Vegetable Glycerin May Improve Hydration and Boost Athletic Performance
Glycerin also plays a significant role in maintaining hydration, and as a result boosting your athletic performance. Dehydration can significantly reduce athletic performance especially in cases where sweat loss is more than 2% of your body weight.
You can prevent dehydration by drinking ample water both before and during exercise. It may be impossible to drink water during certain types of physical activity, so experts recommend drinking plenty of water before the exercise. The side effect of drinking large quantities of water within a short period is that a significant amount of the water will be lost through urine in a short period. Studies show that a glycerin drink is more effective than water or a sports drink at improving hydration in athletes who lose large amounts of water through sweating during exercise.
