Sodium+Loading

==Sodium Bicarbonate (also known as Baking soda) is a chemical salt that is found and made in Laboratory’s by soda ash, mined in the form of the ore trona, is dissolved in water and treated with carbon dioxide. , Green River WY. Is Americas number one supplier, supplying most of all the country as well as ¼ of the world with baking soda. Not all baking soda is made in Lab it also could be found as a natural compound referred as nahcolite, nahcolite is mined of the ground and found naturally this mineral was found way before laboratory’s where created is was used by the Egyptians to clean. Baking soda in the form of nahcolite is still available till this day and it safer than regular baking soda it’s not altered or messed with. Sodium Bicoarbanate is ingested in the form of a liquid it is a salt powder that is measured in teaspoons and then mixed in a cup of cold water. Athletes who tend to use Baking Soda for performance also known as Sodium Bicarbonate loading or sodium doping ingest the chemical in a capsule form. Baking Soda doesn't usually have a heavy cost and it is very easy to access. Baking soda in a powder form is usually about $2.00 for 1lb as a capsule it used costs a bit more about $9-$26 usually carrying 10 grains per tablet. Baking soda can be found and purchased in any store such as health stores, grocery stores, online or health vendors. Sodium Bicarbonate is not banned by the NCAA or IOC or any other major athletic organization.==

===Has the chemical formula HCO3. Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical role in the physiological pH buffering system. The bicarbonate ion (hydrogencarbonate ion) is an anion with the formula HCO3; it consists of one central carbon atom surrounded by three oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement, with a hydrogen atom attached to one of the oxygens. It is isoelectronic with nitric acid HNO3 .A bicarbonate salt forms when a positively charged ion attaches to the negatively charged oxygen atoms of the ion, forming an ionic compound. Many bicarbonates are soluble in water at standard temperature and pressure, in particular sodium bicarbonate contributes to total dissolved solids, a common parameter for assessing water quality===

===Bicarbonate (HCO3−) is alkaline, and a vital component of the pH buffering system of the human body (maintaining acid base homeostasis). In conjunction with water, hydrogen ions, and carbon dioxide forms this buffering system, which is maintained at equilibrium required to provide prompt resistance to drastic pH changes in both the acidic and basic directions. This is especially important for protecting tissues of the central nervous system, where pH changes too far outside of the normal range===

===Bicarbonate also acts to regulate pH in the small intestine. It is released from the pancreas in response to the hormone secretin to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach. Bicarbonate also serves much in the digestive system. It raises the internal pH of the stomach, after highly acidic digestive juices have finished in their digestion of food. Ammonium bicarbonate is used in digestive manufacturing. Excreted mainly through bodily fluids as it is water soluble most notable in urine and sweat.===
