Overview Maurten's sodium bicarbonate buffering protocol — bicarbonate mini-tablets encapsulated in a hydrogel that lets you dose 0.3g/kg pre-race without the GI distress that usually blocks bicarb loading. Five variants sized by bodyweight — Bicarb 12 (~55kg athlete), 15 (57–68kg), 19 (70–84kg), 22 (86kg+), 25 (larger athletes). The number is grams of sodium bicarbonate per dose.. Dosing guidance: start at ~0.25g/kg bodyweight, progress to ~0.3g/kg once tolerated. Details Intended use: Pre-race buffer for efforts at or above anaerobic threshold — mile through 10km track, time trials, 60–90 minute intense climbs, interval workouts. Bicarbonate neutralises hydrogen ions from lactic acid so the athlete holds power closer to redline for longer.Protocol: consume 1.5 to 2 hours before the hard effort and at least 1 hour after the prior mealMaximum 2–3 doses per week; weekly total not to exceed ~0.75g/kgThree-component dose — mixing Bowl (A), Hydrogel sachet (B), Bicarbonate mini-tablets (C). The hydrogel encapsulates the tablets so they pass the stomach intact and disintegrate in the intestine — the mechanism that makes this tolerable versus powder or capsule bicarbIncludes a reusable single-serve mixing bowl with printed mixing line and screw-top lid for travelCertifications: vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free Materials & Care Made by Maurten AB, Gothenburg, Sweden.
