Can Liver Pills Cause Lactic Acid Build Up In Muscles?
Question: I was recently diagnosed with anemia and was referred to a hematologist for lowering WBC; however, the wait has been long to get in.
I workout 90 minutes per day cardio / strength training; however, I've been completely unable to finish my workouts only getting about 20 minutes into before feeling extremely exhausted and light headed (like I might faint). I wonder if it could be lactic acidosis as I feel ok the rest of the day other than when I workout. When I workout these days, I fell terrible?
I recently began taking beef liver pills to supplement my anemia; could this contribute to lactic acid buildup in the muscles?
Again, other than when I exercise, I feel ok?
Please help?
