Applications:

1.Nutritional supplement:
Due to its property of being a prodrug of GHB which increases sleep related growth hormone (GH) secretion, GBL was sold as a nutritional supplement after the scheduling of GHB, under the names Revivarant and Renewtrient in the U.S. at least until the end of 1999.

2.Recreational drug:
GBL is a prodrug of GHB and its recreational use comes entirely as a result of this.To bypass GHB restriction laws, home synthesis kits were introduced to transform GBL and/or 1,4-B into GHB. GBL overdose can cause irrational behaviour, severe sickness, coma and death.GBL has a distinctive taste and odour, described as being comparable to stale water, synthetic melon aroma or burnt plastic. This differs significantly from GHB, which is described as having a decidedly & quot;salty& quot; taste.
