Is Exogenous Lactate the "Holy Grail" of sports fuelling?

For years, we’ve been focused on >120g/h CHO intake. But how can we explore new limits?

Lactate is not a waste. It´s the most efficient and preferential fuel in the human body.

A thread on the next metabolic frontier🧵

[Aitor Viribay @MVAitor]

Lactate is the most preferential source of energy for the body. Faster than glucose and fructose, more efficient and with higher impact on metabolism - not only energetically.

Next fuelling generation is coming. Its name could be Exogenous Lactate. It´s only about time...

[Aitor Viribay @MVAitor]

A classic (and always interesting) study from Azevedo JL,et al. 2007.

"The main finding was that lactate was oxidized faster and to a greater extent than fructose or glucose."

Here we go with some random-interesting facts about lactate and metabolism. A dynamic threat where everybody can add interesting info. (following the order) about lactate and its implication in exercise, health, and disease metabolism.

Fun coincidence that today -Black Friday- I received my copy of @Ultra_Damo ‘s book “We can’t run away from this”
