10,000+ PB's Smashed With ZoneX:
Here's What's Inside Every Sachet
Sodium Bicarbonate + Sodium Citrate
In a clinically proven dose.
These act like a sponge for lactic acid, soaking it up before it reaches your muscles. Not a token amount—this is the exact clinical dose studied to alter blood pH, buffer hydrogen ions, and eliminate the metabolic burn during all-out efforts.
Glucose
• 10,000mg •Rapid-acting fuel that bypasses complex digestion to restore muscle glycogen instantly, providing the immediate ATP needed for strong finishes.
Citric Acid
• 1,000mg •Crucial for turning nutrients into pure usable energy, as well as preventing the stomach distress commonly associated with bicarb.
Natural Lime
• Trace Amount •Used in trace amounts to give ZoneX its zingy lime punch taste. No artificial dyes, no added calories — just a clean, punchy flavour that goes down easy.

FAQ's:
What is ZoneX?
ZoneX is a pre-run drink mix formulated with a high-performance blend of two types of lactic acid buffers - sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate. These ingredients act like a sponge for the lactic acid buildup that otherwise causes your legs to burn and slow down, allowing you to hold pace longer and push harder.
Our unique blend comes without the gut issues or bad taste of traditional bicarb products.
What events is ZoneX suitable for?
ZoneX is ideal for high-intensity efforts where fatigue builds quickly — like 5Ks, 10Ks, track sessions, hill reps, tempo runs, and threshold workouts. It’s especially effective in events lasting 3 to 30 minutes, where lactic acid accumulation is a major limiter.
For longer events (half marathon or above), it can still help during fast starts, surges, or negative splits — but it shines brightest when you're redlining.
How does sodium bicarbonate help with performance?
Bicarb helps to slow the accumulation of hydrogen ions (acid) in your muscles, delaying fatigue and allowing you to perform at higher intensities for longer.
Bicarb has been clinically proven for decades to improve endurance at threshold-level intensities.
Will it really improve my running times?
Recent peer-reviewed studies have shown bicarb supplementation can increase performance by up to 17% in real-world race efforts. That could mean seconds or even minutes off your PB, depending on distance.
Does ZoneX contain any banned substances?
No. ZoneX is free from ingredients on the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) prohibited list.
Will it upset my stomach?
Unlike traditional bicarb gels or capsules, ZoneX uses a revolutionary blend of compounds that are designed to make it easy on the stomach. 97% of users experience no GI issues when taken as directed.
How do I use ZoneX?
Mix one sachet with 250–300ml of water and sip slowly over 10–15 minutes. Drink it around 60–90 minutes before your workout or race for optimal results.
Why do other bicarb products cause gut issues?
High doses of straight sodium bicarbonate can increase stomach acidity and cause gas, nausea, or diarrhoea. ZoneX is formulated to reduce that risk using balancing agents and a smoother delivery format.
What does 'buffer' mean?
Buffering means neutralising the acid that builds up in your muscles during hard efforts — helping you delay fatigue and push longer before hitting the wall.
Can I prepare ZoneX the day before a race/training?
Yes - you can mix a sachet of ZoneX into a drink bottle anytime up to 24 hours before consuming it. This makes it super simple and easy to prepare the night before, leaving one less thing to think about on race day!
