Bicarbonate is one of the most researched performance supplements in sport, but it has often been difficult to use due to stomach discomfort, poor taste, gritty texture and awkward dosing. OTE have reworked this into an easy-to-drink format, helping make bicarb more accessible for everyday athletes as well as race-day performance.

Each serving provides 10g of bicarbonate, using sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate, alongside carbohydrates from maltodextrin and fructose. The formula has been designed to coat the bicarbonate and reduce the risk of GI distress, with over 100 samples trialled and tested with zero reported stomach issues.

The 268g bulk bag contains 8 servings, giving you more control over your dose, usage and cost compared to fixed single-use portions. With a fresh Lemon and Lime flavour, it is a practical option for key training sessions, hard workouts and important races where high-intensity performance matters.

During hard exercise, hydrogen ions can build up in the muscles, contributing to that burning feeling and making it harder to hold pace or power. Bicarbonate acts as a buffering agent, helping the body manage this build-up during intense efforts, which can support performance when working close to your limit.

OTE Bicarb Drink uses sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate in a smooth drinkable format, with added carbohydrates from maltodextrin and fructose. The formula is designed to coat the bicarbonate, helping reduce stomach issues while making it easier to take before training or racing.
