What does it do?

Sodium lactate is a compound formed by the combination of lactate and sodium ions, primarily used to maintain the acid-base balance in body fluids and replenish electrolytes. In pharmaceuticals, it is particularly included in intravenous solutions to regulate acidity in the body and maintain electrolyte balance.

Sodium lactate lowers acidity and maintains blood pH within the normal range by converting lactate to bicarbonate in the body. It also provides sodium ions to assist electrolyte balance and support normal fluid function.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike simple sodium supplements, sodium lactate is characterized by its direct contribution to acid-base balance regulation as lactate converts to bicarbonate. This makes it effective for the treatment of acidosis or the improvement of electrolyte imbalances.
