Maurten Bicarb
4 Servings per box
The Maurten Bicarb System is an advanced sports fuel used by athletes during high-intensity exercise — where the boundaries of effort and power start to limit performance. The Maurten Bicarb System is an advanced fuel for high-intensity training and racing. It is designed to be consumed 1.5-2 hours before exercise — priming the body to cope better with rising muscle acidity during anaerobic efforts.
Bicarbonate can be used in training and competition for sports that require intermittent or constant intensity near or above anaerobic threshold — cycling, middle-distance running, rowing, swimming, team sports, and combat sports. It can also be used in threshold (interval) training for all types of endurance sports to help promote adaptations. Although some athletes have anecdotally reported positive results, the use of bicarbonate during prolonged steady-state endurance events, such as marathons or long-distance triathlons, is still an area of research.
High-intensity exercise causes a build-up of hydrogen ions (H+), leading to a drop in muscle pH. It’s a process called *acidosis*. It’s what impacts performance — negatively. Taking sodium bicarbonate can increase blood bicarbonate and blood pH concentration — which helps move H+ ions out of the muscles. This leads to better control of muscle pH — which is a win-win for power-based sessions and races.
One size does not fit all. Depending on your weight and previous experience with using bicarbonate, the Bicarb System will recommend a size during the purchase process — 12, 15, 19, 22, or 25. Each serving of the Bicarb System consists of the bicarbonate component and 40 grams of carbohydrates encapsulated in a specially formulated hydrogel — to be mixed and consumed together as a single portion.
- When: Always prepare and consume the Maurten Bicarb System at least 1.5-2 hours before intense exercise and at least an hour after a proper meal, such as breakfast. This is to allow enough time for the mini bicarbonate tablets to reach the intestine and be absorbed.
- How: The Maurten Bicarb System consists of three components — the bowl (A), the hydrogel (B) and the bicarbonate (C). Open the bowl (A) and fill to the line with 200ml of water. Pour in the hydrogel (B), replace the lid, and shake vigorously to mix. Leave for 5 minutes. Open the bowl and pour in the bicarbonate (C). Gently mix with a spoon until evenly distributed through the hydrogel. Consume immediately. Do not chew the mini tablets.
- Digital Planner: Each Maurten Bicarb System includes a QR code to unlock the Bicarb Digital System — created by Maurten's in-house nutritional scientists to make it intuitive to plan, prepare, and execute a bicarb session or race. It’s virtually your personal bicarb nutritionist.
The Bicarb System contains a mixing bowl, the hydrogel component, the bicarbonate component, and access to the Bicarb Digital System.
How much Sodium is in each Bicarb System serving?
- Bicarb System 12 (12g of Sodium Bicarbonate) = 3300mg
- Bicarb System 15 (15g of Sodium Bicarbonate) = 4100mg
- Bicarb System 19 (19g of Sodium Bicarbonate) = 5200mg
- Bicarb System 22 (22g of Sodium Bicarbonate) = 6000mg
- Bicarb System 25 (25g of Sodium Bicarbonate) = 6800 mg
