One person I always look for giving advice is Haidut, and I'm sure I'm joined by many others. Not trying to say people are giving bad advice, etc. With lack of time its easy to go to a source I can trust fairly easily, and for me its this guy.
So in the coming times I want to create posts which have some of haiduts posts which I am digging up and adding them for others to have an easy go to resource.

The methods for increasing glycogen storage depend very much on the specific organism/person, but if you are interested in trying some news things the first option I would suggest is to get some pure fructose (or fruit juices like apple that contain mostly fructose) and use that as your primary source of sugar for several days. Fructose is supposed to be very good at building up glycogen storages.
On the supplement side, taurine is supposed to help with that but the dose varies wildly from person to person for optimal effects. So, you have to try to find out what works for you. Typically, effective doses are 2g-5g a day.
Another supplement that Peat wrote about is uridine. Read this article or search it for "uridine".

Finally, if you are interested in trying drugs (after consulting with your doctor of course) an older antihistamine and anti-acid drug famotidine (brand name Pepcid) is exceptionally good at inhibiting glycogen breakdown and also promoting the synthesis of new glycogen. It is worth noting that famotidine is unique in its glycogen effects among the anti-acid drigs and also unlike other drugs it has no know interaction with any other drug or any known effects on liver health or metabolizing abilities. So, you could use that while loading up on sugar. Famotidine has been found to be helpful for a number of conditions completely unrelated to stomach acid such as schizophrenia and PTSD. The Peat-approved explanation of those benefits would be due to the drug improving glycogen storage/usage and thus improving brain energetic profile. Here is one study for famotidine and glycogen:

I hope that helps.
