I have tried all the bicarbonate/phosphate/citrate loading, and I recommend against it. Stomach upset, nausea & diarrhea are constant problems. Herbert tried it, and he may have even used it on his 181m dynamic record (remember he complained of diarrhea!)
You can get them for cheap from food grade chemical suppliers (which is what I did), and you can use combinations of say 3:1 sodium phosphate to potassium phosphate etc., to keep your electrolytes relatively balanced, but in the end, the result has never been very good. It seems to throw the body off.
The best way to improve your anaerobic/acid threshold is simply to train anaerobically!
