glycerol monostearate may be an easy to find pure food grade source of stearate with possibly same effects as stearic acid... or maybe not?
And use of glycerol monostearate as a body building supplement. I ordered a bag of it yesterday to try it out.
...
It’s also a guaranteed pure stearate source which I don’t have yet for stearic acid.

I've never used mango butter and can't say how good it might be or what negative effects might come from using this much. Presently I am experimenting with five grams of glycerol monostearate (with my stem cell protocol). This appears to work much faster than triglycerides containing mixed stearic and palmitic acids -- a few minutes when taken on an empty stomach.

Triglycerides are broken down during digestion into free fatty acids and monoglycerides such as glycerol monostearate. Thus GMS is effectively a predigested stearic acid triglyceride, and absorption can occur far more quickly.
...
Not sure about its absorption and if the ester is broken down to two smaller components. Are you saying based on the prediction that lipase will break down fatty acids? Or, do you have references in pharmacology?
Yes. That's how it works. By ingesting highly soluble monoglycerides, you bypass the need to break down triglycerides first physically into micelles, and then chemically into free fatty acids and monoglycerides, skipping two steps. From Britannica--
