Bicarbonate supplementation is by no means a new thing. But there is a new supplement on the block from one of the big sports nutrition companies.

Why would we want to use it to enhance exercise performance?
What sort of sporting situations would it be useful for?
Is it worth trialling as an age-group triathlete?

Tune in to find out!
