Beta Alanine
Discover the incredible potential of Beta-Alanine to enhance muscle carnosine levels, surpassing even carnosine itself. This unassuming amino acid delivers a tingling burst to the skin, well-known for its ability to support metabolic processes during exercise and reduce early onset fatigue. In particular, it may be beneficial for high-intensity training, where the reliance on glucose for ATP production can result in exercise-induced metabolic acidosis. By buffering this acidity, muscle carnosine can help combat muscular fatigue and maintain muscle function. Unleash the power of Beta-Alanine for peak performance.
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.
