Delays muscle fatigue

Enhances workout intensity

Boosts muscle endurance

Increases strength

Beta-alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, or in other words, a non-essential amino acid. This means that, unlike most amino acids, it is not used by the body for protein synthesis.

It is synthesized in the liver and can be obtained through the diet via animal-based foods, such as beef and chicken.

Once ingested, beta-alanine combines with histidine within the skeletal muscles to form carnosine. Carnosine is stored in the skeletal muscles.

Carnosine reduces the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles during exercise, contributing to improved athletic performance.

Beta-alanine improves athletic performance by reducing fatigue, increasing endurance, and enhancing physical performance in high-intensity exercises.

Increases Endurance

Studies show that beta-alanine contributes to an increase in time to exhaustion (TTE) – the time from the start of physical exercise until the body is exhausted. This essentially means it helps you exercise for longer periods in each of your workouts.

Benefits in Shorter Duration Exercises

Generally, muscle acidosis limits the duration of high-intensity exercise. For this reason, beta-alanine particularly aids performance during high-intensity, short-duration exercises that last from one to several minutes.
