Sodium Bicarbonate Acute Protocol
Sodium bicarbonate acute protocol is a one-off pre-event dose for short maximal efforts—GI side effects demand training trials first.
Sodium bicarbonate acute protocol uses roughly zero point two to zero point three grams per kilogram body weight about sixty to one hundred eighty minutes before one-to-seven-minute maximal efforts—raising blood buffering for some sprinters and rowers. Nausea and diarrhea are common; practice in training, never first on race day.
It is event-specific, not a daily health salt boost.
Common questions
-
Can you take sodium bicarbonate every workout?
No—it is for targeted acute use. Frequent high doses upset digestion and sodium load; reserve for key tests after a tolerated practice dose.
