WHEN TO USE?

WHY DO I NEED THIS?
Bicarbonate is widely used by athletes before hard, high-intensity efforts. OTE Bicarb gives you a measured 10 g serving in one lemon and lime drink – no capsules to count or powder to weigh.
WHO USES THIS?
Healthy adult athletes preparing for short, intense efforts: track races, time trials, HYROX, rowing and hard interval sessions. Not for people on a low-sodium diet – see warnings.
I received a regular drinking bottle, not the Flow bottle with the more flexible plastic and carb markings, which is specifically why I wanted to buy it. I don't want 15% off, I want my money back
Tastes good, & easy to squeeze. Only negative is that the top should have a latch or be designed so that makes it stay attached to the gel . Fiddly to handle while riding at speed
Well tasting! I like the lighter consistency compared to some other gels that are too sticky & no problems with digestion.
So far hard to tell reg. recovery and energy effects.
Tried with pre 2 long distance 20+K runs and pre 2 short runs.
