100% Pure Beta-Alanine

Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine is one of the most studied and tested amino acids that has been proven to enhance exercise performance, particularly muscular endurance – improving time to fatigue and decreasing exhaustion in events lasting from seconds to upward of four minutes.

Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring, and therefore, non-essential amino acid, meaning healthy individuals biosynthesize the amount necessary for normal function. However, if efficient production is occurring or there is insufficient intake from a well-formulated diet, then a beta-alanine dietary supplement can support everyday physiological functions. This amino acid is extremely important in at least six physiological processes necessary for optimal health for athletes and non-athletes alike.

Who should take Beta-Alanine?

The most serious participants in weight lifting, baseball, football, CrossFit, volleyball, gymnastics, and many other sports, know of and probably supplement with beta-alanine to support and enhance their performance goals. The reason Beta-alanine is supplemented by these types of athletes is because is an integral component of the dipeptide carnosine that is found in both type I (slow-twitch) and type II (fast-twitch) muscle fiber types. During exercise, carnosine helps prevent intracellular acidosis by providing a hydrogen ion buffer to maintain a normal muscle cell pH during intense activity of short duration.
