Jedlá soda (hydrogenuhličitan sodný) - GymBeam

Baking Soda is pure sodium bicarbonate in plant-based capsules. One serving of five capsules provides 3,500 mg of the active ingredient. The capsule shell is made of hypromellose (HPMC) and contains no gelatin, making it suitable for vegans. We regularly test the product for heavy metals and microbiological purity.

Sodium bicarbonate is part of the buffering system that the body uses to maintain acid-base balance, that is, a stable pH.

During very intense exertion, hydrogen ions accumulate in the muscles and pH decreases. Sodium bicarbonate binds these ions, thereby preventing a decrease in pH in the blood and muscles. This mechanism is precisely what underlies its popularity in sports nutrition.¹

Research on sodium bicarbonate focuses on performance during short, very intense activities lasting approximately 30 seconds to 12 minutes.¹

Sodium bicarbonate tastes distinctly salty, and the powdered form must be mixed with water. Capsules eliminate this step, making them ideal for those whose use is hindered by the taste.

This also avoids a second issue. Higher doses mixed with water react with stomach acid and release carbon dioxide in the stomach, which some people do not tolerate well.¹ Capsules dissolve gradually, so the reaction does not occur all at once.
