Description

D-lactic acid, also known as (R)-lactic acid, is a chiral isomer of lactic acid. It is a natural compound produced by certain bacteria during fermentation. D-lactic acid is found in fermented foods like yogurt and cheese, as well as in the human body as a byproduct of muscle metabolism. D-lactic acid is also used in the production of biodegradable plastics and other polymers. It is being studied for its potential therapeutic applications, including its ability to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells and its use in the treatment of osteoporosis. The effects of d-lactic acid are varied depending on the context. High levels of D-lactic acid in the blood can lead to lactic acidosis, a dangerous condition characterized by a buildup of acid in the body. D-lactic acid is studied for its potential applications in a variety of fields, including medicine, food science, and materials science.'
