Acclivum2.0 – Digestion Support
Sports performance places rapid and intense demands on the body. As muscles contract, energy production accelerates, and acid (especially hydrogen ions from anaerobic metabolism) rises.
- Muscle fatigue
- Heavy legs
- Burning sensations
- Loss of power and endurance
The body uses its natural bicarbonate buffering system to stabilize pH — but during high-intensity activity, demand often exceeds supply.
Acclivum2.0 is designed to support the body precisely at these moments, offering a cleaner and more tolerable way to maintain internal balance during and after exercise.
Stabilizing acid–base balance during intense effort
Acclivum2.0 contains enteric-coated bicarbonate, formulated to bypass the stomach and release bicarbonate in the small intestine. This allows athletes to benefit from bicarbonate loading without the bloating, gas, or discomfort often caused by regular sodium bicarbonate.
Once absorbed, bicarbonate helps buffer rising acidity, which supports muscles to:
- Maintain force and power longer
- Delay fatigue and muscle burn
- Recover faster between high-intensity bouts
This is supported by human data showing that enteric-coated NaHCO₃ improves systemic absorption and significantly reduces GI distress compared to standard bicarbonate formulations (Jiang et al., 2024).
Dozens of controlled trials and meta-analyses confirm that sodium bicarbonate supplementation:
- Delays the onset of exhaustion
- Improves repeated-sprint performance
- Enhances high-intensity work output
- Supports performance in sports lasting 30 seconds to ~10 minutes
The International Society of Sports Nutrition identifies bicarbonate as one of the most effective legal ergogenic aids for buffering-limited exercise.
When exercise ends, the body enters a phase of repair:
- Muscle fibers rebuild
- Acidic metabolites are cleared
- Inflammation rises temporarily
- Energy systems reset
A slightly acidic internal environment can slow recovery and contribute to post-training soreness.
How Acclivum2.0 supports recovery
By helping restore bicarbonate levels after exercise, Acclivum2.0® supports:
- Faster normalization of acid–base balance
- Reduced muscle soreness
- Less next-day stiffness
- Improved readiness for the next session
A 2019 study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that bicarbonate supplementation after exercise enhanced acid–base balance recovery and improved subsequent high-intensity performance (Gough et al., 2019).
A balanced internal pH promotes:
- More efficient blood flow
- Improved oxygen delivery
- Better nutrient uptake into muscle cells
- Faster clearance of metabolites
Together, these conditions support faster tissue repair and readiness for repeated training.
Traditional sodium bicarbonate is effective but poorly tolerated due to:
- Gas and bloating
- Stomach upset
- Unpredictable absorption
Acclivum2.0 solves these issues through enteric technology that:
- Prevents gastric reaction
- Preserves natural stomach acidity
- Enables targeted intestinal release
- Improves tolerance and consistency
It’s a cleaner, smarter, athlete-friendly approach to buffering support.
In summary
During sport:
Acclivum2.0 helps your body maintain performance under pressure.
After sport:
It supports faster recovery and readiness for the next session.
Athlete benefits:
✔ Less acidity buildup
✔ Longer endurance
✔ Reduced post-training soreness
✔ Faster muscle regeneration
✔ Better tolerance than regular bicarbonate
Acclivum2.0 supports athletes not just on race day — but for balanced, consistent performance every day.
