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 Bicarb System contains a mixing bowl, the hydrogel component, the bicarbonate component, and access to the Bicarb Digital System.

Details

The Maurten Bicarb System does for bicarbonate what Maurten Gel 100 and Drink Mixes did for carbohydrates — use Hydrogel Technology to encapsulate the bicarb and carry it through the stomach to be absorbed.

Lactate is not the enemy — it’s a fuel source generated during all-out, high-intensity exercise. It’s the increase in acidity during these efforts that overwhelms the muscles and leads to exhaustion.

Large doses of sodium bicarbonate counteract the negative effects of the rising acidity, but there’s always been a catch — stomach issues that cancel out any performance gains.

The Bicarb System cracks the code to deliver the smoothest, most effective bicarb experience ever.

How to use the Bicarb System

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.

What serving size do I need?

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.

The five options are sized by bodyweight (please review the calculator to confirm your exact dose)

Bicarb System 12 for athletes weighing approx 55 kg (0.22 g/kg) 
Bicarb System 15 for athletes weighing approx  56 kg (0.27 g/kg) - 69 kg
Bicarb System 19 for athletes weighing approx 70 kg (0.27 g/kg) - 84 kg
Bicarb System 22 for athletes weighing approx 85 kg (0.26 g/kg) - 102 kg
Bicarb System 25 for athletes weighing approx 103 kg (0.24 g/kg

The number is grams of sodium bicarbonate per dose..

Dosing guidance: start at ~0.22 - 0.27g/kg bodyweight, progress to ~0.3g/kg once tolerated.
