SportLegs

I'd be more convinced if the evidence wasn't all anecdote from individuals, rather than cardiopulmonary exercise testing from a sports lab. Lactate is just lactic acid without a hydrogen ion. The best way to get your lactate levels up is to exercise. The mechanism of action the website hints at doesn't make biochemical sense. Better off taking Viagra, at least that has real lab data for improvement in sports exercise performance at altitude ( in around 50% of subjects).

Viagra would be a real concern when you're browsing the demo tent at SES.

True Corey, arousal is generally required for sildenafil's class of drugs to cause that particular set of blood vessels to dilate.

I'm going to assume you would be lusting after the snowboards ;)

I've tried it and while I'm not sure that it helps, I'm pretty certain that it doesn't have any detrimental effects.  It could be total placebo, but at least it won't give me a 4-hour boner.

Health supplements may cause bleeding, often considered minor by the user, usually from the wallet.

 

As soon as I read on the SportLegs site this is "European" lactate, (not common American lactate, oh no!) I am pretty sure they're trying to blind you with trivia. If it worked they wouldn't need to appeal to exotic nebulous properties.

 

And I don't want to know how personally you know the effects of sildenafil. But anyone who needs it should go see a doctor and get a cardiovascular check up cause the need for sildenafil is a pretty sure sign of vascular problems in men.

I never subscribed to the hype and marketing end of sportslegs, I just tried them on an early season bike ride and my legs felt pretty good, so I used them again, and again.... For a little over a buck a day (based on 6 tabs ) it is not major monetary investment that for me helps extend my riding time, totally anecdotal and non quantifiable, but worth it
