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.
