LactiGo Review, LactiGo vs PR Lotion (AMP), Carnosine vs Sodium Bicarbonate - a podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

LactiGo Discount Code: Brendan20.  Let me cut to the chase: LACTIGO IS LEGIT. 

It is nothing like AMP PR Lotion. More on that below.  

When we go hard, we undergo glycolysis to produce energy. One of the big byproducts of this process is the production of hydrogen ions which creates acidity in our bodies (that burn when you’re dropping the hammer!) 

This burn is the hydrogen ions, not lactic acid.  Said differently, if you’re wondering how to prevent lactic acid or lactic acid build up, you’re really wanting to understand the reduction of hydrogen ions in the bloodstream.  

Sodium bicarbonate is used to buffer hydrogen ions in the blood.   

Carnosine is a sponge that soaks up free hydrogen ions and binds them. Carnosine buffers hydrogen ions in the cells, meaning it actually has a greater effect at reducing the burning sensation that we feel.  

Carnosine is one of the first thing that balances the acid, and this happens in the cells, before it is in the bloodstream. Once it’s in the bloodstream, sodium bicarbonate can go to work.  

Summary: LactiGo goes to work on reducing the burning feeling well before AMP PR Lotion does. You feel less burn with Lactigo and the muscles can work harder.  I

f you’ve used sodium bicarbonate products, you know how messy, thick, and gunky they are. LactiGo gel absorbs and dries on your skin within minutes. No thick paste on your legs. It’s so much cleaner and easier to use than other products on the market.  

It delivers carnosine to the muscles through the skin on your FIRST application. We’ll get into this below.  

LactiGo deliver carnosine directly to your muscles, which has been shown to improve aerobic and anaerobic athletic performance.  

You can produce more work at a similar metabolic load, and this higher workload will provide you with more adaptation at the workload. Do more work, get stronger on the bike.  

Carnosine will improve not only your anaerobic power (sprinting, hard 1 minute max efforts, bridging gaps, etc), but also your aerobic power at VO2Max, Functional Threshold Power (FTP), and endurance for long rides. You will fatigue slower and increase your Time To Exhaustion.  

LactiGO has figured out how to apply the lotion and have the carnosine enter the muscle within 45 minutes of application, so you no longer need to go through the 8 week loading phase with Beta Alanine.  

My personal review of AMP: mixed. Some days it felt like like a little benefit, other days, none.  I’ve used it on some really hard intervals, and didn’t have an increase in watts or feel any better than if I didn’t use AMP.  

The consistency of AMP Human PR Lotion is also somewhat annoying to deal with. I’m kneading the bottle to try and make sure it’s all mixed up, and sometimes you just get too much sodium bicarbonate, sometimes it’s too much of the liquid carrier.  

One you put it on, well, you’re hands are a mess. Hopefully you have a towel nearby or a sink to wash your hands.  

When you’re riding, you’ll see the sodium bicarbonate runs down your legs sometimes. Just picking up more road junk as we smash.  IDK, not a huge fan of AMP Human PR Lotion.  

Your Lactigo Discount Code is Brendan20.  

How To Apply LactiGo One LactiGo bottle covers around 10 full-body applications. 

For cycling, I use 10 pumps total, covering my ankles, calves, quads, hamstrings, and glutes.  Apply LactiGo directly to the desired muscles 45 minutes before your activity, workout, or competition.   

Apply another round of LactiGo after your activity to further aid in muscle recovery.
