@dapose said in Exercise, the Only Known “Medicine” for Maintaining and Improving Mitochondrial Function:
If I have particularly lazy days laying around, my legs will be so stiff and I will generally have a low grade ache everywhere.
Absence of exercise impacts
Short answer 😉
Thiamine deficiency leads to excess lactate

You miss thiamine (B1) from conventional food sources
Our typical diet covers approximately 45 to 53% of your daily vitamin B1 requirements. And I don’t mean eating fast-food but a conventional one.
B1 from food = ~50% of needs → supplement provides the remaining ~50%.
A B50 2x/wk. brings 14–16 mg/day on average. I won’t take a B50 complex every day.
=> Probably.0.5 mg per additional 1000 K/cal. So, RDA 1.2 mg + 0.5 mg = 1.7 mg for 3 000 K/cal.
A target intake around 1.6–1.8 mg/day of thiamine is a reasonable nutritional estimate, but not a medical prescription.
Magnesium helps to a certain extent.
What vitamins help with acidosis? Which proportion as a prevention?

Muscle pain, lactic acid and thiamine B1 – A myth? No so far, for my personal case.
Average deficiency in vitamin status
High deficit for B1 (70-80%), B2 (60%), B9 (90%), C (60%), A (15%), E (75% W – 40% M), D (90%), iron (90% W – 5% M) and magnesium (80% W – 60% M). (ESVITAF, 1986).
Impact of a moderate amount of alcohol (2 glass wine or 2 beers), as an extra precaution: ~0.3–0.5 mg/day more.
