Its rise in blood and muscle coincided with higher-intensity efforts, with the burning sensation and the progressive loss of performance, so much so that <strong>for years it was interpreted as a kind of metabolic waste that the body needed to eliminate as quickly as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exercise physiology has substantially changed that interpretation.<strong> Lactate is not a byproduct that passively accumulates when oxygen is lacking, but rather a metabolite that the body produces and uses continuously.<\/strong> Today we know it can act as fuel, as a metabolic intermediary, and also as a signaling molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The novelty in 2026 is that this conceptual revision has begun to move from the laboratory to elite-level sport. During the Tour de France, <strong>Tadej Poga\u010dar and his UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammates used a new formulation developed alongside Enervit in competition,<\/strong> which incorporates sodium lactate into a carbohydrate-rich drink. The product combines 90 grams of carbohydrates, in a 2:1 ratio of glucose and fructose, with 10 grams of sodium lactate and vitamin B1. The company states that its development spanned two seasons with the riders and the performance team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor is this an isolated case. During the same Tour, <strong>a second commercial avenue emerged, ExoLactate, with a different formulation tested by another professional team.<\/strong> The coincidence is significant because it shows that different companies are trying to solve the same question: whether it is possible to incorporate exogenous lactate into the fueling <em>fueling<\/em> strategy of an endurance athlete and derive a benefit beyond that provided by conventional carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Spain,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorainutrition.com\">Aurora Intelligent Nutrition (AIN)<\/a><\/strong> is already working on developing <strong>nutritional solutions based on exogenous lactate.<\/strong> The company, specialized in formulating and manufacturing supplements and functional nutritional solutions, is precisely exploring one of the least visible aspects of this new trend: <strong>how to incorporate potentially useful amounts of lactate into sports nutrition matrices that maintain adequate stability, functionality, and tolerance during exercise.<\/strong> Its approach still sits in the realm of product development, so its formulations should not be confused with independent clinical validation of lactate's efficacy as a supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/wellnessforum.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AuroraIntelligentNutritionFernandoMorenoCaceres-1080x675-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellnessforum.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AuroraIntelligentNutritionFernandoMorenoCaceres-1080x675-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wellnessforum.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AuroraIntelligentNutritionFernandoMorenoCaceres-1080x675-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellnessforum.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AuroraIntelligentNutritionFernandoMorenoCaceres-1080x675-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wellnessforum.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AuroraIntelligentNutritionFernandoMorenoCaceres-1080x675-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/wellnessforum.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AuroraIntelligentNutritionFernandoMorenoCaceres-1080x675-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From presumed waste to metabolic fuel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea underpinning this shift in perspective is more than four decades old. Physiologist George Brooks developed the <em>Lactate Shuttle<\/em>, theory in the 1980s, according to which lactate acts as an intermediary between energy-producing and energy-consuming tissues. Rather than being trapped in the muscle until exercise ends, it can circulate through the blood and be taken up and oxidized by other tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subsequent research has considerably expanded this model. Lactate is produced even when sufficient oxygen is available and can be used by oxidative muscle fibers, the heart, and the brain. Under certain physiological circumstances, these tissues can use it preferentially over other substrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This distinction matters because it corrects one of the most persistent ideas about exercise: lactate is not responsible for the muscle soreness that appears one or two days after an intense session. The evidence available for decades has ruled out that simplistic explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor is it accurate to claim that lactate is, by itself, the cause of all fatigue during intense effort. The relationship between lactate, acidosis, metabolism, and fatigue is far more complex. Muscle acidosis and other metabolic changes can contribute to the loss of strength and power, while lactate can simultaneously perform metabolic and regulatory functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evolution of research has not been limited to energy metabolism. In 2019, a study published in <em>Nature<\/em> identified histone lactylation, an epigenetic modification derived from lactate metabolism capable of influencing gene expression. The finding opened a new line of research on lactate as a signaling molecule, in addition to being a fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is where the term <em>lactormone<\/em>, comes from, used by some researchers to describe its autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine signaling functions. The concept is biologically interesting, although it should not be confused with clinical evidence: the fact that lactate participates in signaling mechanisms does not mean that consuming it as a supplement will automatically reproduce those effects in an athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does taking lactate actually