The search for a good supplement to slow down lactic acid buildup v1.0
Posted on 3/12/26 at 6:27 pm
Posted on 3/12/26 at 6:27 pm
(for high intensity workouts)
My search listed a top 5.
Creatine
Beta Alanine
BCAAs 2:1:1 L-Leucine, L-Iseucine, L-Valine
Magnesium Lactate
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
After some initial dosing, sodium bicarbonate is out. Two much water retention and not a good long term option. The dosing for an athlete is .3g per kg of body weight and I’m not keen on dosing more than 20g per day.
The plan would be dosing 2x per day.
5g Creatine
3g Beta Alanine
12.7g BCAAs (3500:1750:1750)
100mg Magnesium Hydroxide
100mg Magnesium Malate
6am/4pm dosing
Magnesium Lacatate isn’t water soluble (I did find a powder, though) so I chose two other Magnesium options: Hyrdoxide is good at reducing stomach acid and malate for energy levels and muscle recovery. Trying to keep the total Magnesium intake to 400mg per day.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

Xendurance extreme endurance. I train for Hyrox and use this and my lactic acid build up is minimal.

I’ve used it but it really jacked up my calcium levels.

I used SportLegs for the Brooklyn Half last year. Had a lot of elevation I wasn’t used to (train in S Fla). I PR’d and legs felt great the entire run.
No clue if it worked but I’m thinking it did. Could be placebo effect.

Thanks, I will look at that.
Right now, I have everything I need a will blend everything into one 60 serving mix and dose using a 15g scoop.

If you are serious I would look into this product. Relatively new, might be other competitors out there, not sure.

L-Leucine
I'd rather have the lactic acid than taste L-Leucine. I have to mix it with something else to mask it enough to choke it down.

I just used a packaged watermelon flavored BCAA with everything.,
Needed something with flavoring.

Can you elaborate on why you’re on this quest? As someone who lifts for general health, size, and strength gains I have never seen lactic acid buildup as a problem that needed solving, and a little bit of burn is at least confirmation I’m hitting the muscle I intended to hit and feedback that I might be in too high of a rep range for my goals. I won’t claim to have researched it extensively, is there some benefit to delaying onset for someone who isn’t an Olympic athlete I’m unaware of?

High intensity workouts up to 16 minutes will absolutely blast the main muscle group under tension.
We aren’t talking about super heavy weights, just moderate totals.
