Bicarb System

The Maurten Bicarb System is an advanced sports fuel used by athletes during high-intensity exercise — where the boundaries of effort and power start to limit performance.

When to use the Bicarb System

The Bicarb System contains a mixing bowl, the hydrogel component, the bicarbonate component, and access to the Bicarb Digital System.

Box of 4 servings.

The Maurten Bicarb System does for bicarbonate what Maurten Gel 100 and Drink Mixes did for carbohydrates — use Hydrogel Technology to encapsulate the bicarb and carrying it through the stomach to be absorbed.

Lactate is not the enemy — it’s a fuel source generated during all-out, high-intensity exercise. It’s the increase in acidity during these efforts that overwhelms the muscles and leads to exhaustion.

Large doses of sodium bicarbonate counteract the negative effects of the rising acidity, but there’s always been a catch — stomach issues that cancel out any performance gains.

The Bicarb System cracks the code to deliver the smoothest, most effective bicarb experience ever.

All Maurten products are delivered with a minimum shelf life of at least four months. But if you don't use them before — they are often still good after.

More power to you

The Maurten Bicarb System has different serving sizes — 12, 15, 19, 22 and 25. It's not one-size-fits-all. The right serving is determined by assessing athlete weight and bicarbonate experience. In general, the higher the weight, the bigger the serving size. But without experience more doesn’t necessarily mean better — you need to get used to it.

The Bicarb System

Component A — Bowl
The Maurten Bicarb System bowl is designed for accurate and optimal mixing and serving. It is printed with clear instructions, and is sized for single-hand holding with a screw-top lid for traveling and storage.

Component B — Hydrogel
History in the making. The hydrogel component draws on our years of extensive research to create a specially formulated hydrogel to encapsulate and protect the sodium bicarbonate, allowing for easy swallowing without chewing. Each serving contains 40g of carbs to help athletes pre-fuel their race or session.

Component C — Bicarbonate
So minuscule, it’s massive. The bicarbonate component contains the groundbreaking mini bicarb tablets — small enough to pass through the stomach in combination with the hydrogel.

Maurten Bicarb Digital System

Preparation is key — and getting bicarbonate right requires forward thinking. The optimal timeframe for a Bicarb System dose is 1–2 hours after a meal, such as breakfast, and 1.5–2 hours before starting high-intensity training or competition.

Each Maurten Bicarb System includes a QR code to unlock the Bicarb Digital System — created by our in-house nutritional scientists to make it intuitive to plan, prepare, and execute a bicarb session or race. It’s virtually your personal bicarb nutritionist.
