    Decrease lactic acid?

    Yo fellas i recently came across this store that had this great deal on the multivitamin activite by MHP. It was 50% off!!! i had to get it and i'm going to try it out after i run out of my mega men from GNC. Anyways it says it has this patented carbogen in it which has been proven to decrease lactic acid by 247%. Those are some big numbers but i was wondering how much of a difference that would make since lactic acid is the reason your muscles fatigue at the gym. Also i was wondering if there is anything that is proven to decrease lactic acid as well. Thanx guys.

    Challenging the role of pH in skeletal muscle fatigue.

    Stackhouse SK, Reisman DS, Binder-Macleod SA.

    Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomechanics and Movement Science, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA.

    Muscle fatigue is frequently defined as a temporary loss in force- or torque-generating ability because of recent, repetitive muscle contraction (1). The development of this temporary loss of force is a complex process and results from the failure of a number of processes, including motor unit recruitment and firing rate, chemical transmission across the neuromuscular junction, propagation of the action potential along the muscle membrane and T tubules, Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), Ca2+ binding to troponin C, and cross-bridge cycling (for detailed reviews, see Bigland-Ritchie and Woods(1), McLester(2), and Favero(3)). Muscle fatigue may limit the time a person can stand, the distance a person can ambulate, or the number of stairs a person can ascend or descend. In practical terms, however, we cannot know what actually leads to a decline in function for a given patient. For a phenomenon that may have profound clinical implications, muscle fatigue often receives inadequate attention in physiology textbooks, many of which contain a page or less of information on the entire topic (4-8). In addition, many textbooks report that muscle fatigue is mainly the result of a decrease in pH within the muscle cell due to a rise in hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) resulting from anaerobic metabolism and the accumulation of lactic acid (6-8). Recent literature, however, contradicts this assertion (9-10). The purpose of this update, therefore, is to provide a brief review of the role of pH in the development of muscle fatigue.

    I would like to draw your attention to the fact that a 100% decrease would mean there is none at all.

    Take citrulline malate. Your muscular endurance will go through the roof.

    to answer your question, yes. There is something that is proven to decrease lactic acid build up. Stretching.

    Baking Soda has been proposed to be a buffering agent to help with lactic acid.

    it wil help during the Krebs Cycle to eliminate ammonium and by this way even rencycling one Aminoacid back into the Cycle for energy-ressourrection.

    Best LA-buffer I know.

    What about beta-alanin?

    I´ve read in the descritpion this was usefull, but never heard any reviews especially linked to Lactic acid?

    Citrulline Malate-one PubMed search-nothing but positive abstracts about its usefulness on that issue!
