Beta Alanine is considered a non-essential amino acid. It is a versatile supplement that can be added to a variety of drinks, especially pre workout formulas. It is ideal for a range of intense or explosive exercises. When Beta Alanine is combined with L-histidine, carnosine levels are increased in skeletal muscle. Carnosine is responsible for buffering acid in the muscles, particularly in lactic acid which is a by-product of intense exercise. Carnosine has an ability to act as an intracellular antioxidant that can fight cellular fatigue. Its antioxidant properties allow it to remove free-radicals which are another by-product of intense training that can cause cell damage if unattended.
Beta Alanine is well researched as a supplement and many people are able to perform extra reps when training in sets of 8-15 repetitions. One study showed that ingesting six grams of Beta Alanine per day (1.5g four times a day) increased the bunch force of amateur boxers by 20 times, and punch frequency by four times, as compared to a placebo. However, when long rest periods (2-5 minutes) were had between sets of a high-intensity training session, the effects of Beta Alanine were insignificant.
Beta Alanine is commonly used by individuals who partake in intense and high-energy sports. For example weight training, sprinting, boxing or stamina based exercise such as marathons. It has been shown to boost moderate to high-intensity cardiovascular performance between 1 and 4 minutes, making it an ideal supplement for sports such as rowing or middle distance running. Many athletes, power lifters and bodybuilders take Beta Alanine with Creatine/Citrulline Malate to improve power/muscular endurance.
We suggest Beta Alanine for individuals who partake in intense and high-energy sports. For example weight training, sprinting, boxing or stamina based exercise such as marathons.
