Fueling better: Why HICARB is the Perfect Partner for BICARRB

At FLYCARB, we’re best known for our BICARRB product. It uses sodium bicarbonate to help buffer the acidity that builds during high-intensity efforts, helping you push harder for longer and, hopefully, set a new PB.

Fewer people know that we also offer a high-carbohydrate drink mix, HICARB. Today, we’re shining a light on how bicarb and carbohydrates are complementary, and why HICARB is a strong addition to your fueling strategy.

Two ‘carbs’ combined for sustained high performance

When you’re pushing hard, two things are happening in parallel:

1. You’re burning carbohydrate to produce energy
   You’re accumulating acidity as a by-product of that hard effort

The harder you go, the more fuel you burn, and the more acidosis builds.

• Carbohydrates provide the fuel for the effort
• Bicarb helps you sustain it for longer

In essence, you need the carbohydrate fuel to go fast, and the bicarb buffering to stay there.

Where HICARB fits in

HICARB is designed to deliver 50g of carbohydrate per serving, using a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio. Tt's a tried-and-tested formulation that increases total carbohydrate absorption per hour.

We've built HICARB to be refreshing, convenient, and easy to drink. The feedback has been consistent. Customers say we should make more of it! And they say it tastes good, yes we made something that tastes good!
