Efficacy of salt and glycerol for hyperhydration

The Ultra Sports Science Foundation Podcast

Glycerol as well as salt capsules are employed to help conserve body fluids during exercise in hot climates. In this podcast Dr. Eric Goulet from the University of Sherbrook in Quebec expands on his novel study examining the independent and combined effects of salt and glycerol on human hyperhydration. Since WADA lifted the ban on the use of glycerol in Jan 2018, Dr. Goulet’s study gives both a timely and thorough look at the use of this ergogenic aid.
