While researching questionable erectile dysfunction advertisements, I started noticing repeated references to something called the “baking soda trick for men.”

Some versions claim that drinking baking soda mixed with water can improve blood flow, strengthen erections, increase stamina, or help a man stay hard longer.

Other versions add honey, salt, lemon, or apple cider vinegar to the supposed recipe.

Then there is a commercial website using the exact-match domain bakingsoda-trick.com.

It presents what appears to be an “official” Baking Soda Trick supplement, complete with bottles, customer testimonials, scientific claims, countdown timers, and package pricing.

But when I investigated more closely, two major problems immediately stood out:

1. The listed formula does not appear to contain baking soda.
2. Clicking the Order Now button took me away from the site and redirected me to an entirely different male-enhancement product called EndoPeak.

In this article, I’ll explain what the baking soda trick supposedly is, whether there is any evidence that it helps erectile dysfunction, the potential risks of drinking baking soda, and how marketers appear to be using the trend to promote unrelated supplements.

Quick Answer: Does the Baking Soda Trick Really Work?

There is no credible clinical evidence that drinking baking soda treats erectile dysfunction, produces stronger erections, increases penis size, raises testosterone, or helps men stay hard.

The most common version involves dissolving baking soda—sodium bicarbonate—in water and drinking it.

Supporters claim that this “alkalizes” the body, boosts nitric oxide, or improves circulation.

However, erections depend on a complex interaction involving blood vessels, nerves, hormones, psychological signals, and sexual stimulation.

Drinking an alkaline household ingredient does not correct the many possible underlying causes of ED.

The commercial Baking Soda Trick website raises separate concerns.

It advertises a supplement under that name but does not list sodium bicarbonate among its ingredients.

Its Order Now link routes through a ClickBank affiliate redirect rather than directly to a checkout for a clearly identified Baking Soda Trick product.

During my test, the final offer was EndoPeak.

My verdict: The home remedy is unsupported, while the commercial “official” website appears to be using the baking soda trend as a marketing hook for unrelated male-enhancement supplements.

What Is the Baking Soda Trick for Men?

The phrase does not refer to one standardized or medically recognized treatment.

The most frequently described version involves mixing baking soda into a glass of water and drinking it before sexual activity or on an empty stomach.

Some websites describe amounts ranging from approximately one-half to one teaspoon per glass, although there is no agreed-upon recipe and no evidence-based ED protocol involving sodium bicarbonate.

The theory usually follows one of three arguments:

• Baking soda supposedly makes the body more alkaline.
• It allegedly increases nitric oxide production.
• It supposedly improves blood flow to the penis.

These claims take real scientific concepts and connect them in ways that have not been demonstrated.

Nitric oxide is an important chemical mediator of penile erection and helps activate the pathway that relaxes smooth muscle and increases penile blood flow.²

That does not mean every household ingredient associated with pH, circulation, or exercise performance treats erectile dysfunction.

Sodium bicarbonate has been studied as an athletic buffering supplement, with the strongest evidence involving certain high-intensity exercise activities lasting from approximately 30 seconds to 12 minutes.⁴

Those uses do not establish that it improves sexual performance or erectile function.

Does Baking Soda Help You Get or Maintain an Erection?

There is no good evidence that it does.

Erectile dysfunction is a complex condition that can involve vascular, neurological, hormonal, medication-related, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

ED may also be an early sign of another health problem.¹

Drinking baking soda does not diagnose or directly treat any of those causes.

It does not:

• Remove arterial plaque
• Reverse diabetes
• Repair damaged nerves
• Correct low testosterone
• Treat medication-related ED
• Resolve performance anxiety
• Replicate prescription PDE5 inhibitors
• Guarantee increased penile blood flow

Searches such as “baking soda trick to stay hard” and “baking soda trick for erection” suggest that people are looking for an immediate physical effect.

But feeling temporary digestive changes—or believing that the body has become “alkaline”—is not evidence of improved erectile function.

The body tightly regulates acid-base balance through buffering systems and the coordinated actions of the lungs and kidneys.³

Attempting to meaningfully alter that balance by consuming large quantities of baking soda can cause illness rather than a better erection.

