Sodium bicarbonate can help regulate pH during exercise, potentially delaying fatigue by buffering the acidic environment created by metabolic processes.

“Baking soda. Rumor has it, and data has it, that it can actually be a pretty effective training tool. - Very effective.”

“That being said, what if we could regulate pH better? Enter bicarbonate, right? So without going too far into metabolism, effectively what happens is you take an inhale, and you're mostly breathing in oxygen, O2. When you exhale your breathing out CO2. So the difference is you've gained a carbon somehow.”

“So sodium bicarbonate, whether taken as a cream, or a powder, or baking soda, or anything else, can simply put you in a more alkaline state, even acutely. So this is something you can take right now, before your workout. You're going to delay, what we call delay the progression of fatigue.”
