AMP Human has PR Lotion has a technology so it is absorbed through the skin so you can avoid the gut and those nasty side effects. They are huge in the cycling world.
I've used a bunch this Spring and what I notice most is that my legs don't feel so tired after an otherwise hard training day.

how about with higher intensity stuff? like lactate threshold?
Nope - placebo effect. No change in blood parameters of exercise performance with the AMP topical cream

Apparently, the GI issues from excessive sodium bicarbonate are avoided with time release capsules.
Thanks, exphysiol.
Tried it after the marathon. Only stomach effects.
I don't think the body has a baking soda distribution system, like for protein.
I believe this new study is mainly just on rowers. There is more speculation that this is more beneficial in sports with less bouncing (i.e. rowing and cycling) vs running because of the possible GI distress. Of course this has been going on for decades. I did a youtube video on energy systems in running and touched on this quite a bit (As well as looked at quite a bit of science/studies):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v4Qwb2eS_E The skin cream is not a bad idea - but the first backed on their product website (From what I've seen was pretty weak and inconclusive with actual benefits). Keep in mind you body produces natural sodium bicarbonate buffers and this improves with lactate threshold training and a more efficient aerobic system. Of course lactate tolerance/clearance sessions are also going to be the icing on the cake - but more for 5km and under racing specialists.

I know runners who wonder if there really is a performance benefit to supplementing with Baking Soda (Sodim Bicarbonate). In this study, there are some benefits, but the bad may literally outweigh the good.....for runners.

What? Is this a reprint from the 80’s?
