Cure for burning muscles -- antacids?

A friend mentioned this today, was wondering if anyone else has heard of this?

If I remember correctly, the burning sensation you get when your muscles get tired is from a build up of lactic(?) acid. My friend said that by taking antacids, it would (I forget if he said make it go away, or take longer for the burning to occur, or something).

one is digestive system one is your circulatory system. I highly doubt this would work. I could try it out i guess.

I'm with Blair, I think you'd have to shoot up the antacids for that to work.

I'm an avid cyclist, and I highly recommend Endurox R4 as your first drink once you come off the water. It's really an excellent "recovery drink", and I think it dramatically reduces cramping and soreness after a hard ride, in addition to helping me "bounce back" quite quickly. There are other sports drinks designed to slow lactic acid buildup *during* exercise (I drink Cytomax when riding), but the Endurox R4 seems to have a greatest impact for what your're discussing.

Here's a link: http://www.enduroxr4.com/index_ntscp.html

I am not affiliated with this company at all. I am merely a customer.

One more thing: *DO NOT* try the "citrus" flavor!!! It is the most horrible thing imaginable (not to mention the lovely honeydew-green color). I recommend the Vanilla. Yum.

I hear bananas are supposed to be good for cramps, but you have to stick it in your ass for it work.

From what I've seen, the most common drink after leaving the water is beer.

I used to bmx. After a race I would get crazy cramps in my legs in the middle of the night. Bananas cured the cramps. Potassium in the bananas is what was told to me.
