we had learned of the ideas behind lactate buffers, and the amounts it would take to completely buffer the acid produced during high intensity exercise, would be far too high. I don't know about these supplements in particular though...
PERSONALLY, these artifical supplements is just another example of the "how to get rich quick" schemes that many people have when it comes to their fitness. "i want to be the best right now, right away" and they don't want to put in the time it takes to train their bodies to handle the acids produced (which by the way, it isn't lactate that is causing the burn, its actually another acid, but that's a different story). There is no research over long tern use of these supplements...and my opinion, i like the old fashioned way of practice, training and patience.
TWO CENTS!

Thanks Zen
I searched for "sports legs" and "sport leg" and got nyada!
I do remember following that thread now - and the response from the manufacturers/sellers.
Hann, I think that view is worth much much more than 2 cents!
As I say, I agree, if it was that easy, everyone would use it, and then such products would be listed as banned substances...
Knotted - you don't shave your legs???
LOL, I only ever shaved my legs in summer - until I started cycling. Now I shave every Friday night at least in prep for Saturday racing - they write our numbers on our left leg... so its a vanity thing.
I'm off for a long workout today - sort that lactic acid the "natural" way
