	Lactic Acid
		Lactic acid has been blamed for soreness, injury to muscles, cramps, oxygen debt, etc. Lactic acid really is not so bad.
		Lactic acid can also be used as an important fuel or as a source for glucose and glycogen synthesis.
		The removal of accumulated lactic acid helps avert excessively high levels, and the conversion of lactate into glucose helps maintain sufficient levels of blood glucose, which is important during prolonged exercise.

	Lactic Acid
		Lactic acid is a natural by-product of anaerobic exercise and, no, it’s not all bad – but we still want to limit it’s production at certain times in the training cycle.
		At first this is no problem as the lactic acid is produced at a rate which can be used by the aerobic muscle fibers as a fuel, buffered by the chemicals released in the cell or cleared from the cell and taken away by the blood vessels.
		Lactic acid that cannot be buffered in the muscle cell or used by the aerobic muscle cells as a fuel is cleared from the muscle and swept away by the capillaries.

		Lactic Acid is the smallest chemical molecule with an asymmetric carbon and therefore exists with two stereo-isomers : the L(+) and the D(-).
		From basic lactic acid it is then possible to synthetise lactates salts and lactate esters.
		Pharmaceutical and food industries show preference for the L(+) lactic acid and lactates because the D(-) form is not metabolised by the human body.
