⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Prolactate is the perfect program to keep track of my lactate measurements and maintain an overview of my progress! It's very easy to go in and compare your lactate measurements with previous ones. You also have the option not to just use the standard 2.0 and 4.0 mmol values, which often don’t apply once you reach a certain level. And here you have a program that handles it for you! Previously, I just used Excel, but Prolactate is a game changer for me and my measurements!
