What’s the difference between Lactate and Lactic Acid?

Question

Or are they the same thing? Does your heart use both during the metabolic process? Or! If lactic acid is what you feel in the muscle due to lactate build up? How does this help with endurance during short and long high intensity workouts?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Are you sure you don’t mean lac*tose*? *Lactate* means to produce milk, such as a mother mammal producing milk for her offspring.
