SwolShot Ingredients

In every full two tablespoon (1 ounce) serving, you get the following:

• Glycerol – 20,000mg

  SwolShot delivers an impressive 20 grams of glycerol in liquid form, addressing both proper dosing and the notorious mixability issues that plague powdered glycerol products. But what exactly is glycerol, and why is this dosage significant for performance?

  What is Glycerol?

  Glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) is a naturally occurring three-carbon alcohol compound that serves as the backbone of triglyceride molecules.^[1] It’s found in low concentrations throughout all body cells and is involved in various metabolic processes, including energy production and gluconeogenesis (glucose creation).

  While glycerol exists naturally in the body, supplemental glycerol creates a powerful osmotic effect that enhances fluid retention and distribution… a process known as hyperhydration.

  How Glycerol Works: The Hyperhydration Effect

  When consumed in large enough amounts, glycerol significantly boosts blood osmolality, creating an osmotic gradient that pulls and retains water throughout the body’s fluid compartments.^[2]

  This hyperhydration effect produces several key benefits:

  1. Increased Total Body Water: Glycerol supplementation can boost total body water by 700+ mL when properly dosed, providing more fluid reserves during intense training.^[3]
  2. Enhanced “Water-Based” Muscle Pumps: Unlike traditional nitric oxide boosters that primarily work through vasodilation, glycerol creates a unique “water-based pump” by drawing additional fluid into muscle tissue, potentially enhancing the mind-muscle connection and nutrient delivery.^[4]
  3. Improved Thermoregulation: Research shows glycerol can lower core temperature by approximately 2 degrees compared to placebo during exercise in hot conditions, potentially delaying fatigue.^[5]

  The Dosing Question: Why 20 Grams Matters

  The literature consistently shows that effective glycerol supplementation requires a dose of 1.0-1.5g/kg bodyweight.^[6] For a 175lb (79.4kg) athlete, this translates to approximately 79-119 grams. That’s an astronomical amount, mind you, and far more than what supplement companies can provide in a powder.

  

  While SwolShot’s 20-gram dose may not reach the absolute upper threshold of research-backed amounts, it significantly outperforms most powder-based competitors that typically provide just 1-3 grams per serving. This higher dosage is much more likely to produce meaningful hyperhydration effects, especially when consumed as directed with 12-16oz of water.

  The Liquid Advantage: Solving the Clumping Problem

  Traditional glycerol supplements first used glycerol monostearate powder, which is notorious for clumping and creating a gritty texture when mixed. This not only creates an unpleasant user experience but also potentially reduces bioavailability.

  By providing glycerol in liquid form, Titan Nutrition eliminates these mixability issues while ensuring consistent delivery of the full 20-gram dose.

  Maximizing Your Results

  Full dosage and stacking instructions are at the bottom of this article, but for optimal hyperhydration effects with SwolShot:

  1. Take the full 2-tablespoon serving 30 minutes before training
  2. Follow with at least 12-16 ounces of water
  3. Stay consistent with usage on training days
  4. Consider stacking with your preferred pre-workout for comprehensive performance support

  The combined effect of proper glycerol dosing, the added Cognizin for enhanced focus, and the supporting electrolytes creates a powerful training catalyst that addresses both the physical and mental aspects of high-performance training.

• Betaine Anhydrous – 1,000mg

  SwolShot adds 1,000mg of betaine (trimethylglycine), a naturally occurring compound found in foods like spinach, beets, and whole grains. While this dose isn’t as large as the 2.5g used in many clinical studies and in powdered pre-workouts, it still contributes valuable osmolytic benefits to this hydration-focused formula.

  What Is Betaine?

  Betaine serves dual roles in human physiology: as a methyl donor in various metabolic processes and as an organic osmolyte that maintains fluid balance.^[7] As an osmolyte, betaine helps sustain cell hydration and function in response to various physiological stressors by protecting proteins and cellular components against dehydration.^[8,9]

  Osmolytic Benefits

  Betaine’s impressive water-retention properties make it a perfect addition to SwolShot’s hydration formula. Research shows that it accumulates in cells during periods of stress and helps optimize cellular hydration status.^[10]

  Unlike electrolytes that can disrupt protein structure when concentrations get too high, betaine doesn’t interfere with protein function while still promoting water retention.^[11] This makes it effective at maintaining a healthy environment for muscle function during exercise.

  

  Additional Health Benefits: Homocysteine Reduction

  At the 1,000mg dose in SwolShot, betaine also offers metabolic support by assisting in homocysteine metabolism. By donating methyl groups, betaine helps convert homocysteine back to methionine, potentially supporting cardiovascular health.^[12]

  When combined with the other hydration powerhouses in SwolShot, this ingredient complements the formula perfectly, working alongside glycerol and electrolytes to provide comprehensive cellular hydration support for optimal performance.

• Cognizin® Citicoline – 500mg

  In the competitive world of pump supplements, SwolShot stands apart by including a full 500mg dose of Cognizin® citicoline in each two-tablespoon serving. While most pump products focus solely on muscle, SwolShot recognizes that peak performance requires both physical and mental enhancement.

  What is Cognizin® Citicoline?

