The available scientific evidence does not support the use of glycerol to benefit hydration or thermoregulation in exercise. The abstract from the most recent study I found summarizes the investigators' findings:
They compared a 10% glycerol solution (G), a 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte solution (CE), a 6% carbohydrate-elec. plus 4% glycerol (CEG), and a water-placebo drink (WP). Subjects bicycled for 90 minutes in a 30 degree C, 45% relative humidity environment. Subjects served as their own controls. Ingestion of the glycerol solutions resulted in an increase in plasma
