Beta-alanine is the building block of carnosine, a molecule that helps buffer acid in muscles. Supplementation improves performance during high-intensity exercise lasting from 1 to 10 minutes (Saunders et al. 2017). Carnosine also appears to be an antioxidant and may be anti-ageing (Boldyrev et al. 2013).

Frequently asked questions
What does Beta-Alanine do?
Once beta-alanine is ingested, it builds carnosine molecules, which acts as an acid buffer in the body. Carnosine is stored in cells and released in response to drops in pH (Trexler et al. 2015). During intense exercise, carnosine binds to hydrogen ions (H+) to maintain a healthy pH balance, allowing for a longer duration of exercise at higher intensity (Trexler et al. 2015 & Hobson et al. 2012).
Is Beta-Alanine safe?
Yes, Beta-Alanine is considered safe in healthy populations by the International Society of Sports Nutrition and the Australian Institute of Sports with strong scientific evidence (de Oliveria et al. 2023)!
We recommend using the outlined daily dose (3 grams/day). Side effects such as paresthesia (tingling sensation) may be experienced and whilst some find this uncomfortable, it poses no health risks (de Oliveria et al. 2023).
How do I use it?
We recommend consuming 3 grams of Beta-Alanine daily. This can be taken in a single dose or over the day. Timing of consumption is not critical. Yes, this product is great for women as well (de Guingand et al. 2020)!
The tingling is uncomfortable, what can I do?
Paresthesia can last from 30-60 minutes after consumption of Beta-Alanine. To lessen this, we recommend splitting doses across the day and increasing water consumption (de Oliveria et al. 2023). Additionally, commencing exercise sooner can often help.
