The aim of the experiment was to examine the effects of consuming lactate before and during a prolonged exercise. The data shows that the consumption of the lactate actually did work and the performance of the subject was better than the previous three experiments of dieting. This was due to the lactate that was consumed in the CytoMax. Azevedo‚ Tietz‚ Two-Feathers‚ Paull‚ and Chapman (2007) state that CytoMax contains polylactate which speeds up the delivery of substrates and is thought to help

Donating Blood as Stated by the American Red Cross It is said that 70% of Americans are eligible to give blood even though the criteria to donate seems quite strict. Each case is treated individually based on why the person is donating. An autologous donor is one who is giving blood to use for them self if needed during a future surgery.
