    Description

    What is sodium bicarbonate?

    Sodium bicarbonate is a well-researched natural compound with powerful acid-buffering properties. During high-intensity exercise, the muscles produce acid that contributes to fatigue. Sodium bicarbonate helps maintain a more optimal muscle pH, enabling athletes to perform harder for longer. It is most effective for short-duration, high-intensity activities that rely heavily on anaerobic energy systems. This includes sprint events (typically 200–800 metres), CrossFit® and functional fitness, and HIIT or circuit-style training. It can also benefit athletes performing any high-effort activity lasting approximately one to seven minutes. For best results, sodium bicarbonate is typically taken 1–2 hours after a meal (such as breakfast) and 1.5-2 hours before high-intensity training or competition.

    Why choose Healthspan Elite®?

    This is the UK’s first Informed Sport approved sodium bicarbonate capsule, with an impressive 1000 mg dose per one. We’ve used a delayed-release, enteric-coated capsule designed to pass through the stomach and dissolve in the lower digestive tract for minimal discomfort and optimal uptake. Because sodium bicarbonate is primarily absorbed in the small intestine, this targeted delivery significantly enhances its effectiveness. Each capsule provides a high-strength 1000 mg dose, making it easier to calculate your ideal intake while reducing the number of capsules needed. Formulated by experts and trusted by athletes, every Elite® product is fully tested for Informed Sport accreditation.

    Who is this for?

    This product is ideal for high-performing athletes who train or compete in high-intensity, intermittent or explosive sports - including football, boxing, rowing, sprint events, or anything demanding short, powerful bursts of effort.
