Buffering agents for high-intensity exercise
Are buffering agents the magic supplement for performance in high-intensity exercise? Buffering agents, or buffers, are popular among athletes. But just because a category of supplement is popular, does not necessarily mean that it ‘works’.
'Buffering agents for high-intensity exercise' breaks down the science around buffers. Our expert speakers include Drs Eimear Dolan and Amelia Carr, alongside Professors Bryan Saunders and Wim Derave. Throughout the course, the speakers explore the buffers sodium bicarbonate, beta-alanine, and carnosine in the context of high-intensity exercise. From the mechanisms to different sport applications, this course will equip you with the science to approach buffering agent supplementation in practise.
