Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda. It's also called an antacid when used to neutralize stomach acid.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin, an inactive ingredient that holds the powder. Sodium bicarbonate works by raising the pH (alkalinity) of your stomach and urine.

This is why it can help with heartburn in small amounts — but also why it can interact with medications that depend on urine pH to be cleared from your body.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Sodium Bicarbonate's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Sodium Bicarbonate for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Athletic performance — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Gingivitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Drug-induced sodium channel blockade — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Sodium bicarbonate is possibly effective for athletic performance and for treating drug-induced sodium channel blockade (a rare heart rhythm condition). The data also shows possibly effective evidence for gingivitis (gum inflammation).

However, the research does not support its use for cardiac arrest or ischemia-reperfusion injury (tissue damage from blood flow being restored after an interruption), where it's rated possibly ineffective. For other uses, the evidence in our data is not established.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Bicarbonate

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium bicarbonate is generally well tolerated in small, occasional amounts — like a single dose as an antacid. However, the safety notes emphasize that it's high in sodium and risky if overused or used long-term.

The most common side effects from oral use are mild gastrointestinal upset: bloating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. These tend to worsen with larger doses.

Serious effects are rare but documented with excessive intake (tablespoons daily or up to one box weekly). These include metabolic alkalosis (a dangerous shift in blood chemistry) with symptoms like dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and in rare cases seizures or coma.

Because little specific safety data exists, use only short-term and talk with your healthcare provider first, especially if you have ongoing heartburn or a condition requiring long-term antacid use.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Sodium Bicarbonate.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 257 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this product before starting if you take corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics (water pills), asthma or breathing medications (beta-agonists), methylxanthines (like theophylline), stimulant laxatives, aspirin, pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), or chlorpropamide (an older diabetes drug). All carry Moderate risk of either low potassium or reduced medication effectiveness.

The biggest risk is with long-term or excessive doses — tablespoon amounts daily or up to one box weekly can cause serious problems.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Baking soda capsules work best for occasional heartburn or as a short-term antacid — not for regular daily use. If you take corticosteroids, diuretics, asthma medications, diabetes drugs, or aspirin, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product, since sodium bicarbonate can affect how those drugs work or raise the risk of low potassium.

The high sodium content and potential for serious effects with overuse mean this isn't a casual supplement — ask your healthcare provider whether it's right for you.

Sodium Bicarbonate14 drug types · 257 drugs

Aminoglycoside Antibiotics

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk for hypokalemia in patients receiving aminoglycosides.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, when administered intravenously, the most common complication of sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Nephrotoxicity caused by aminoglycosides may lead to increased urinary losses of various electrolytes, including potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Amphotericin-B (Abelcet, Others)

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk for hypokalemia in patients receiving amphotericin B.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, when administered intravenously, the most common complication of sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Amphotericin B increases urinary potassium losses due to toxic effects on renal tubular epithelium. Hypokalemia can occur in up to 50% of patients.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may reduce the levels and clinical effects of aspirin.
In humans, oral or intravenous administration of sodium bicarbonate increases salicylate elimination. Although the exact mechanism of this effect is not clear, some researchers hypothesize that sodium bicarbonate increases urinary pH, which increases salicylate ionization and subsequent excretion by the kidneys. In patients with urine pH of about 5.5, renal clearance of salicylate is approximately 55 mL/min. When urine pH is increased with oral sodium bicarbonate to about 7.5, renal clearance of salicylate increases to approximately 100 mL/min. Similarly, urine alkalinization with sodium bicarbonate increases the mean total body clearance of salicylate by approximately 60% compared with urine acidification.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Beta-Adrenergic Agonists

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk for hypokalemia in patients taking beta-adrenergic agonists.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common adverse effect of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Oral, parenteral, or inhaled beta-adrenergic agonists can reduce serum potassium levels, especially during acute use of high doses.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cefpodoxime Proxetil (Vantin)

