About Lactic Acid
- When muscles are not provided with enough Oxygen they go into Oxygen Debt and begin producing Lactic Acid which builds up in the muscles causing a stitch.
- Lactic Acid is toxic in large quantities so it is transported to the liver where it is removed from the blood and detoxified.
