I was curious if anyone has tried to make their own version of the Amp Human / Topical Edge lotion?

That's probably hard to do. This is easy to do and dirt cheap. And almost all the performance-related studies of sodium bicarbonate have been done with ingested sodium bicarbonate, and oral ingestion clearly works. As long as your stomach doesn't get upset. Its effects are pretty marginal, though. Including the studies pitched by AMP in their advertising. It might make sense for a 400m runner, or for a cyclist who has to survive multiple attacks. No real benefit for sustained steady-state effort from what I've read.
