    • The Simple Science of Sodium Bicarbonate

    How it works

    When you train hard, acidity rises in the muscle due to the release of hydrogen (H+) ions which can cause fatigue and lead to the so-called “burn”. Although many believe lactate causes this fatigue, it is actually the rise in muscle acidity from hydrogen ions that comprises muscle function leading to exhaustion and that last rep muscle failure. This is where sodium bicarbonate comes in, acting as a buffer, neutralizing the excess H+ ions and combating excess acidity so you can perform harder, longer.

    Why Sodium Bicarbonate?

    Why Sodium Bicarbonate? Sodium bicarbonate is a simple, naturally occurring electrolyte that your body uses to regulate pH (acid/alkaline balance). While most people know it as baking soda, sodium bicarbonate has been widely used and researched as a performance aid since the 1930’s.

    Proven Results

    With over 50 years of research to support its performance benefits, sodium bicarbonate is one of 5 ergogenic aids that is recommended as effective and safe for athletes by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). We go the extra mile to ensure PR Lotion is both Informed Choice & Sport certified.

    So Why Not Just Drink Baking Soda?

    You could. But you will likely be sick to your stomach after choking down a glass of baking soda, canceling out any performance benefits. The problem with sodium bicarbonate is that when consumed orally it can cause major GI distress which can offset the performance benefits gained from reducing muscle acidity.

    Don't Just Take Our Word For It

    Kelly Starrett

    WORLD LEADING MOBILITY EXPERT

    “We are a little obsessed with how easy it is to layer PR lotion into some of our tough weekly efforts. We used to have to drink it and it wasn’t great. Now we just rub PR Lotion into larger muscle groups prior to big efforts to enhance performance and decrease DOMS after intense training. It’s called PR lotion for a reason. Go faster and be less sore? You can see why we like it.”

    Your New Secret Weapon…

    For Competition Day
    PR Lotion can give you a serious leg up on the competition by boosting your power, weight lifted, and ability to perform at a high intensity before fatiguing. Use it to power up your performance or to recover faster after competing.

    For Training Days
    By helping you to push harder on your intense training days and by reducing post-workout soreness, PR Lotion can help you stack great training days together and make progress quicker.

    Easy as Squeeze, Lather, and Perform

    PR Lotion works because proprietary technology drives bicarbonate into the body to neutralize acid. Other sport lotions focus on relieving pain by using either menthol (cooling) or camphor (warming) which trick the pain receptors into focusing on that sensation instead of pain. With PR Lotion there won’t be a heating/cooling feeling experienced.  Use 1 packet on each leg. If using a bottle, that is 20g per leg. Generously apply it to the muscles that are doing the most work. Apply PR Lotion 20 minutes before your training or event begins and you will feel like your legs aren’t as heavy and tired that day and you will be less sore the next day. Try it yourself, and see what you can achieve.
