Umara U Bicarbonate

Umaras U Bicarbonate increases the pH of the blood so that you can train harder during your anaerobic intense sessions such as intervals and threshold sessions.

The jar contains 500 capsules with 1g of bicarbonate per capsule. This gives 20-30 doses depending on body weight (see table below).

How does bicarbonate help your performance?

In the body we have a pH of 7.4 and bicarbonate that buffers the pH itself has a pH value of 8.3. Research shows that if you take bicarbonate in sufficient quantity, you will increase your pH in the body and then have a little extra capacity to push out before the muscles become too acidic and you can not perform. You can simply lie extra long on or over the threshold, or push out that last minute at the last intervals.

The problem that previously arose was the gas formation that arose when the bicarbonate with pH 8.3 passes the stomach with pH 1.5. The big difference in pH between bicarbonate and stomach creates a strong chemical reaction when the alkali meets a very acidic environment and a reaction occurs with gas formation as a result = not nice for your stomach.

Umara has solved this by encapsulating the bicarbonate in special acid-resistant capsules that pass through the stomach and release the bicarbonate first into the small intestine, where it is then absorbed by the blood.

The difference in pH between bicarbonate and small intestine where the bicarbonate is taken up is low, which reduces the risk of stomach problems, but with a maintained effect. #sciencebyumara

The number of portions in the jar varies depending on body weight because one portion is adapted to body weight. The table below is based on intake 0.2 g / kg body weight, which corresponds to 1 capsule per 5 kg body weight. If you weigh 75kg, 15 capsules will be your dose. See table below.

If you do not notice any effect, increase the intake to 0.3 g / kg body weight.

Recommended intake based on body weight *

The following recommendation is the standard recommendation and it gives 0.3 g bicarbonate / kg body weight (corresponding to 1 capsule per 3.3 kg body weight), which research has shown to be a performance-enhancing dose when bicarbonate is taken in powder form. Start with an emergency dose and use buffering only if you can not cope with an emergency dose.

With capsules, it is theoretically possible to reduce the dose down to 0.2 g bicarbonate / kg body weight according to the following table. Our recommendation is to start according to the table below with 0.2g / kg body weight. If it works well, increase gradually up to 0.3 g / k according to the table above. But intake according to the table below is a good starting dose for most people.

* The intake recommendation refers to a normal-weight person (BMI 20-25). The capsules are taken together with 500ml of water

** The buffering dose is divided into 2-4 intakes per day together with 300-500ml water / intake. Last intake 2-3 hours before activity.
