Product Description:
Lactate (Lactic acid) sodium is the product of glycogenolysis and glycolysis[1]. Lactate (Lactic acid) sodium is an organic salt that is mainly used as a buffer and pH adjuster for injection solutions. Lactate sodium can be metabolized by the body into sodium bicarbonate, which in turn acts to increase the pH of the blood. Lactate sodium is used to improve metabolic acidosis and hypovolemic states. In terms of pharmaceutical preparations, Lactate sodium is often used in combination with sodium chloride, glucose, etc. to form normal saline or compound liquid intravenous injection[2][3][4][5]. Lactate sodium also has antimicrobial activity, which can be used as a food preservative[6].
