Timing matters: Always consume on an empty stomach for best absorption.

Don’t use hot water: Room temperature or warm water works best. Hot water can reduce effectiveness.

Start with ½ tsp: Never exceed 1 teaspoon daily due to high sodium content (629mg per ½ tsp).

Watch for fizzing: Adding lemon creates a natural fizzy reaction – this is normal and safe.

Cycle usage: Use for 2-3 weeks maximum, then take 1-2 week break to prevent sodium overload.

Best timing: Take first thing in morning, or 30 minutes before dinner for digestive support.

Pair with hydration: Drink extra water throughout the day to balance sodium intake.

Quality matters: Use aluminum-free baking soda like Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda.

Not for everyone: Avoid if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or heart conditions.

Support habits: Combine with gelatin trick for weight loss, pink salt water, or ginger trick for enhanced wellness.
