INNOBIO has introduced GlycerBlast™, a new glycerol powder that allows brands to do away with gooey liquids. Glycerol is an effective hydrating agent that helps retain water and delay fatigue. In its liquid state, glycerol is messy, sticky and hard to measure, but GlycerBlast™ offers the same advantages without the hassle of using liquids.
Why Liquid Glycerol Frustrates Formulators
Glycerol is a clear, viscous liquid with a sweet taste. Its three hydroxyl groups allow it to mix with water and absorb moisture from the air In production, this leads to sticky handling, inconsistent dosing, and clumping in blends. Liquids glycerol cannot be incorporated into capsules or dry-blended into tablets.
What GlycerBlast™ Brings
GlycerBlast™ is a 50% glycerol powder with good moisture resistance, excellent flowability, and high mechanical strength. The powder remains dry in humid conditions, blends easily, weights accurately, and can be compressed into tablets without sticking or filled into capsules without bridging. Two grams of GlycerBlast™ contain one gram of glycerol and provide sweetness to formulations.
The Evidence Behind Glycerol
Glycerol uses in the sports nutrition industry have been described in many articles. Glycerol hydration is said to increase the endurance by 24% and power output by 5%. It also helps regulate body temperature during exercise in the heat. Glycerol draws water into muscles, making them look fuller, and increases blood plasma volume, which helps delay fatigue. However, results can vary depending on fluid intake, and excessive glycerol consumption can cause discomfort. Glycerol provides hydration benefits but does not replace fluid intake.
Applications and Formats
GlycerBlast™ is compatible with all primary sports nutrition formats. As part of pre-workout products, it blends into dry mixes and keeps containers dry. In beverage powders, it dissolves quickly and works well with electrolyte flavors. In capsules and tablets, the good flow characteristics and great mechanical stability of this compound support efficient filling and compression of these products.
Glycerol Powder vs. Liquid Glycerol
TThe choice is straightforward. Liquid formulations can incorporate liquid glycerol well, while powdered glycerol works best for dry items such as powders, capsules, and tablets because it is easier to process, remains stable, and avoids moisture issues. The only way to check is to conduct a test in your own facility.
Choosing a Supplier
Prior to choosing a supplier, ensure that four areas have been verified: flow and moisture performance in your facility, batch-to-batch consistency, food-grade compliance documentation for the intended markets, and support for practical application. INNOBIO provides glycerol powder with technical documentation, including the GlycerBlast™ Powdered Glycerol 50% datasheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is glycerol powder? A dry, free-flowing form of glycerol at 50% concentration, with the liquid's benefits and none of its handling problems.
How is it different from liquid glycerol? The chemistry is identical; the format is not. The powder resists moisture, doses by weight, and supports capsules and tablets.
What dose is used in research protocols? About 1 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight with water before exercise; final dosing depends on the formula and regulations.
