Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an evidence-based ergogenic aid for high-intensity exercise. B-grade evidence for running and aerobic performance via acid buffering. Works by increasing blood buffering capacity, allowing muscles to tolerate more lactic acid. Best for high-intensity efforts lasting 1-7 minutes. MAJOR DRAWBACK: GI distress is common (nausea, cramping, diarrhea) - known as 'bicarb shits' by athletes. Serial loading protocols may reduce GI issues. Also used medically for CKD acidosis.
