Choose your dose based on body weight: 12 g if under 60 kg (132 lb), 16 g for 60–80 kg (132–176 lb), 20 g for 80–90 kg (176–198 lb), and 24 g if over 90 kg (198+ lb). Using the correct dose is important—too little may reduce the buffering benefit, while too much can increase the risk of GI discomfort.

Maximum twice per week. This product contains high amounts of sodium, so frequent use increases risk of elevated blood pressure and water retention. Save it for your most important training sessions and race days where the performance benefit matters most.

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an alkaline compound that increases your blood's ability to neutralize the hydrogen ions and acid that build up during intense exercise. By buffering this acidity, your muscles can maintain higher power output for longer before fatigue forces you to slow down.

FLYCARB's gel formulation significantly reduces GI issues compared to straight baking soda or capsules. However, always test it during training first—never try it for the first time on race day. Take it with a light meal 30 minutes before consuming, and avoid other nutrition 20 minutes before and after taking Bicarb.

No, to prevent GI issues and maintain effectiveness, you must mix the Energy and Bicarb components immediately before consumption. The chemical reaction that occurs when mixed is part of what makes it work, and pre-mixing reduces potency.
