Which products are you talking about?? I can't imagine someone actually selling glycogen, as it would have to be extracted from muscle tissue.

prolab makes a drink called glycogen or something

glycogen=glucose=dextrose. Just use the plain and simple dextrose.

Not true. Glycogen is a glucose polymer (like maltodextrin) that is formed in muscle tissue and the liver of animals.

Glycogen is a glucose polymer

So when you eat low GI food (pasta, brown rice, whole wheat bread,....) you store energy as glycogen
