I hope that this article provides you with a possible short-term remedy and does not confuse you more but rather makes you more aware of what is going on when your muscles become fatigued.

<<<Over the years we have been taught that it is the build-up of lactic acid that is the downfall of muscle fatigue and soreness. This is only partially true; there is a little more to it than what we have been told.>>>>

very true - there a at least 10 other things that contribute to fatigue!!

Isn't sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) washing soda / soda ash? Are you sure we can have that?

"Over the years we have been taught that it is the build-up of lactic acid that is the downfall of muscle fatigue and soreness. This is only partially true; there is a little more to it than what we have been told."

I'm sorry, but I have to refute this claim. In fact, it has been indicated that lactic acid plays NO ROLE in muscle fatigue nor soreness. I'm not trying to rip apart the article, but just wanted to point that out. I've been involved with some of these studies first hand and our findings show no correlation what so ever between lactic acid and muscle fatigue nor soreness. In fact, our studies have indicated that lactic acid is a fuel and can only improve athletic performance.
