It is a common misconception that lactate or “lactic acid” is what causes delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), or the feeling of fatigue or burning in the muscles. During exercise, lactate takes up excess hydrogen, which helps you continue to exercise. Metabolic acidosis is actually the cause of the burning sensation in the muscles during high-intensity work and is a sign of fatigue, often forcing you to slow down. This acidosis happens outside the mitochondria when too many hydrogen protons accumulate from ATP hydrolysis (the combination of ATP and water). Some supplements that may help clear metabolic acidosis are cordyceps mushrooms, creatine, and beta-alanine (for more information on supplementation, see ssss1). Foods that help prevent acidosis because of their bicarbonate-and potassium-rich content are bananas, leafy greens, tomatoes, and potatoes.
