carbonic acid exposure shifts cellular metabolism from glycolytic to oxidative by increasing oxygen availability
Increasing CO₂ availability and its conversion to bicarbonate can facilitate the transport and utilization of oxygen within cells, with higher intracellular oxygen levels shifting metabolism from glycolytic to more oxidative processes.
What this means for you
Your cells can run on two energy systems — a fast, inefficient one (glycolysis) and a cleaner, more efficient one (oxidative metabolism). When CO₂ availability helps more oxygen reach your cells, the body tends to favor the efficient system. Most people experience this as steadier energy, less fatigue, and better endurance over time.
