Yup - Plain 'Ole Baking Soda
NaHCO3 has been shown over and over to improve performance in Clinical RCTs. Here's the latest on how to not crap your brains out along with it:

Polypro,
My instinct on reading this is that it is bad juju to mess with your acid-base balance. When people are acidotic, their respiration’s increase, which is the body’s way to try to bring their acid-base back within range. If the body is alkalotic, it will decrease respirations in an attempt to return to homeostasis. Too severe a case of alkalosis, and you can run into severe respiratory complications and cardiac arrest. It was always stressed to me in my training (just had an acid-base class last week), that metabolic alkalosis is a beast to fight and the most difficult of acid-base complications. I looked online and the amounts listed in your articles appear to be about twice the recommended dose for most people with heartburn, so maybe it has a minimal effect on the pH balance? You are way more intelligent than me, and I have learned a boatload in your Very Slow Section thread, but this seems to fly in the face of my (limited) medical education. Hopefully some of the medical providers on here will chime in as well. One thing for sure though, I will come out of this smarter. ![]() https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002749.htm Last edited by Dogwelder; 13 February 2018 at 08:55. |

None of the 100+ or so people in the numerous studies on Baking Soda, had any health problems what so ever - neither have I. But if you don't like what you read (all the trials I posted), don't do it. As far as Medline.gov.... Ok... They seem a bit behind the times (science):

https://suppversity.blogspot.com/201...-your-hdl.html I eat 4 whole eggs/day - my last blood work had me in range for LDL (and I'm on Anastrozole which increases LDL slightly) and my HDL was over 70 IIRC (over 39 is considered good by Labcorp) And that says nothing about Particle Size, which I didn't run as I'm in range, with a 'Wicked Awesome' HDL level. Total Cholesterol was 187, Triglycerides were 48, and the LDL/HDL Ratio was 3.0, which is better than the "1/2 the Average Risk" for CVD (3.4 Labcorp - 5.0 is "Average Risk").

Gotcha. Looking at the calculations, it looks like most people would be giving themelves the equivalent of 1 meq of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). We push units of that in an attempt to offset acidosis in patients in some circumstances, which is why I was like “Huh?” How has the baking soda impacted your work outs? Have you noticed a significant increase in performance?

Without doing an N=1 trial on myself, after "washing out" off of every single thing I take - I couldn't tell ya... and even then, I'm as susceptible to placebo as these guys:
