How does Bi-Carrb work
How does Bi-Carrb work
Sodium bicarbonate helps to neutralise the increasing acidity that builds up in the muscles during intense, anaerobic efforts. It has been used for decades in sports to enhance performance in these conditions.

The Standard Timing — 2 Hours Before Race Start
Most research and current practice suggest taking sodium bicarbonate about 2 hours before your event. This window allows blood bicarbonate levels to peak, typically between 60 and 180 minutes after ingestion, depending on your body and the dose.
At this point, your body is primed to buffer lactate and hydrogen ions more effectively — helping you maintain pace, power, and performance during high-intensity efforts.
This 2-hour window works well for:
- 5K and 10K races
- Sprint triathlons
- Time trials or short crits
- High-intensity CrossFit or Hyrox-style events
Event Type Recommended Timing Notes
Short/Intense (<1 hr): ~2 hours pre-race. Maximizes buffering right from the start
Mid-Length (1–2 hrs): 90–120 mins pre-race. Traditional strategy still applies well
Long (2–4+ hrs): 90 to 60 mins pre-race. Later timing = better overlap with fatigue
Ultra events: At start or during race, potential for split dosing
