The Maurten Bicarb System contains a significantly high amount of sodium, ranging from 3,300mg to 6,800mg per serving, depending on the dose. This high sodium content is a key component of the supplement, designed to buffer lactate buildup and improve performance during high-intensity exercise.

Research has shown that sodium bicarbonate, the active component in baking soda, can significantly enhance performance in high-intensity exercise lasting between 30 seconds and 12 minutes. This buffering agent works by neutralizing the acidic byproducts of anaerobic metabolism, allowing muscles to work harder and for longer before fatigue sets in. Understanding how to take baking soda for energy is key to harnessing these benefits while minimizing potential gastrointestinal side effects.
