Summary of Glycogen Content
Primary Information, Benefits, Effects, and Important Facts
Scientific Information on Glycogen Content
Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect glycogen content
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Outcome |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Chromium | - | - See study |
Similar to the failure in increasing glycogen replenishment rate, the overall glycogen content increased by carbohydrate is not altered by supplementation of chromium.
|
|
|
Creatine | - | - See 2 studies |
|
|
|
Resveratrol | - | - See study |
150mg resveratrol taken shortly after a workout appears does not appear to influence muscular glycogen content at rest.
