Barley Green supplement. Alkaline environment - aerobic benefits

Has anyone heard of any possible benefit, particularly to make the
body environment more alkaline of this supplement:

Some people are advocating this and green leafy veg laden diet as
promoting aerobic endurance, helping the body to stay more alkaline,
aiding in dealing with lactic acid buildup that exercise causes.

Thoughts, experience, anecdotes?

Thanks,
Park

I heard that ingesting DRANO will make your body more alkaline. HTH.

You can't make your "body" more alkaline by your food or supplements.
Your urine, perhaps, that's about it. There is an extremely small
viable Ph range for one's blood, outside of which one dies.

Work out lactic acid by gently moving that area for a while. When you
exert your muscles, a long series of chemical reactions goes on inside
them. I believe the way it goes is, if your muscle doesn't get enough
oxygen -- which I think happens either if you're out of shape and/or
you get out of breath, or you overwork the muscle -- then the chemical
reactions stop at a phase where lactic acid is produced in the muscle,
and this will make you very sore. If you keep the muscle moving slowly
during your cool down, enough oxygen gets in there to break down the
lactic acid through the rest of the chemical reactions that were supposed
to happen, back to carbon dioxide and water.