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate might reduce the levels and clinical effects of cefpodoxime.
Cefpodoxime proxetil is an oral prodrug that is de-esterified in the intestine to the active drug cefpodoxime. Drugs or supplements that increase gastric pH can inhibit the activation of cefpodoxime proxetil and reduce the peak plasma concentrations of cefpodoxime. In humans, taking sodium bicarbonate 12.6 grams orally along with cefpodoxime proxetil 200 mg reduces peak plasma concentrations and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of cefpodoxime by 35% to 50%.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate might reduce the levels and clinical effects of chlorpropamide.
The elimination of chlorpropamide by the kidneys depends strongly on urine pH. At a pH of 5, the renal clearance of chlorpropamide ranges from 0.5 to 3 mL/hr. At a pH of 8, renal clearance of chlorpropamide ranges from 500 to 1000 mL/hr. When taken in combination with oral sodium bicarbonate, the elimination half-life of chlorpropamide is shortened from 49.7 to 12.8 hours and urinary excretion of chlorpropamide is increased four-fold.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cisplatin (Platinol-Aq)

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients receiving cisplatin.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Cisplatin can cause renal tubular damage, with increased losses of electrolytes including potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Corticosteroids

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking corticosteroids.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common intravenous complication of sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) can also cause hypokalemia by causing sodium retention, resulting in compensatory renal potassium excretion. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Loop Diuretics

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking loop diuretics.
Loop diuretics increase urinary potassium excretion. Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Methylxanthines

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking methylxanthines.
Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia. Theophylline and related drugs can reduce serum potassium levels, possibly by increasing intracellular uptake of potassium. Hypokalemia is most likely to occur after acute overdose of these drugs. However, reduced potassium levels can occur with therapeutic doses, and the incidence and degree of hypokalemia increases with increasing serum theophylline levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase levels and adverse effects of pseudoephedrine.
In humans, intravenous or oral administration of sodium bicarbonate can increase urinary pH. Clinical evidence shows that urine alkalinization increases the serum elimination half-life of pseudoephedrine by approximately 10-fold. In one patient with persistently alkaline urine, treatment with pseudoephedrine resulted in hallucinations and personality changes.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related adverse effects.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium bicarbonate, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking stimulant laxatives.
Long-term use of stimulant laxatives, or acute use of high doses (e.g., in bowel-cleansing regimens), can result in potassium loss and hypokalemia. Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of hypokalemia in patients taking thiazide diuretics.
Thiazide diuretics increase urinary potassium excretion. Orally, use of excessive sodium bicarbonate (such as the intake of "tablespoons" of sodium bicarbonate daily or up to one box of baking soda weekly) has been associated with cases of hypokalemia. Furthermore, the most common complication of intravenous sodium bicarbonate is hypokalemia.

Baking Soda by Earthborn Elements: Common Questions

Does Baking Soda by Earthborn Elements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Baking Soda has a known interaction with 257 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Baking Soda contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is baking soda safe during pregnancy?
The safety data rates sodium bicarbonate as possibly unsafe during pregnancy. There isn't enough information to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I take this every day as an antacid?
No — the safety notes say occasional antacid use may be acceptable, but the product is high in sodium and risky if overused or used long-term. Long-term daily use carries real risks, including low potassium and dangerous changes in blood chemistry. Talk with your doctor if you need daily heartburn relief.
What are the most common side effects?
Mild gastrointestinal upset is most common: bloating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. These effects get worse the larger the dose you take. With excessive amounts, rare serious effects like dizziness, headache, seizures, and loss of consciousness can occur.
Does baking soda actually help with sports performance?
Sodium bicarbonate is rated possibly effective for athletic performance in our data, meaning there's some evidence it may help — but it's not proven and the evidence is limited. The gastrointestinal side effects during exercise can be a real drawback.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Sodium bicarbonate raises the alkalinity of your urine. Many medications depend on a certain urine pH to be cleared from your body efficiently. By changing that pH, baking soda can slow down how fast some drugs leave your system or speed up how fast others are eliminated, changing how well they work.
