Why Athletes Use Vegetable Glycerin
Posted by Lee ohare on
Athletes use vegetable glycerin mainly for hydration, energy, and as a supplement carrier. It helps retain water, potentially aiding endurance in hot conditions, and can be converted to glucose for a slow energy release. It’s also used in sports supplements for easy nutrient delivery and is rumored to enhance muscle "pump," though evidence is thin. While safe, it’s not widely mainstream, and overuse can cause side effects like bloating.

Combine USP-grade vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) in your chosen ratio (e.g., 70/30) to make a base (e.g., 21 ml VG, 9 ml PG for 30 ml). Add 10-20% safe flavor concentrate (3-6 ml) and, optionally, nicotine (e.g., 0.9 ml of 100 mg/ml for 3 mg/ml strength). Mix in a bottle, shake well, and steep 1-2 weeks in a cool, dark place. Test, adjust, and vape! Use gloves and precise tools for safety.
