The Science
RECOVERY IS
THE GAME
The athletes who recover fastest go the hardest longest. Here's the science behind how LactiGo gives you that edge.
The Mechanism
Why LactiGo Works
PUSH HARD
Intense effort causes hydrogen ions to accumulate, dropping muscle pH and degrading performance
BUFFER FAST
LactiGo's transdermal sodium bicarbonate neutralizes hydrogen ions directly in the muscle
GO AGAIN
Faster pH recovery means faster return to peak output — whether it's the next rep, next sprint, or second half
Faster Lactate Clearance
LactiGo delivers sodium bicarbonate transdermally — straight through the skin, directly to the muscle. It buffers lactic acid during and after intense effort, helping you clear faster than oral supplementation.
Recover Between Sets & Games
Not just post-workout — LactiGo works between efforts. Whether you're in halftime, running intervals, or between heavy lifts, applying it keeps your muscles primed for the next push.
No GI Distress
Oral sodium bicarbonate causes stomach issues for most athletes. Transdermal delivery bypasses the gut entirely. Same buffering power, none of the cramping or bloating.
Endurance + Power Athletes
Used by distance runners, cyclists, team sport athletes, and strength athletes alike. If your sport involves repeated high-intensity efforts, lactate accumulation is the enemy. LactiGo is the answer.
Stop Leaving Recovery on the Table
Every athlete knows the work. Not every athlete knows the recovery. LactiGo is the part most people skip — and why they plateau while others progress.

Recovery Science FAQ
What is lactic acid and why does it matter?
Lactic acid (more precisely, lactate + hydrogen ions) accumulates during high-intensity exercise and contributes to that burning sensation and performance decline. Faster clearance = more sustained output.
How does transdermal delivery work?
LactiGo's gel formula penetrates the skin's lipid barrier and delivers sodium bicarbonate directly to the muscle tissue beneath. No digestion required — it's absorbed locally where you need it.
When do I apply it?
30–45 minutes before competition or intense training, and again at halftime or between efforts. Apply to the large muscle groups you'll be working — quads, hamstrings, calves.
Is it legal in competition?
Yes. Sodium bicarbonate is not on any prohibited list. LactiGo is safe for all levels of competition including collegiate and professional sport.
