Non-essential amino acid for improved performance and recovery
- promotes workout endurance
- increases strength and muscle mass
- improves body composition
When you exercise for a long time, your muscles become fatigued and the so-called acidification takes place. The moment of fatigue will happen in any case, but there is a way, or rather a substance that can delay it.
Beta-alanine and its sources
Beta alanine is a non-essential beta-amino acid. The body naturally produces it and makes enough of it for day-to-day life. Athletes take special interest in speeding this process up. You can either consume beta-alanine rich foods or take this amino-acid directly from a supplement. Beta-alanine rich foods include beef, chicken, turkey and fish.
Beta-alanine for better athletic performance
The main benefit of beta-alanine is to form – together with histidine – a complex called carnosine. It is carnosine that can regulate the pH, thus reducing the “muscle acidification”. The more you train the more carnosine you need. Beta-Alanine powder provides the body with an optimal beta-alanine dose in just one serving resulting in more carnosine for better work-outs. Carnosine improves endurance, especially in high-intensity exercises. This allows you to train longer and harder, to do more repetitions or more sets. In addition, Beta-Alanine powder can help to increase endurance during resistance training. As a result, the product can also help build muscle mass.
With all of the above benefits combined Beta-Alanine Powder can become both professional and casual athlete’s trusted companion.
Everything is connected
To gain muscle mass you need to workout a lot, to gain more muscle mass you need to workout more. To workout more you need to build up endurance, and to do that you need to train harder and longer. This is where amino acids – beta-alanine included – come in useful, distancing the point of fatigue and improving your workout performance.
Essential for the gym
Beta-alanine is a working supplement for anyone doing strength work because it can delay muscle failure. For better recovery, you can consider other amino acid supplements. When combined with beta-alanine they have a synergistic effect!

What does "muscle acidosis" mean?
During intense physical exercise, large amounts of glucose, the fuel for muscles, are consumed. Lactic acid is formed when glucose molecules are broken down. An increase in acidity negatively impacts muscle performance.
Can you get enough beta-alanine from food?
The recommended amount of beta-alanine varies depending on what is sufficient to achieve your goals. Various sources indicate between 0.5 g and 2 g of beta-alanine per 115 g serving of fish, chicken, turkey, and beef. If you don't consume any animal products, Beta-Alanine Powder is the best choice.
How does Beta-Alanine Powder help build lean muscle?
It's a simple formula that makes muscles grow: harder workouts + better nutrition. Beta-alanine influences the first component through the second. Beta-alanine makes harder workouts possible by extending the time you become too tired to continue training.
If beta-alanine is a compound of carnosine, why not just take it?
Our body breaks down everything we ingest into smaller components, including carnosine. It is broken down into beta-alanine and histidine. Carnosine is then formed again. However, our body doesn't need to break down beta-alanine—it can be absorbed as it is.
