I have asked this question because in class ma'am told us that lactic acid is used as a spermicidal tablet. HOpe now the question is more clear.   Lactic acid is a product of vigorous activity of our body and it is harmful for production of our progeny ? Justify Collapse Answers EXPERT ANSWER Fakeha Anis, Meritnation expert added an answer, 12 hours, 49 minutes ago Dear student, Please find below the solution to the asked query In humans, when muscle cells do not get enough oxygen, they respire anaerobically to meet the energy requirement. This results in the production of lactic acid Without Oxygen Glu cos e Alcohol / Lactic acid + Energy + Carbon dioxide Production of lactic acid is not harmful for our body. It provides energy or fuel to the body during prolonged exercise. It does not cause harm to the progeny. During pregnancy, only some light exercises are advised by doctor. With less exercise, lactic acid production is not much. This does not harm the baby. The pH of lactic acid can cause muscles to function inefficiently only when the exercise is vigorous.

Dear student, 
Please find below the solution to the asked query        

Yes, lactic acid does constitute in spermicidal tablets. But, the spermicidal effect of lactic acid has not been proved yet. Lactic acid shows little effect as a spermicide. Also, spermicides are not an effective contraception method. Hence, this does not affect the progeny.
Lactic acid produced as a result of vigorous activity is product of anaerobic respiration. It does not accumulate for long in body. So, there is no harm of exercising on the progeny.
