Sodium bicarbonate is a chemical compound (NaHC03) used in baking soda and powders and in medicine, especially as an antacid. It is used occasionally by athletes as an ergogenic aid. During near maximal exercise efforts lasting more than 60 seconds, muscles rely on anaerobic metabolism for energy production. Lactic acid is produced in the anaerobic metabolism of glucose, which increases muscular acidity (lowers pH). The accumulation of H+ in the muscle hinders the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and reduces the activity of glycolytic enzymes, thereby inhibiting muscular contraction. With the progression of exercise, several buffering mechanisms attempt to counteract this effect, though resulting ultimately in higher amounts of H+ diffusing into the blood, lowering the pH. Therefore it has been suggested that consumption of bicarbonate in sufficient amounts will increase the buffering capacity and delay fatigue during exercise. It appears that exogenous sodium bicarbonate may assist with transporting lactate and hydrogen ions across the muscle cell membrane during anaerobic exercise, which will result in a smaller decrease in muscle pH, which, as described, tends to have negative effects on muscle performance.<\/p>\n
Antacid used in the treatment of indigestion and gastric acidity. Adverse effects include electrolyte imbalance.<\/p>\n
A salt of sodium that neutralizes acid and is used to treat stomach and digestive disorders, acidosis, and sodium deficiency. It is administered by mouth or injection; high doses may cause digestive upsets.<\/p>\n
A white odorless powder with saline taste. It is incompatible with acids, acid salts, ammonium chloride, lime water, ephedrine hydrochloride, and iron chloride. It is used to treat acidosis (e.g., in renal failure). Orally it is used as an antacid, although its effectiveness for this purpose is questionable. Externally, it is used as a mild alkaline wash. It is also used as a component in many laboratory reagents, such as various buffers, microbiologic media, and control materials.<\/p>\n
An alkaline substance employed to counteract acidity in cases of cystitis and severe acidosis (elevated blood acidity) linked to kidney failure. It is also included in non-prescription antacid medications intended for issues like indigestion, heartburn, and peptic ulcers. Sodium bicarbonate frequently triggers effects such as burping and abdominal unease. Prolonged usage can lead to symptoms like swollen ankles, muscle cramps, fatigue, and nausea.<\/p>\n