  Cognizin® is a patented^[13-16] form of citicoline (CDP-choline), a naturally occurring compound that serves as an essential intermediate in cell membrane phospholipid synthesis.^[17] When consumed, citicoline breaks down into choline and cytidine, which are rapidly absorbed and cross the blood-brain barrier, where they play crucial roles in brain function and cellular health.^[18]

  The Mental Performance Advantage

  While your standard pump supplement only targets vasodilation and cell volumization, SwolShot delivers a comprehensive approach to performance by:

  • Supporting focus and attention – Cognizin® helps improve focus and attention, allowing you to maintain mental intensity throughout your workout.^[19]
  

  Cognizin® Citicoline is dubbed the The Brain Choline not just because it provides choline, but because it also supplies cytidine, which is also needed for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine

  • Enhancing motor speed – Research shows that citicoline supplementation can improve psychomotor speed, translating to more efficient movement patterns during training.^[20]
  • Supporting brain energy – Cognizin® supports mental energy and energy utilization in the brain, helping you stay mentally sharp when fatigue sets in.^[21]

  Why 500mg is the Super Shot

  SwolShot’s 500mg dose of Cognizin® isn’t arbitrary – it’s the clinically validated amount shown to deliver optimal cognitive benefits. Studies using 500mg daily have demonstrated significant improvements in attention, focus, and mental processing speed.^[19]

  But there’s so much more. With such a dose, we can include the FULL suite of Cognizin’s structure-function claims, and it’s not a short list:

  • Accuracy (250mg/day):
    • Cognizin® helps improve accuracy and reduce errors while on task^[19,20,22]

This dual-action approach ensures that both your muscles and mind are primed for peak performance. When you need that extra edge in the gym, SwolShot’s Cognizin® component keeps your mind as pumped as your muscles.

• Electrolyte Blend – 450mg

  Now it’s time to keep those electrolytes flowing, especially these two key minerals:

  • Sodium (from Pink Himalayan Salt and Sodium Citrate) – 100mg (4% DV)

    Sodium is a critical electrolyte that’s often overlooked or intentionally reduced in many supplements, but Titan Nutrition recognizes its true performance value. This essential mineral plays a vital role in muscle contractions, nerve function, and fluid balance and hydration.^[31]

    

    Titan Nutrition KRE-EX Unrivaled is the ultimate 2-in-1 pre-workout and creatine supplement, combining 5g creatine with 10g citrulline and 375mg caffeine in one powerful scoop. No need for multiple products!

    During intense training, athletes can lose significant amounts of sodium through sweat — between 460-1750 mg per liter (depending on training intensity and individual sweat composition).^[32] This sodium depletion can impair performance and if only water is consumed during heavy sweating, it could potentially lead to hyponatremia (dangerously low blood sodium).^[33]

    Combined with glycerol’s hyperhydration effects, the 100mg of sodium in SwolShot works synergistically. While glycerol helps retain fluid within muscle cells, sodium helps maintain extracellular fluid balance, creating an environment for sustained performance and solid muscle pumps.^[34] The sodium is sourced from both pink Himalayan salt and sodium citrate, providing valuable trace minerals while supporting optimal electrolyte absorption.

  • Potassium (from Potassium Chloride and Potassium Citrate) – 50mg (2% DV)

    SwolShot also delivers 50mg of potassium (2% DV) per serving from both potassium chloride and potassium citrate, working alongside the 100mg of sodium to support proper electrolyte function.

    Potassium plays a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signaling during exercise.^[31] When you sweat, you lose not just sodium but also potassium, which is why balanced electrolyte replacement is essential.

    The potassium citrate form in SwolShot offers an additional benefit – unlike potassium chloride alone, the citrate form helps support healthy pH levels, potentially improving endurance capacity during intense training sessions.^[35] It’s the yin to sodium’s yang, and is too often forgotten in pre-workouts.

    While 50mg is a modest dose, it works synergistically with the sodium content to support the proper sodium-potassium ratio needed for optimal cellular function and hydration status.^[36]



Titan Nutrition introduces Stim-Rush, their new high-energy pre-workout with 333mg caffeine, synephrine, and dendrobium. Perfect for those who want serious energy and mental focus without compromising on properly dosed ingredients.

• S7™ Blend – 50mg

  The S7™ blend represents another different approach to nitric oxide production. S7 uses a proprietary blend of seven plant-based ingredients (green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, turmeric extract, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli, and kale) to support nitric oxide production through natural cellular mechanisms as opposed to traditional NO mechanisms.

  Research has shown that S7 can increase nitric oxide bioavailability by over 230% at just a 50mg dose, the exact amount included in SwolShot.^[37]

  How S7™ Works

  S7 functions differently than traditional NO boosters by:

  1. Reducing Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS): Clinical studies show S7 significantly inhibits cellular and mitochondrial ROS generation by as much as 17.7% and 9.2% respectively.^[37]
  2. Increasing Bioavailable NO: Rather than simply providing substrate for NO production, S7™ helps increase circulating bioavailable nitric oxide levels by 2.3 times compared to baseline, enhancing overall vascular function.^[37]
  3. Long-Term Benefits: A 90-day clinical trial showed that daily supplementation with S7 led to significant decreases in mitochondrial ROS generation (up to 75%) while increasing circulating NO levels by over 50%.^[38]

  In SwolShot, S7 complements the cell-volumization effects of glycerol by supporting vascular function through a different mechanism. While glycerol creates “water-based” pumps by enhancing fluid retention in muscle tissue, S7 promotes the vasodilation and NO bioavailability to enhance blood flow and nutrient delivery, creating a multi-pathway approach to maximizing your pump.
