Real results.
No fluff.

Batch 1 was 100 bags, hand-weighed and handed out at Paly Track. Here's what came back — measured in seconds, watts, and wins, not vibes.

Two seconds
off the 800.

"I didn't believe it would actually make a difference. Ran a 4:35 in practice two days after my first bag. That's 25 seconds off my mile PR. My legs just didn't die in the third lap the way they usually do."

5:00 → 4:35 mile

"I've been riding for years and always plateaued around 3.8 w/kg. Two months on bicarb before hard sessions and intervals, I just tested at 4.2. That's not a rounding error — that's a different category of rider."

"Bicarb has greatly helped my performance in running. While taking bicarbonate I've consistently broken 10 minutes in the 2 mile. I credit all my recent successes to bicarb."

"I used Paul's bicarb playing tennis as the #1 varsity tennis player at Paly for the past 4 years. Paul is a dedicated man to his craft, and his product works wonders."

The coach's
estimate.

"Race performance enhancement of my track and field athletes is in part due to the consumption of bicarb products. In my estimation, the gains are 1 second in the 400m, 2 seconds in the 800m, and 3 seconds in the mile."

Dr. Thomas Schwartz — Head Coach, Dickinson State University · Professor of Kinesiology

Batch 1 sold out at Paly Track. Bicarb 2.0 has been cancelled. We had the pellets — then our supplier backed out at the last moment and stole our deposit. bicarb.net is now closed.