work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer, as of today, is far less spectacular than some headlines suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are studies suggesting a possible ergogenic effect. In a randomized trial with 15 physically active people, oral lactate supplementation produced approximately 4% more power during a 20-minute time trial, although it did not alter VO\u2082 max, ventilatory threshold, or power associated with the lactate threshold. The small sample size requires caution when interpreting the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another study involving 16 trained cyclists used a much larger dose of lactate before an interval test designed to replicate the demands of a road race. Supplementation favorably modified certain acid-base parameters and reduced perceived exertion, but <strong>did not produce a significant improvement in performance<\/strong>. Additionally, more gastrointestinal symptoms appeared, including gas, cramps, belching, abdominal pain, and intestinal urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current balance, therefore, is far more interesting than the idea of a new \u201csuperfuel\u201d: there is a solid physiological basis for considering lactate an energy substrate, and there are preliminary signs that its exogenous administration could prove useful during certain efforts, but we still lack sufficient evidence to place it on the same level of certainty as the already established carbohydrate intake strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enervit's strategy is especially revealing in the way it incorporates lactate. It does not aim to replace carbohydrates, but rather to add another energy source to a strategy <em>fueling<\/em> that already uses high amounts of glucose and fructose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formulation used by UAE Team Emirates-XRG combines 90 grams of carbohydrates with 10 grams of sodium lactate. The company itself explains that the product is designed for the final and most demanding stages of long races, when energy supply becomes especially critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the most interesting detail is another one: the product is not being used as a universal routine throughout the entire competition. Published information on its use in the Tour points to selective use in stages with high energy demands and to a strategy still being evaluated under real racing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That nuance matters. The fact that Poga\u010dar uses lactate in competition shows that one of the best performance structures in world cycling considers the strategy promising enough to incorporate it into its nutritional arsenal. <strong>It does not prove that the 10 grams of lactate are responsible for his results, nor that the formula will improve the performance of any cyclist.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The real innovation lies in the formulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difficulty is not just about having lactate available, but about managing to administer it in potentially useful amounts within a nutritional strategy that the athlete can tolerate during hours of intense exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gastrointestinal tolerance is one of the obstacles that still appears in the scientific literature. In fact, the available results show that increasing the amount of ingested lactate does not guarantee a proportional improvement in performance and can cause digestive discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why the development of products like Enervit's and the emergence of alternatives such as ExoLactate are relevant even before a definitive conclusion on their efficacy exists. The industry is trying to solve very specific questions around dosage, chemical form, concentration, intestinal transport, combination with carbohydrates, and tolerance during effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El pr\u00f3ximo paso ser\u00e1 determinar en qu\u00e9 circunstancias esa tecnolog\u00eda ofrece realmente una ventaja respecto a las estrategias de nutrici\u00f3n deportiva que ya funcionan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El inter\u00e9s por el lactato no nace, por tanto, de una moda repentina. La transformaci\u00f3n conceptual comenz\u00f3 hace d\u00e9cadas y hoy existe una base cient\u00edfica considerable para entenderlo como un metabolito din\u00e1mico con funciones energ\u00e9ticas y de se\u00f1alizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lo que s\u00ed es nuevo es el intento de convertir ese conocimiento en una herramienta nutricional de uso pr\u00e1ctico y, sobre todo, hacerlo en el entorno m\u00e1s exigente posible: la competici\u00f3n profesional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La presencia del lactato en el Tour de Francia de 2026 marca un cambio de escenario, no el final de la discusi\u00f3n cient\u00edfica. La verdadera prueba llegar\u00e1 cuando puedan compararse de forma independiente distintas formulaciones, dosis y estrategias de administraci\u00f3n en ensayos suficientemente grandes y, especialmente, cuando se pueda determinar si las mejoras observadas en laboratorio se traducen de manera consistente en tiempo, potencia o capacidad de mantener el rendimiento durante una carrera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De momento, el lactato ya ha dejado de ser el villano metab\u00f3lico que durante a\u00f1os se crey\u00f3 que era. Que llegue a convertirse en una herramienta imprescindible para el deportista de resistencia es una cuesti\u00f3n mucho m\u00e1s interesante y, sobre todo, ha despertado el inter\u00e9s de fabricantes especializados como <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurorainutrition.com\"><strong>Aurora Intelligent Nutrition<\/strong>,<\/a> que trabaja en nuevas matrices de nutrici\u00f3n deportiva con lactato ex\u00f3geno, mientras las compa\u00f1\u00edas internacionales empiezan a llevar sus primeras formulaciones a las grandes vueltas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Durante buena parte del siglo XX, el lactato ocup\u00f3 un lugar inc\u00f3modo en la fisiolog\u00eda del ejercicio.
