BICARB GEL 40 Lemon 1:0.8

The BICARB GEL 40 Lemon 1:0.8 is our high-performance gel with bicarbonate – engineered entirely for function and effectiveness. Thanks to innovative encapsulation technology, the bicarbonate is released specifically in the small intestine and absorbed into the bloodstream from there. In both taste and intended use, it clearly differs from our classic GEL 40 products. A tart lemon flavor from natural lemon oil meets the salty note of bicarbonate. Each serving delivers 40 grams of fast-absorbing carbohydrates in a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio and 5 grams of bicarbonate.

Bicarbonate as an extracellular acid buffer

With 5 grams of sodium and potassium bicarbonate per serving, this high-performance gel is ideal for loading before the start or during competition, as well as for re-loading to stabilize bicarbonate levels under intense exertion.

Bicarbonate can act as an extracellular buffer in the blood and potentially enables higher performance during efforts of up to 10 minutes. The BICARB GEL 40 Lemon 1:0.8 can be combined with other 1:0.8 products and is suitable for competitions and intense training where a carbohydrate intake of up to 120 grams per hour is required.

Necessary power-kick when needed

I use it for tougher climbs later during the rides, and I could feel, despite pain in everywhere, that I can endure it for longer, and am not so wasted at the summit. The taste feels a bit bitter, but I actually kinda prefer it before others. It's a bit on the pricy side, so I use it only in competitions or extreme climbs.

If Mnsty gives you lemons make lemonade

These gels appear to do what they promise, at least for me anyway. Im not a big data person so I can´t rule out the placebo effect but suffice to say they have marginally improved the way my legs feel after hard efforts. The consistency is slightly gritty as if a standard gel has started to crystalize. That said its easy on the stomach or at least I´ve had no problems. Many have complained about the taste but I find it okay. Its not a sweet lemon flavour but enough to distract you from it tasting like nothing. All in all i like the product but only only use it for more intensive rides. Its just too pricey for what it is.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad that it helps you!

Super gut

Haut rein und sehr lecker

Aufstoßen stört, Geschmack so mäßig

Habe das Gel in der Pause genommen. Danach musste ich dauernd aufstoßen, wie bei zu viel Kohlensäure. In einer Belastungsfahrt sehr störend.
Der Geschmack ist so mäßig. Ich bestelle es nicht nochmal.

Bicarbonat ist basische Substanz, die auf einer Salzlösung basiert und somit viel Salz aufeinmal zugeführt hat. Im Blut hat das ganze den Effekt, die Laktatspitzen abzupuffern und über die Belastungsgrenze hinausgehen zu können. Mögliche Ursachen für das beschriebene Problem: Wenn man grundsätzlich nicht gewohnt ist Sportnahrung (KH) während der Belastung zuzuführen, ist die Aufnahme des Gels nicht optimal. Das muss also trainiert werden. Denn unter körperlicher Belastung ist die Magenentleerung verzögert und Flüssigkeit, Gase können sich stauen. Ist aber trainierbar.
Wenn die Belastung nicht intensiv genug ist, muss der Körper kein saures Milieu ausgleichen und der Basenüberschuss kann zum Aufstoßen führen. Das kann auch passieren wenn man zu viel Salz über andere Lebensmittel oder Produkte zuführt. Dann ist die Dosis das Problem.
Wir raten zu vorsichtigem Rantasten und ausprobieren.

Gute Wirkung.

Gute Wirkung, aber nicht mein Geschmacksfavorit.
