Sodium lactate naturally exists in the human body, so it can be used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) solutions for nephoric patients and in dialysis solutions for conventional artificial kidney machines. In addition, it can also be used as an electrolyte in parental/I.V. solutions intended for fluid or electrolyte replenishment.

Calcium, magnesium, ferrous and zinc lactate are all commonly used lactates. Their physiology exists, good taste, high solubility and bioavailability, can be used in preparations for mineral deficiency therapies and prevention.

L (+) lactic acid or D (-) lactic acid with very high stereochemical purity, can be used as the raw materials for synthesis of chiral products for the pharm industry. Lactic acid ester can be directly used as the Intermediates in synthesis process, increase effectiveness.

PLA, which is polymerized by L-lactic acid, has unique biological compatibility and biological degradability, and it is high in intensity, good in plasticity, apt to shaping, so be widely used as surgical sutures, mechanically strong materials, tissue repair material, and pack materials used to treat retina come off. Otherwise, it is an ideal material for drug delivery with the metabolism security and controllability of hydrolysis rate, and is used in a wide variety of pharmaceutical controlled drug delivery systems.
