What is ExoLactate®?

ExoLactate® is an exogenous lactate formulation designed to provide lactate directly to the body's metabolic systems. Lactate is a molecule naturally produced by humans and plays a central role in energy metabolism, exercise performance, recovery and cellular communication.

ExoLactate® is built upon decades of scientific research by researchers such as George Brooks. Studies 1,2,3 demonstrate that lactate is not a waste product, but rather one of the body's most important energy substrates.1,2

Is ExoLactate® suitable for all sports?

ExoLactate® has been developed to support athletes participating in endurance, intermittent and high-intensity sports where efficient energy delivery and performance maintenance are critical. It can be incorporated into a broader race or training nutrition strategy according to the specific demands of the sport and athlete. Exolactate® will benefit both low intensity exercise and hard explosive efforts.

What happens after consuming ExoLactate®?

Following ingestion2,4:
  • Lactate becomes available as an oxidative fuel
  • Lactate enters existing physiological lactate shuttle pathways
  • Multiple tissues can utilise lactate for energy production
  • Lactate may participate in metabolic signaling processes
Because lactate is already a naturally occurring molecule, ExoLactate® works with biological systems that already exist within the body.

Can ExoLactate® improve athletic performance?

Current scientific evidence suggests exogenous lactate may potentially 3,4,5,6,7 :
  • Support oxidative metabolism
  • Provide an additional fuel source
  • Improve energy transformation efficiency
  • Contribute to glycogen sparing
  • Assist recovery processes
  • Support prolonged exercise performance
Research remains ongoing. Further human research is required to fully understand optimal applications across different sports and training environments.1,2

Can ExoLactate® support recovery?

Potentially. By delaying fatigue and minimising the impact of the exercise in the body, Lactate supplementation can support recovery from exercise. Moreover, some data suggests that neuromuscular function and glycogen - energy status can be promoted after lactate supplementation. Over consecutive days, Exolactate could optimise recovery from exercise. 5,6

Is ExoLactate® related to longevity research?

Potentially. Emerging research is investigating lactate's role in mitochondrial function, brain health, metabolic flexibility, cellular adaptation and healthy aging. Whilst this field is still developing, lactate biology is becoming increasingly relevant within longevity and performance science.6,7

Why is ExoLactate® generating so much interest?

Because it is built upon one of the biggest paradigm shifts in modern physiology.1,2 
For decades, lactate was misunderstood. Today, science recognises lactate as:
  • A major fuel source
  • The main gluconeogenic precursor
  • A metabolic regulator
  • A signalling molecule
  • A key component of exercise performance
  • A contributor to brain metabolism
  • An important player in recovery and adaptation
ExoLactate® seeks to leverage these biological mechanisms by working with the body's natural lactate metabolism.

Is ExoLactate® safe?

Lactate is a naturally occurring metabolite present in all humans. Current scientific evidence suggests exogenous lactate formulations demonstrate a favourable safety profile in healthy individuals when used appropriately4,6.
Individuals with underlying medical conditions should consult qualified healthcare professionals before beginning any supplementation protocol.

Is ExoLactate® considered doping?

No. ExoLactate® does not contain any substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and is designed to support athletic performance through nutritional strategies rather than pharmacological intervention. ExoLactate® delivers carbohydrates and exogenous lactate as nutritional ingredients intended to support energy availability during exercise. 
ExoLactate® is a sports nutrition product, not a medical product. As with any nutrition product used in elite sport, athletes are encouraged to follow their organisation's supplementation policies and consult qualified professionals if they have specific anti-doping questions.
