- Mechanism of Action
Beta-alanine is a non-proteogenic amino acid that's naturally produced in the body, and also found in foods such as certain meats and fish. It combines with the amino acid histidine to form a dipeptide called carnosine. Over time, carnosine buffers the pH decline that causes the onset of muscle fatigue and failure, while building endurance and improving recovery. pH buffering helps delay or even prevent muscular fatigue and it is critical for cells to function properly.. Beta-alanine is considered to be the ratelimiting step in muscle carnosine synthesis (Bauer & Sculz, 1994; Harris et al., 2006). Thus, the primary goal of beta-alanine supplementation is to increase carnosine content in the skeletal muscle thereby enhancing intracellular buffering capacity, enabling a greater tolerance of sustained anaerobic activity. Using beta-alanine supplements helps to enhance carnosine levels in the body by up to 80%.
- Benefits in Spotlight
- Athletic Performance
- By continuously increasing muscle carnosine through beta-alanine supplementation, CarnoSyn® supplementation led to an 80% muscle carnosine increase, after a 58.8% increase was observed at 4 weeks, exercise capacity is improved further in a consequence of muscle carnosine increase.
- Total Work Capacity
- A 28-day study demonstrated an increase of 14.5% in physical working capacity.
- Endurance Cyclists
- Cyclists saw an average increase of 11.4% in increased peak power output after 8 weeks.
- Professional Rowers
- Highly trained rowers improved their speed by 4.3 seconds over 2000m in a 7-week study.
- HIIT Athletes
- High intensity interval training (HIIT) athletes showed improved endurance performance and lean body mass during a 6-week trial.
- Competitive Sprinters
- Sprinters trained to compete in the 400-meter race saw increased levels of muscle carnosine and dynamic knee extension torque after a 4-week supplementation trial.
- Collegiate Football Players
- The combination of beta-alanine supplementation with creatine resulted in statistically significant strength increases for collegiate football players.
