How does AKALI® help eliminate lactic acid?
Lactic acid (C3H6O3) is a chemical compound produced during normal metabolism and exercise. Lactic acid (C3H6O3) is ionized in the blood stream and tissues to form lactate ions (CH3CH(OH)COO−), which are then combined with sodium ions (Na+) or potassium ions (K+) and excreted into the urine by the kidneys. AKALI® does not specifically remove acidic byproducts such as lactic acid, but instead buffers or adds to the body’s natural acid/base balance, which removes acidic byproducts produced during normal metabolism and exercise.
