How BICARRB works
During high-intensity exercise, your muscles produce hydrogen ions as a by-product of energy production. This increase in acidity is a key contributor to fatigue and the familiar burning sensation in the muscles.
Sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffer, helping neutralise these ions and maintain a more optimal muscle pH. By improving acid buffering, BICARRB can increase time to exhaustion, support repeated high-power efforts and help athletes sustain performance when intensity is high.
Research also suggests that bicarbonate can support post-exercise recovery by reducing residual acidity, helping you back up hard sessions and race efforts more consistently.
Two-part serving, better tolerance
Each serving is split into an Energy Mix, which helps improve tolerance and absorption, followed by the Bicarb Mix, which delivers the active bicarbonate dose.
This two-step approach makes BICARRB far easier on the stomach than traditional loading protocols, while still delivering an effective dose when it matters most.