What Is the Honey and Baking Soda Trick?

The honey and baking soda trick for men appears to be another variation of the same internet rumor.

There does not seem to be one consistent recipe.

Some posts describe mixing honey and baking soda with water, while others combine them with lemon, salt, coffee, or apple cider vinegar.

The claimed benefits range from improved erections and stamina to higher testosterone and increased penis size.

Honey contains carbohydrates and can provide calories, but combining it with sodium bicarbonate does not create an established ED treatment.

The addition of honey may make the drink taste more tolerable, but it does not solve the central problem: there is no clinical evidence showing that a honey and baking soda mixture reliably improves erections.

Anyone searching for a baking soda trick recipe should also understand that there is no medically accepted recipe to follow.

The phrase is being used broadly across social media, video advertisements, affiliate pages, and search-engine content without a standardized formula or clinical dosing instructions.

The “Official” Baking Soda Trick Website

During my research, I found a website operating at: www.bakingsoda-trick.com

The site appears designed to capture people searching for the viral baking soda remedy.

Its headline claims that a “natural Baking Soda Trick” can boost male vitality by 342%.

It promotes harder erections, better circulation, increased testosterone, improved libido, more stamina, reduced performance anxiety, and general male wellness.

It also displays product bottles, three package options, customer testimonials, a countdown timer, and repeated Order Now buttons.

At first glance, someone could reasonably assume this is the official seller of a supplement literally formulated around baking soda.

That does not appear to be what is happening.

The Formula Does Not Appear to Contain Baking Soda

The site lists the following ingredients:

• L-arginine
• Horny goat weed
• Tribulus terrestris
• Maca root
• Ginkgo biloba
• Panax ginseng
• Saw palmetto
• Muira puama
• Catuaba bark
• Zinc
• B vitamins
• Magnesium

The displayed ingredient section does not include baking soda or sodium bicarbonate.

That creates an obvious question:

Why is this being called the Baking Soda Trick if the promoted formula apparently does not contain baking soda?

The most plausible explanation is that the site is using the popular search phrase and exact-match domain to attract visitors interested in the viral remedy.

Once those visitors arrive, the page attempts to move them toward a conventional herbal male-enhancement supplement.

In other words, “Baking Soda Trick” appears to be the marketing hook rather than the actual formula.

The Order Button Leads to a Different Product

The situation becomes even more questionable when you try to order.

When I clicked the Order Now button, I was taken away from bakingsoda-trick.com and sent to a separate sales page for a product called EndoPeak.

The order link currently routes through a ClickBank tracking URL rather than to a checkout page clearly selling the supplement described on the Baking Soda Trick site.

The EndoPeak destination promotes its own formula, claims, pricing, and male-performance benefits.

[Insert screenshot of the Baking Soda Trick page immediately before clicking, followed by the EndoPeak destination]

Suggested caption: Clicking Order Now did not lead to a Baking Soda Trick checkout.

It redirected through an affiliate tracking link to EndoPeak.

This looks much more like an affiliate bridge page than an official product website.

The sequence appears to be:

1. Attract visitors searching for the baking soda trick.
2. Present a made-up or loosely defined “Baking Soda Trick” supplement.
3. Build interest using ED claims and urgency.
4. Send the visitor through an affiliate link.
5. Sell whichever downstream product is attached to that link.

I cannot prove that the operator will rotate the offer in the future.

However, the structure allows the owner to replace the affiliate destination without changing the Baking Soda Trick article, domain, or marketing claims.

Today the link may lead to EndoPeak.

It could theoretically be changed later to Boostaro, Performer 8, or another offer.

That possibility is reinforced by the website’s footer, which links to a very large network of unrelated supplement and health-product domains.

The list includes male-enhancement products, weight-loss products, brain supplements, blood-sugar products, nerve products, vision supplements, and numerous other offers.

Why This Looks Like a Bait-and-Switch Funnel

The phrase bait and switch is often used casually, but here the basic concern is straightforward.

