Amp Human Logo PR Lotion

Frequently asked questions

How does a bicarbonate lotion work?

Amp Human's PR Lotion delivers sodium bicarbonate through the skin (its 'InnerEdge' technology); the brand says it buffers the acid build-up that limits hard efforts. Applied around 30 minutes before exercise, with effects lasting several hours.

Why use a lotion instead of drinking bicarbonate?

Sodium bicarbonate taken orally is well known for causing stomach upset. Delivering it through the skin is intended to avoid the GI issues while still buffering muscle acidity. We report the brand's rationale, not a guarantee of results.

How do I apply it?

It's rubbed onto the skin before training or competition; follow the label for the amount and timing. The 300 g bottle covers many applications.

Is it certified for banned substances?

Yes — Informed Sport, with each batch screened against the WADA banned list. Sodium bicarbonate isn't itself a banned substance, but the certification assures the product is free of contaminants for tested athletes.

Where can I buy it in the UK?

We track one UK-facing listing: Amazon UK at £31.33, with 1,500 reviews averaging 4.3/5.
