.

Which athletes this powder is suitable for

GlycoPump is designed for strength athletes, bodybuilders, and endurance athletes who want to incorporate glycerol into their training routine. The powder is completely vegan and free from animal-derived ingredients, artificial flavours, and unnecessary additives. A frequently asked question is whether you need glycerol for every workout. You do not: many athletes save it for intense or long sessions, or for training in the heat, and skip it on easier days. This allows you to use it specifically when it makes sense for you.

Purity and storage

Because glycerol attracts moisture, the way you store the powder is important. Keep the container tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place to keep the powder loose and free-flowing instead of clumpy. If it does absorb some moisture, it may clump together; this does not affect the contents, but makes measuring more difficult. The 65% glycerol is bound to a carrier substance that specifically limits this moisture issue, making the powder more stable than pure glycerol. A 300-gram container provides approximately 100 servings, so it will last a long time, even if you train several times a week.

In summary, GlycoPump is a practical glycerol powder for anyone who wants to use glycerol around their training. It is tasteless, easy to dose, and 300 grams is enough to last for a long time. How exactly you incorporate it depends on your training schedule, your goals, and your own experience. Start gradually, drink plenty of water with it, and see how it works for you.
