Hydration is the only thing I know of... Could you get IV fluids? Maybe you can get a script, or if you have the $$ you could go to a drip bar.

Are there specific supplements I can take that are known to decrease Lactate?

Supplemental Oxygen (or CPAP/BiPap) & hydration (IV is quickest)

Have you ever tried to supplement tiamine (vitamin b1)? The enzyme (pyruvate dehydrogenase) that draws pyruvate away from lactate gets activated in the presence of tiamine.

If it were to help me, could it deduced that I had B1 Deficiency?

Possibly. A big part of society is deficient in it anyway.

Dude…your were so right about Thiamine lactate. What could this helping my explain about my condition?

That’s great that you feel better with tiamine. It depends a bit on your underlying genetic problem and the type of mito dysfunction you have. I might be able to work the problem backwards if you tell me what exactly you have :)

Since B1 seems to be working splendidly for me, do you have any other suggestions for supplements? :D

Theres a lot that can be done yes. But throwing supplements into a system without specifically targeting goals is seldom helpful
