Q: What are the benefits of taking Pure Bicarbonate of Soda?
A: Pure Bicarbonate of Soda is commonly used to support acid balance, digestion, exercise performance, hydration, and recovery. Many people use it to help temporarily relieve acid discomfort, buffer lactic acid during intense training, support endurance, and assist electrolyte balance. Within biohacking and wellness communities it is also popular as part of detox, fasting, and hydration routines.

Q: What are the benefits and how to use Bicarbonate of Soda with Lemon?
A: This mix gives acid neutralisation, helps exercise and performance, then gives hydration and electrolytes. Lemon juice is acidic before digestion but contains citric acid and potassium. Some people report improved digestive signalling, bile flow, or stomach comfort from lemon water before meals.

Some people use the mixture as part of throat gargles or mucus clearing routines because bicarbonate changes pH temporarily. There is research into Sodium Bicarbonate affecting acid balance in the body, particularly around kidney health and acid load. Biohackers sometimes use it around intense training, fasting, or ketogenic diets to buffer temporary increases in acidity.

The common mix is:
• Juice of half an organic lemon
• Around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
• Mixed into pure water

It will fizz heavily because the acid and alkaline react together producing carbon dioxide gas. Start lower if you experience gas.

Q: I've heard you mention before about using Bicarbonate of Soda and Maple Syrup together and a powerful Immunity & Recovery Protocol, can you explain?
A: Although I can't go in depth online here, I can explain what to do. Maple Syrup is known to contain over 20 antioxidant compounds, that are seriously powerful in such a situation.

The sugar of the Maple Syrup is the trap, the powerful compounds and Bicarbonate of Soda are the active agents to do the job. Basically the maple syrup apparently enables and increases penetration of bicarbonate into all compartments of body.

The actual formula is to mix one part Bicarbonate of Soda with 3 parts (pure, 100%) Maple Syrup in a small saucepan. Stir on heat for 5 minutes. Take 1 teaspoon up to 6 times daily.

To find out more on this look up the work of Dr. Tullio Simoncini, and Jim Kelmun.

Q: Can you explain about using Bicarbonate of Soda as a deodorant?
A: Sure! I use the following recipe and this really does it for me. You have to mix 1 part baking soda with 6 parts of corn starch that can act as an antiperspirant to keep you dry. For more sensitive and dry skin, mix 1 part baking soda with 2 parts coconut butter or shea butter.

Q: Somebody at my work told me that baking soda is good for cleaning. Can you give some cleaning tips?
A: Excellent question! Yes, it is a very good cleaning tool. I don’t know where to start as there are so many uses. Use it to clean your dishwasher cleaner by sprinkling baking soda in your dishwasher’s bottom and run as usual to help freshen and remove stains. Veggie and fruit wash, mix water, lemon juice and baking soda for wiping fruits and veggies to remove wax. You can use it as a silverware polisher. Make a paste with 3 parts baking soda, 1 part water. Rub paste onto silverware with a clean cloth. Rinse and dry. It is a good insect repellent too. Keep cockroaches and ants at bay by sprinkling a line of baking soda along basement windows and doorways.

Q: How you use this stuff against bad breath?
A: Mix 1 teaspoon baking soda in ½ glass of water. Gargle, swish, spit and rinse.

Q: Is sodium bicarbonate bad for nature?
A: No data shows bicarbonate soda to have negative effects on the environment.

Q: What is Bicarbonate of Soda? Where does it come from?
A: Bicarbonate of Soda is a naturally occurring mineral found in evaporated lake beds. Its history of use dates back at least as far as the ancient Egyptians who would use it for mummification, medicinal purposes, personal hygiene, and household tasks. In its natural form, it is called nahcolite.

Q:  What are the Medical Uses of Bicarbonate of Soda?
A: It is an antacid used to relieve heartburn and acid indigestion. Your doctor also may prescribe Bicarbonate of Soda to make your blood or urine less acidic in certain conditions. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. 

Q: What about Oral Health?
A: Bicarbonate of Soda is alkaline, so it can help regulate your mouth's PH by neutralising the acidity. As such, it not only prevents tooth decay but also helps remineralise your enamel. Our Bicarbonate of Soda can also limit plaque buildup by neutralising plaque acids.

Q: What are the Household Uses of Bicarbonate of Soda?
A: The following kitchen appliances, items, and surfaces can be cleaned with Bicarbonate of Soda: ovens, stained coffee cups, stained marble, grease stains, kitchen tiles, clogged drains, tarnished silver and microwaves.

After using a facial cleanser, mix no more than 2 teaspoons of Bicarbonate of Soda in a small amount of warm water until it forms a paste. This can be applied with your fingertips and massaged into your skin.

Q: I heard you can make Foot Soak, how?
A: Add Bicarbonate of Soda to a foot soak can help exfoliate the skin, ease itching, and cleanse the feet. Try adding 3–4 tablespoons of it to a basin full of warm water. Use 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar for a foot soak. The vinegar helps kill bacteria and also reduces foot odour.

Grass Fed Tallow closely resembles the natural oils in human skin, helping to deeply nourish, repair, and strengthen the skin barrier. Fulvic Acid supports mineral delivery and skin balance, helping to promote clearer and more resilient skin when used in diluted form.

How to Use

Use as needed rather than a strict daily routine, depending on skin condition and sensitivity.

Hacks
