Beetroot shots to baking powder: the science behind sport’s most popular supplements

Summary

71% Informative

Keely Hodgkinson won Great Britain’s only Olympic gold medal on the track in August .

The 800 m star uses sodium bicarbonate AKA baking powder to power up her training and races.

Other legal supplements include Beetroot shots, prebiotics and prebiotic foods.

You can buy a joint probiotic and prebiotic supplement for around 20 for 60 capsules ( around 33p a day) Creatine is stored in the muscle as phosphocreatine and plays a key role in generating energy for all-out, maximal efforts.

The most common side-effect is weight gain, which occurs because creatine causes water retention in the muscles.

Maurten ’s product starts from around 60 for four servings, so 15 a go. So, not cheap. Try it first in training, not racing, as you don’t want any gastro surprises.

I’ve briefly played around with sodium bicarbonate in both pill and Maurten form but have been unable to draw any conclusions.
