I've been told that a scoop of baking powder in a glass of cranberry juice does this same thing, years back. Most likely cheaper, too :O)
I have a great alternative to this... just inject pure baking soda into your veins.

CanadaJoe lets see your MD degree

The pain felt from lactic acid is from the acid burn, it can be buffered with supplements. Twinlab used to sell Phos Fuel which worked great but not many people knew what it did thus it had crap sales numbers.
Sodium Bicarbonate will do most of what Phos Fuel did if you can stand the taste. I guess you could cap it and it would work.
You can take baking soda, sodium bicarbonate but that will make you stick and come blasting out of one or both ends of your digestive system. Beta-alanine coverts to carnosine which cna buffer the H+ ion associated with the lactic acid burn. 4g of beta-alanine should suffice and should probably be split up into at least two doses. It also takes awhile for it to convert to carnosine in the muscle so run it for at least a month.
