lactic

Derived from dairy

Lactic relates to milk or milk production.

In chemistry, lactic acid is produced when bacteria ferment lactose—the process that sours milk and creates yogurt.

The same acid builds up in muscles during intense exercise, causing the burn of exertion: My legs were screaming with lactic acid by the end of the climb.
