The Maurten Bicarb System transforms how athletes harness bicarbonate to combat muscle acidity during all-out, intense exercise. To be taken 1.5-2 hours before activity, this system is designed for high-intensity sports and uses Hydrogel Technology to deliver sodium bicarbonate in a potent and easily digestible form.
Lactate, a natural by-product of intense exercise, raises muscle acidity, which can lead to fatigue and decreased performance. While large doses of sodium bicarbonate can neutralise this acidity, they often cause stomach issues. The Maurten Bicarb System tackles this by encapsulating the bicarbonate in a hydrogel, enabling athletes to take high doses without gastrointestinal discomfort. This formula ensures a smoother, more effective bicarb experience, helping you maximise performance and push your limits.
What’s Included:
Component A– Mixing Bowl:
The mixing bowl is designed for accurate and optimal preparation of the Bicarb System. With clear instructions printed on it, the bowl is easy to use and perfect for on-the-go athletes, thanks to its screw-top lid for secure storage.
Component B– Hydrogel:
This component uses advanced Hydrogel Technology to encapsulate sodium bicarbonate, protecting it from stomach acid. It also includes 40g of carbs per serving, helping athletes pre-fuel their workout or race while ensuring smooth digestion and reducing the risk of stomach issues.
Component C– Bicarbonate:
These mini bicarbonate component offer controlled and extended release in the intestine, helping to neutralise muscle acidity over a longer period. This reduces the chances of stomach discomfort and extends the effectiveness of the bicarb, improving overall performance during high-intensity exercise.
Bicarb Digital System:
This digital system is accessible via a QR code and serves like a virtual nutritionist, providing tailored guidance on planning, preparing, and executing bicarb sessions. It helps athletes optimise their performance by offering personalised advice and strategies for using the Bicarb System effectively.
Note: The Maurten Bicarb System comes in different serving sizes: 12, 15, 19, 22, and 25. The right amount depends on your weight and experience with bicarbonate. In general, the higher the weight, the bigger the serving size. However, more isn’t always better for those new to bicarbonate; it's important to gradually build tolerance.
By harnessing their patented Hydrogel Technology, Maurten has revolutionised the sports fuel industry. Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers known for their high water content and biocompatibility. The brand’s innovation utilises natural ingredients– alginate from seaweed and pectin (fruit fibre)– to create a unique hydrogel structure that encapsulates carbohydrates, the most efficient source of energy. This protective hydrogel structure effectively delivers salt and carbohydrates from the stomach to the intestines, where it dissolves, allowing for optimal nutrient absorption. Maurten’s Hydrogel Technology maximises carbohydrate availability while minimising the risk of gastrointestinal issues commonly associated with traditional sports fuels. Additionally, it avoids unnecessary additives such as colourants, preservatives, and artificial flavours, providing a purer and more effective solution for performance enhancement.
Maurten is dedicated to supporting athletes with a range of physical products and resources designed to unlock their full potential. Driven by the belief that greatness lies within everyone, the brand challenges conventional approaches to tackle the real issues hindering performance. Always putting athletes first, Maurten is committed to providing solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible.

The Maurten Bicarb System consists of three components — the bowl (A), the hydrogel (B) and the bicarbonate (C). Open the bowl (A) and fill to the line with 200ml of water. Pour in the hydrogel (B), replace the lid, and shake vigorously to mix. Leave for 5 minutes. Open the bowl and pour in the bicarbonate (C). Gently mix with a spoon until evenly distributed through the hydrogel. Consume immediately. Do not chew the mini tablets.
Always prepare and consume the Maurten Bicarb System at least 1.5-2 hours before intense exercise and at least an hour after a proper meal, such as breakfast. This is to allow enough time for the mini bicarbonate tablets to reach the intestine and be absorbed.
