I think we have all worked out or just worked too hard and the next day felt like we can hardly move. The muscles are sore and stiff.
It’s also common knowledge that it’s a buildup of lactic acid that causes the pain… but why?
To me this subject is fascinating because it is so misunderstood and yet so simple.
Let’s talk about lactic acid and lactate.
First lactate…
Lactate is what our muscles use as fuel. Without lactate you would be a pile of goo on the floor.
Lactate is also neutral in pH, in other words it’s not acidic and it’s not alkaline.
When we put our muscles under load they use fuel (Lactate) and in the process a hydrogen molecule is also produced and that is when lactic acid is created.
The only difference between lactate and lactic acid is one hydrogen molecule.
Just like your car turns gas into smoke your muscles turn lactate into lactic acid.
Obviously the more you work, then the more fuel your muscles burn and therefore the more acidity is produced.
The very interesting thing that happens is that the more hydrogen there is-the less oxygen. Think of hydrogen and oxygen as total opposites. The more hydrogen that is in a liquid (it can be a glass of water or your blood) the less oxygen there will be.
On the flip side if you add oxygen to a liquid there is less hydrogen.
When a muscle is under load for a long time and starts to burn, part of that feeling is a lack of oxygen. That’s also why we huff and puff when we exercise; it’s our bodies way of exchanging hydrogen for oxygen.
pHenomenal is revolutionizing the athletic community because pHenomenal binds and rids the body of hydrogen! This increases oxygen in the blood creating better endurance and more strength.
My favorite part is much shorter recovery times (with less pain) because the muscles aren’t stuck in a low oxygen environment while they are repairing and rebuilding. And you know what that means for you…you can work out even more without extra pain.
Thanks for the share!

Hello. I agree with you – 100% +. Thank you for the information. Nathan.
Great information! I also watched the other videos. Now just need to get others that are suffering and get them to watch these videos and have them try pHenomenal.
Shannon thanks for this latest video which is very exciting. I am a MRSA “survivor,” phenomenol drinker and massage therapist. Your interview with Diane was also informative. Knowing how toxic muscles get from lactic acid, I think I understand the physiology. However, to further support and test the power of phenomenol after a workout, wouldn’t it be beneficial to compare the same workout scenario and drink plain water in order to have numbers to compare? Just a thought.
Cindy
Hi Cindy, thanks for your comments. You are right about the work out scenario and we do compare these numbers. And guess what? pHenomenal always brings the acid levels down with amazing speed. But we will be giving more details later on. Have a great day.
how do I get a lactic acid meter?
You can search for them on online. The one that Shannon uses it from lactate.com, but these are quite expensive as all of them all. We are looking for a cheaper alternative to suggest to our clients. Hope we find one soon for you.
Would this help a person that has VITILIGO and not have MRSA?
Hi Lynn, sorry to hear that you or someone dear to you may have Vitiligo. As you probably know, the exact reasons for Vitiligo are unknown and so we can’t help you that much. One medical suggestion is that it can be caused by oxidative stress, if this were true, pHenomenal could help, but we cannot guarantee that. I wish we could be of more help.
Hello Shannon,
I’m still on pHenomenal but still haven’t noticed a big difference and I’m still battling with boils. I’ve tried increasing my dosage from 2 ounces to 4 ounces, I could only do about 3 weeks because the taste was to bitter, so I dropped down to 3 ounces which I can tolerate better, I been on 3 ounces for about 2 weeks, I want to stay on the 3 ounces until I see some results on my boils. I have also applied the BpHree during my showers and applied the Phenomenal alkaline skin gel. I have to admit that I have not been adamanent about applying the gels on a daily basis but at least 2-3 days per week, more the average. I still believe that eventually that pHenominal will clear up my boils (I’ve had the boils for about 6 years or more). I do have a few questions, can I use regular PH tape to measure how well the Phnomenal is doing internally and when the calcium is forming and being deposited in the bottom of the bottle, I have tried shaking the bottle and trying to dissolve the calcium but without any luck, so that brought up the question, what is this calcium doing internally in my body, is it causing damage or putting to much calcium into my blood or other organs?
Hi Nate, good to hear you are hanging in there. First off, don’t worry about the calcium and that form of calcium in non-assimilable by the human body. The pH tape can be very inaccurate and your body is ridding itself of acid, so things like your urine usually measure very high in acid. Do me a favor and follow the advice in the new MRSA diet and get back to me in a week.

Hi Nate,
Just wanted to say that my husband has MRSA along with several terminal diseases and I have noticed as his caregiver that when I skip a day or two and didn’t apply the alkaline gel, the boils don’t heal as quickly. So, I started applying the gel (thickly) at least twice a day, the boils were healing much faster. Yes I understand that it’s time consuming, but ITS WORTH IT! His boils healed much quicker and also drinking the pH water (he drinks a gallon a day), helps with his energy level and he feels much better. He didn’t even realize how much better he felt until he skipped several days of drinking it and he said that he felt like a truck had ran over him. No energy and overall just felt crappy. I hope this helps as I can feel your pain and frustrations with this disease. The pHenomenal products have truly been a life saver for us! Good luck to you Nate!
Hi Shannon,
Where do I begin? To start, my husband was recently diagnosed with MRSA. He had the boils and all the other symptoms associated with this disease. He is terminal due to a combination of COPD, diabetes, heart disease, liver & kidney disease, and has had 8 back operations, just to name a few. When my husband was told he had MRSA, the Dr. was very calm, cool and now that I look back on it, also very stand-off-ish like he didn’t want to touch or get to close to my husband and referred him to the wound center and he went there a week and a half later. I am a massage therapist and remembered studying in school only that MRSA is VERY contagious. So, as I do with any new condition that he has (this was before seeing the Dr. at the wound center)…I started researching on-line about MRSA and I was totally freaked out and that is putting it mildly. I was disinfecting anything and everything that my husband came into contact with, on a daily basis, multiple times a day was very tiring and I literally drove myself crazy with fear for my husband as well as our kids and grand kids. I was told by my pharmacist that I didn’t need to sleep in the same bed with him. Anyway, I watched your videos and ordered the kit from you. We are out of the product now and I can see that the fatigue and other symptoms are returning. My husband was put on an antibiotic for the rest of his life, but we saw the difference in how he feels when not using your product so therefore I will re-order as soon as possible. I would like to thank you for your information about MRSA and how your product works to balance the Ph in the body. Your website was the only one that explained MRSA and how it attacks the body’s immune system (without freaking me out) and you will never know how much relief I have gotten, (mentally), to know there is hope with your product. One last thing, I have been using the skin gel on my face and I have gotten several comments about how supple and youthful my skin looks. I haven’t had a break out or pimple on my face since using the gel. Thanks for everything Shannon. Hopefully the MRSA will not be a problem anymore because of your research.
Yours in health,
Sharon
Athletes | pHenomenal Water is a good blog post. I will take more time studying this subject.
