Product Description

Beta Alanine

Beta-Alanine boasts the incredible ability to increase muscle carnosine better than carnosine itself! A humble amino acid that packs a tingling punch to the skin that beta-alanine is very well known. A great tool for metabolic processes incurred during exercise and may help to reduce the early onset of fatigue, especially in high-intensity training.

During high-intensity exercise, there is a greater reliance on ATP production from glucose resulting in an accumulation of acid, which leads to exercise-induced metabolic acidosis. This acidity has been implicated as the cause of muscular fatigue and decreased muscle contractile function. By buffering exercise-induced acidity, muscle carnosine may be of benefit, especially in events with prolonged bouts of high-intensity exercise.*

Muscle carnosine works as:

An intramuscular antioxidant
Intramuscular buffer for exercise-induced acidity
Aids in the regulation of calcium transients in sarcoplasm and the sensitivity of skeletal muscle contractile apparatus to calcium
Triggers neuromuscular junctions and can trigger contractions.
Protects against glycation. Glycation is a process whereby sugars attach to proteins and oxidise, causing damage to muscles, collagen, and connective tissue.

Dosage for Beta-Alanine

Consume 3.2 g (slightly under 1 scoop) with 50 mL of water, per training session.
