Mnstry announces a new Bicarb and carbohydrate gel
German brand Mnstry Nutrition has released what it claims is the first gel-based supplement combining bicarbonate with carbohydrates for in-race use. The new Bicarb Gel 40 Lemon 1:0.8 is designed to allow athletes to maintain elevated bicarbonate levels during prolonged or high-intensity efforts, something it says was previously limited to pre-race loading strategies. The company says the gel uses encapsulation technology to deliver bicarbonate directly to the small intestine, aiming to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort typically associated with sodium bicarbonate use.
Along with five grams of bicarbonate, each gel contains 40 grams of carbohydrate in a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, intended to support sustained energy delivery. The product has been developed with input from professional athletes and is batch-tested by Informed Sport. It is free from artificial sweeteners and animal products.
