Overview

Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid and is used primarily as an alkalinizing agent in medicine. It acts as a source of bicarbonate for the prevention or control of mild to moderate metabolic acidosis in patients with restricted oral intake whose oxidative processes are not seriously impaired. The mechanism involves metabolic conversion of lactate to bicarbonate, which helps restore acid-base balance. It is administered intravenously and should not be used for severe acidosis or lactic acidosis due to potential detrimental effects. Outside medicine, it serves as a food additive (E325), preservative, acidity regulator, bulking agent, and humectant in cosmetics[2][4][5][8].
