Isobuffer Sport Drink (700g) - Orange

Acidification is an important cause of muscle fatigue during short, high-intensity exercise, even when these brief bursts occur during a (prolonged) endurance event such as a bicycle race or a football match. Success in these sports will largely depend on the extent to which acidification can be delayed. Just think of the "attacks" or final sprint in bicycle races, or the many short and long (consecutive) sprints that football or hockey players perform during a match. Again, acidification is often the "troublemaker" that forces the muscles to slow down. However, our body has a (limited) reserve of "buffers", called "buffering capacity", which can delay (partially) acidification during these high intensity efforts. The amount of bicarbonate in the blood plays an important role in this buffering capacity. Unfortunately, the reserves of bicarbonate are limited and decrease further when these maximum efforts of short duration follow one another (too) quickly. By "stacking" these bicarbonate stores before and during exercise, the body can further delay that critical moment of acid overload during those watershed moments. This becomes even more important when ketone esters are also used during exercise, which are known to increase acidity in the blood!

The "6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK" is an isotonic sports drink (327 mmol/kg), which contains 30 g of carbohydrates in a glucose/fructose ratio of 2:1. This ensures rapid absorption of carbohydrates and fluids during exercise. The 6D ISOBUFFER sports drink differs from "ordinary" isotonic sports drinks such as the 6D ISOTONIC sports drink, thanks to its "buffering" electrolytes. One sports bottle (500ml) 6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK contains 4,6g sodium bicarbonate (+potassium) (= buffer). To date, 6D ISOBUFFER sports drink is the only isotonic sports drink capable of increasing and maintaining buffering capacity before and during intensive (prolonged) endurance exercise.

Since sodium bicarbonate is the main source of bicarbonate in this sports drink, it results in a very high sodium content (1000 mg per 500 ml). The amount of sodium in this drink is comparable to the amount of sodium in a double dose of 6D HYDRO/ORS. As a result, 6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK quickly replenishes salts lost through perspiration during competitions in hot weather. Due to its high salt content, consumption during exercise should be limited to 500 ml per hour to avoid gastrointestinal disorders. Finally, it is also important to test this drink thoroughly under competition conditions.

In summary, the 6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK sports drink is the ideal sports drink during competitions where short (consecutive) high intensity efforts are decisive, especially when the competition is often decided by a final sprint. This sports drink can also be used to (re)load the buffer capacity in preparation and during the recovery period after short-term maximal effort (0,5-5 min), and if necessary also in combination with 6D SODIUM BICARBONATE. The 500ml buffer capacity of 6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK corresponds to 4 capsules of 6D SODIUM BICARBONATE.

How to use : 

Mix 35 g (= 2 measures) of powder with 500 ml of water. Drink 500ml per hour during exercise. Do not exceed this dose. Ingestion of a high dose of sodium bicarbonate may cause acute gastrointestinal disturbances.

In order to take advantage of the buffering effect of the 6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK, a dose of 0,3-0,4 g sodium bicarbonate per kg body weight is required over a period of approximately 8 hours before and during competition. herself. For a 70 kg person, this corresponds to 21-28 g of sodium bicarbonate. This dose can be reached by using the 6D ISOBUFFER sports drink (before and during the competition), and if desired in combination with the 6D SODIUM BICARBONATE capsules (only before the competition). 500ml of 6D ISOBUFFER SPORTS DRINK contains 4,6g of sodium bicarbonate (+potassium) per 500ml, while one capsule of SODIUM BICARBONATE contains 1,125g of sodium bicarbonate.