The bait is:

• A high-interest exact-match domain
• A viral household “trick”
• Claims involving baking soda
• A supposedly unique Baking Soda Trick supplement
• Product bottles and pricing that imply you can buy that exact product

The switch occurs when the Order Now button sends the visitor to a different branded product.

Even if EndoPeak contains some ingredients similar to those described on the Baking Soda Trick page, that does not make the presentation transparent.

Visitors should know what product they are purchasing before clicking an order button.

The site repeatedly says consumers should purchase only from its “official website” to receive the authentic Baking Soda Trick formula.

But the ordering process does not appear to deliver a product carrying that identity.

That is one of the clearest red flags in the entire investigation.

Other Red Flags on the Baking Soda Trick Site

The unexplained 342% claim

The headline says the trick boosts male vitality by 342%.

The site does not clearly define “male vitality,” explain how it was measured, identify the study population, or provide a clinical trial showing a 342% improvement.

Precise percentages can make advertising sound scientific even when there is no transparent methodology behind them.

It presents individual-ingredient studies as proof of the complete product

The site discusses research involving L-arginine, horny goat weed, Tribulus, maca, and ginseng.

It then claims that combining the ingredients creates superior synergistic effects.

Research on an individual ingredient does not automatically prove that:

• The website’s finished formula contains an effective dose
• The listed ingredients are actually present
• The combination is safe
• The combination outperforms placebo
• The product treats erectile dysfunction
• The product is the same one delivered after clicking Order Now

No published trial of the exact advertised Baking Soda Trick product is provided.

“FDA approved” versus the FDA disclaimer

A prominent section on the page says:

FDA APPROVED

The supporting text then refers to the product being produced in an FDA-registered facility. Those are not the same thing.

Facility registration does not mean the FDA approved a dietary supplement as safe or effective.

The contradiction becomes clearer in the footer, which states that the claims have not been evaluated by the FDA and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

So the page creates an FDA-approval impression near the top while disclaiming FDA evaluation at the bottom.

Unverified testimonials

The page presents several five-star customer stories with first names, last initials, and U.S. cities.

It does not show where the reviews were collected or provide a way to independently confirm them.

I cannot prove the testimonials are fabricated.

I also cannot find enough information on the page to verify them.

Is the Baking Soda Trick a Scam?

There are two different things to evaluate.

The home remedy

The drink itself is better described as an unsupported internet remedy than a product scam.

People may genuinely believe baking soda improves erections because they misunderstand pH, nitric oxide, blood flow, or exercise research. However, there is no credible evidence that drinking it treats ED.

The commercial website

The website is considerably more problematic.

It:

• Uses “Baking Soda Trick” in its domain and product branding
• Does not list baking soda in the formula
• Makes broad ED and testosterone claims
• Displays an unsupported 342% statistic
• Creates an FDA-approved impression
• Uses a countdown timer
• Tells customers to buy only from the “official” website
• Redirects the Order Now button to a different product

Based on those facts, I would describe the site as a deceptive affiliate marketing funnel rather than a trustworthy official product page.

Is Drinking Baking Soda Dangerous?

Small amounts of baking soda used in food are generally not the same concern as repeatedly drinking concentrated mixtures as a supposed ED treatment.

The risk increases with larger amounts, frequent use, kidney problems, heart or blood-pressure conditions, dehydration, or use alongside certain medications.

Potential problems include:

• Excessive sodium intake
• Nausea, vomiting, bloating, or diarrhea
• Electrolyte disturbances
• Low potassium
• High sodium levels
• Fluid retention
• Worsening blood-pressure problems
• Metabolic alkalosis
• Abnormal heart rhythms in severe cases

Published case reports have documented severe metabolic alkalosis, low potassium, high sodium levels, neurological symptoms, abnormal heart rhythms, seizures, and cardiopulmonary complications after excessive baking-soda ingestion.⁶

Because baking soda delivers a substantial sodium load, misuse may also contribute to fluid retention, elevated blood pressure, electrolyte abnormalities, and cardiovascular complications.⁷

A published case report and literature review concluded that baking-soda misuse as an alternative remedy can cause metabolic alkalosis and clinically significant electrolyte disturbances.⁸

That does not mean a small accidental amount will send a healthy person to the hospital.

