When it comes to achieving next-level hydration, muscle pumps, and endurance, HydroPrime® stands in a league of its own. This ultra-stable, highly concentrated 65% glycerol powder developed by NNB Nutrition is redefining how athletes hydrate, perform, and recover. At Historic Labs, we proudly include HydroPrime® in every one of our pre-workout formulas—because when performance is on the line, hydration isn't optional.
What Is HydroPrime®?
HydroPrime® is a patented form of glycerol powder designed for better mixability, stability, and effectiveness. Unlike older forms like glycerol monostearate, HydroPrime® doesn't clump, degrade, or lose potency over time. Its high glycerol content (65%) ensures that you're getting maximum results in every scoop. Glycerol works as an osmolyte it pulls water into your cells, helping to enhance muscle hydration, support thermoregulation, and create skin-splitting muscle pumps.
Key Benefits of HydroPrime®
- Enhanced Muscle Hydration: Keeps muscles hydrated longer during high-volume training
- Cell Volumization: Pulls water into muscle cells for full, dense pumps
- Improved Endurance: Better hydration delays fatigue and boosts stamina
- Thermoregulation: Helps manage core temperature under intense training conditions
- No Clumping or Grittiness: Ultra-stable powder with excellent mixability
Why We Use HydroPrime® in Historic Labs Formulas
At Historic Labs, our mission is to provide science-backed, performance-enhancing supplements built on the five pillars: performance, endurance, energy, focus, and pump. HydroPrime® delivers across the board—and here's how we use it across our pre-workout lineup:
Historic Pre-Workout
This formula is all about balanced energy, focus, and pump. HydroPrime® supports cell volumization and endurance, making your muscles feel fuller and more hydrated throughout your entire training session. Whether you're lifting heavy or hitting a full-body circuit, HydroPrime® ensures that every rep feels strong and every set finishes solid.
Historic High-Stim Pre-Workout
With intense stimulants driving max focus and energy, hydration becomes even more critical. That's why we include HydroPrime®—to combat the dehydrating effects of caffeine, deliver massive pumps, and ensure you don’t crash or cramp mid-session.
Historic Non-Stim Pre-Workout
No stims? No problem. Our non-stim formula delivers a higher amount of Glycerol which is everything you need for a powerful training session—especially with the help of HydroPrime®. The hydration and pump from this ingredient keep you dialed in and feeling powerful, even without caffeine or stimulants.
Historic Thermogenic Pre-Workout
Heat up without drying out. Thermogenics are notorious for sweating you out, which is why hydration support is essential. HydroPrime® helps you maintain fluid balance, reduce thermal fatigue, and stay on top of your training intensity.
The Research
Studies have shown that glycerol supplementation can:
- Increase plasma and intracellular volume, improving hydration status
- Enhance endurance time in both hot and cool environments
- Support thermoregulation and reduce heat strain
These effects are especially relevant for high-volume training, cardio-heavy sessions, and workouts in extreme temperatures—all areas where HydroPrime® shines.
Conclusion: Fuel Your Pumps with Purpose
HydroPrime® is more than just a "pump" ingredient. It's a hydration powerhouse that amplifies every aspect of your performance—from muscle fullness and vascularity to stamina and thermal regulation.
That’s why HydroPrime® is a cornerstone ingredient in every Historic Labs pre-workout. Whether you’re going stim-free, high-stim, thermogenic, or balanced, HydroPrime® ensures your muscles stay full, your performance stays sharp, and your hydration stays locked in.
