do certain supplements make u more vascular

[The One]

I am wondering if certain drugs make u more vascular or is it just heavy weight.

As far as supplements go, glycerol will help pull water from your skin and into the muscle.

 

[The One]

u mean normal glycerol that u can just by at the pharmacy. Is this taken orally

 

[the nature boy]

bump, I've never heard of this before.

 

[edgecrusher]

Yes, regular old glycerol, that you can get at any vitamin shop.

 

[Benzi]

umm, alright i don't know what the hell you guys are talking about but i do know this
whenever my bf is relly low, i'm a llt more vascular. Whenever i take vandyle sulfate, i am much more vascular
that is all

 

[edgecrusher]

To give you an idea of what this product is, it was designed for cyclist's. It pulls water from anywhere it can get it (including the skin) and uses it for purposes such as muscle and organ function. Many bodybuilders use it before a show, and or photo shoot. (It was one of the recommended products Bill Philips had for his before and after comp) It also aids in vasodilation, although I am not really sure of the mechanism it utilizes to do this. Twinlab makes a good version it is called "Glycerol Fuel." I have used it myself and have seen quite a difference, it seems to work one to two hours after I take it. However, everyone is different so play w/ the dosage and the amount of time you use it.

question

So then glycerol acts as a kind of weak diuretic. Or am i wrong?

 

[bodyfx]

Glycerol does not act as a diuretic but rather causes an osmotic shift of the water in your body,pulling it out from subcutaneous stores and into the vascular system.It does not make you piss water like a diuretic.However,it should be mentioned that glycerol will only have a noticable effect when your bodyfat is very low...about 6% or less...and even with this,the effect is only marginal.For some it works rather well and for others it just gives them a headache.

would it b wise to take glycerol with creatine since both pull water into the muscle for an increased pump. Or is this a bad idea.

 

[bodyfx]

There has been a couple of companies that have combined glycerol with creatine.They are off the market now,although I am not sure why.I personally tried these formula's and did not notice better results than with other products.You could try to mix them and see for yourself,but I personally believe that glycerol is best for endurance athletes and for pre-competition bodybuilders.

If you ask Bill Phillips he will tell you vanadyl sulfate...I think that about covers it.

 

[MrOlympia2004]

vanadyl sulfate, niacin gives you freaky veins

 

[The One]

Vanadyl Sulfate

I remember reading on the net that vanadyl sulfate is poisonous as it causes a build up of vanadium in the system. You guys came across anything similar about this substance.

 

[bodyfx]

Vanadyl sulfate used in reasonable amounts and cycled properly will cause you no harm.By the way,there is a product called Insulene by Pinnacle that has helped increase my vascularity.It has several new insulin mimickers.

Niacin

Niacin is supposed to give you great vascularity. I am going to take some and let you know.

 

[iambig_r]

nothing is going to make you more vascular w/out a good diet and training program. glycerol worked for me when i was already low bf.

 

[karde]

is there a difference between the glycerol and the glycerin you can buy off the shelf?

 

[bodyfx]

Nope,no difference.

 

[PANTS]

Do you guys mean Glycerol/ Glycerin that you take if you have a sore throat?
What concentrations?

 

[FitnessFrk]

John G...niacin is a vasodialator which causes a temporary increase in the inside diameter of the blood vessels allowing a more rapid blood flow which screws with your blood pressure.

not a good idea to take niacin just to attempt to look more vascular.

unless you use a lot of gear , it comes from genetics and having low bodyfat.

[bigchewy]

ginkgo will thin your blood and make you more vascular and give you some damn good pump's too.
