Info Bicarb Plus Drink is a slightly flavoured beverage powder with sodium citrate and bicarbonate for young active and ambitious athletes who are practising for very high intense sports, so-called anaerobic lactic sports. During high intensity performances, the accumulation of lactate is often limiting the performance. As a consequence, it comes to a short term drop of the pH value of the blood. Bicarb Plus Drink is a competition supplement for ambitious athletes of all disciplines in which lactate rises are performance-limiting such as rowing, sprint disciplines, skiing, swimming, etc. Application Suitable for swimmers, sprinters, for rowing, for martial arts like judo, for skiing, cross-country skiing, bobsleigh, speed climbing, etc… As acute loading 2-1 hour before competition according to intake recommendations. For an appropriate soda loading prepare powder according to intake recommendations and drink within 2-1 h pre-race in small portions. Do not take together with milk. The intake should be restricted to only a few important competitions per year, since a long-term high sodium intake is discouraged by nutritional recommendations. Scientific studies showed that a soda-loading over several days has the exact same efficiency. In this case the ingestion should start 5-6 days before the competition day according to intake recommendations. The positive effects in performance are proved until up to 24 hours after intake. Preparation body weight 1 daily ration plus water 45-55 kg 25 g = 3 ML* ca. 700 ml 55-65 kg 30 g = 4 ML* ca. 850 ml 65-75 kg 34 g = 4.5 ML* ca. 1000 ml 75-85 kg 39 g = 5 ML* ca. 1100 ml 85-95 kg 44 g = 5.5 ML* ca. 1250 ml *ML = scoops Note Changes in urin pH can be expected due to the bicarbonate supplementation. If an athlete gets called up for a doping test, it can take several hours until the urine pH value raises up again to an acceptable value for the control board. Bicarb Plus Drink does not contain any active doping substances and can also be used by elite athletes. Do not exceed recommended daily dose. Food supplements do not substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store out of reach of young children. In individual cases gastrointestinal problems may occur. A high salt intake is discouraged for salt-sensitive persons with high blood pressure, restricted renal function, with asthma, as well as for pregnant and breastfeeding women, children and adolescents. These groups should withhold from the intake of Bicarb Plus Drink.
