Another effective supplement for lactic acid reduction is citrulline malate. I have not tried it personally, but a lot of body builders report good effect from it. Keep in mind that citrulline is cycled to become arginine, and malate will increase the level of malic acid by shifting the equilibrium, which can cause problems in some people.
Good to know! I get thiamin from my B complex tablets I’ve been taking for the last couple months, but I guess it’s worth looking into. ThanksYou might also look into your thiamin level, that has been shown to reduce lactic acid.
I’ll keep that in mind! I’ve taken methyl-B12, methylfolate, B6 and biotin on their own but haven’t tried thiamin separately.A complex may not be the best way to go. It may have the wrong ratio of B vitamins for your needs. Some of us have vastly different needs for various B's.
B2 is pretty important for mito function and B5 is needed for acetyl-CoA.I’ll keep that in mind! I’ve taken methyl-B12, methylfolate, B6 and biotin on their own but haven’t tried thiamin separately.