It does mean that “it’s just baking soda” is not a sufficient safety argument for drinking it regularly.

People with kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, or sodium-restricted diets should be particularly cautious about experimenting with sodium bicarbonate without medical guidance.

What Actually Helps Erectile Dysfunction?

The appropriate treatment depends on why the ED is occurring.

Recognized options can include:

• Addressing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hormonal issues, or medication side effects
• Improving diet and physical activity
• Quitting smoking
• Reducing excessive alcohol consumption
• Counseling or treatment for anxiety and depression
• Prescription PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil or tadalafil
• Vacuum erection devices
• Injectable or urethral medications
• Surgery in selected cases

Contemporary ED treatment approaches include addressing relevant underlying conditions, lifestyle and psychological interventions, PDE5 inhibitors, injectable or intraurethral medication, vacuum erection devices, and penile prostheses for medically resistant cases.⁹

NIDDK recommends treating the underlying cause when possible and discussing supplements or alternative treatments with a healthcare professional before using them.

Persistent ED is worth evaluating because it may be connected to a broader health issue.

A meta-analysis of 12 prospective cohort studies found that men with ED had higher risks of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality than men without ED.⁵

Replacing that evaluation with a viral kitchen remedy could delay useful treatment.

Is the Baking Soda Trick the Same as the Vicks Trick?

No.

They are separate rumors, although some search terms combine them.

The generic baking soda trick usually involves drinking baking soda mixed with water, honey, or another ingredient.

The Vicks trick involves applying a mentholated ointment topically and was promoted through the separate advertisement I investigated in my article about the Vicks VapoRub trick for ED.

Some people search for “Vicks and baking soda” or a combined “Vicks VapoRub and baking soda trick,” but the archived Vicks advertisement did not mention baking soda.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the baking soda trick really work?

There is no credible evidence that drinking baking soda improves erections or treats erectile dysfunction.

The claims are based largely on internet rumors and unsupported theories involving body pH and nitric oxide.

What is the baking soda trick recipe?

There is no standardized or medically approved recipe.

Online versions commonly mix baking soda with water and may add honey, lemon, salt, or apple cider vinegar.

The absence of a standardized recipe is another reason not to treat it as a legitimate medical protocol.

Does baking soda help you stay hard?

There is no clinical evidence that it helps a man maintain an erection.

Persistent difficulty staying hard can have vascular, neurological, hormonal, medication-related, or psychological causes.

Does honey and baking soda help erections?

There is no evidence that combining honey with baking soda produces an effective ED remedy.

Honey may change the flavor and provide sugar, but it does not turn sodium bicarbonate into a proven erection treatment.

Does baking soda increase testosterone?

There is no convincing evidence that ordinary baking soda consumption meaningfully raises testosterone in men or corrects clinically low testosterone.

Is the Baking Soda Trick supplement legitimate?

The site advertising the supplement raises substantial concerns.

It does not list baking soda among its displayed ingredients, and its order button redirected me to EndoPeak rather than to a clearly identified Baking Soda Trick checkout.

Is the Baking Soda Trick FDA-approved?

No dietary supplement displayed on the site should be assumed FDA-approved merely because it was allegedly manufactured in an FDA-registered facility.

The site’s own footer says its claims have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Can too much baking soda hurt you?

Yes.

Excessive or repeated ingestion can cause sodium overload, electrolyte disturbances, metabolic alkalosis, and other serious complications.

Final Verdict: Skip the Baking Soda Trick

The phrase “baking soda trick for men” is being used to describe both an unsupported home remedy and a questionable supplement-marketing funnel.

There is no convincing evidence that drinking baking soda—with water, honey, salt, lemon, or anything else—treats erectile dysfunction or helps men stay hard.

The commercial site is even more concerning.

It uses an exact-match Baking Soda Trick domain, promotes a formula that apparently contains no baking soda, makes aggressive sexual-health claims, and routes its order button through an affiliate redirect to an entirely different product.

That is not how a transparent product seller should operate.

The baking soda trick does not appear to be a hidden ED cure.

It is an internet rumor being repackaged as a search-engine and affiliate-marketing opportunity.
