Nov 18, 2021 · Background. Sodium bicarbonate is a popular nutritional supplement, with studies exploring its effects on exercise performance dating back to the 1930s [].The effects of sodium bicarbonate supplementation have been investigated for different exercise tasks, varying in duration and intensity (e.g., high-intensity running or cycling, 200-m swimming, boxing, resistance exercise, 2000-m rowing ...

Sep 9, 2021 · Multiple-day protocols of sodium bicarbonate supplementation can be effective in improving exercise performance. The duration of these protocols is generally between 3 and 7 days before the exercise test, and a total sodium bicarbonate dose of 0.4 or 0.5 g/kg per day produces ergogenic effects.

Dirt cheap and dope in pancakes, The American College of Sports Medicine describe sodium bicarbonate as one of the leading ergogenic aids and that has a lot to do with the fact that it acts as a buffer: it neutralizes acid. During high intensity exercise, metabolic byproducts like lactate and hydrogen form in the muscle cells and are the primary co...
Just when you thought this was the weirdest supplement advice you’d hear, it turns out you may be able to further improve the benefits by combining the baking soda with creatine. Now, along with the aesthetically pleasing hypertrophic effects creatine is well known as a supplement for improving power output. Combining it with baking soda (preferabl...
Most of the studies use around 200 to 500 milligrams of sodium bicarbonate per kilogram of bodyweight. The higher dose might be more effective, but it’s a lot more likely to product digestive issues. What to do? First off, some studies have found that consuming 300 milligrams per kilo as much as 2.5 hours before exercise still improved performance,...
Baking soda is a kind of sodium so you may want to be careful with the stuff if you’re hypertensive, but besides that the main potential issue with this very old school supplement is indigestion. That’s why it’s a good idea, if you’re going to try this out, to start with lower doses and work your way up to the 200mg/kg mark, which is generally seen...
Jul 25, 2020 · Results indicated that sodium bicarbonate supplementation enhanced muscular endurance, whether the task relied on small or large muscle groups. However, strength was not significantly improved, whether the task was completed in a rested or fatigued state. Based on its mechanism of action, this makes sense; theoretically, it should help delay ...

Now that the mind-numbing biochemistry is out of the way let’s talk about timing and dosing. According to the 2021 International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: sodium bicarbonate and exercise performance, single-dose supplements of 0.2 to 0.3 g/kg of body weight show improvement in muscular endurance.
That’s where sodium bicarbonate comes in. Because it’s an alkaline, it neutralises the acidic threat from intense exercise, allowing you to produce more lactate during exercise and do more intense bouts. Studies show that the optimal dose is about 0.3g per kg bodyweight so, for an 80kg athlete, you’re looking at 24g.
