Beta Alanine-SR supports muscle capacity and fights muscle fatigue to benefit athletic performance.
Because acidity is a major contributor to muscle fatigue, the presence of carnosine helps maintain a normal pH in muscles by buffering the hydrogen ions created when muscles generate energy. Beta alanine, an amino acid, is required to create carnosine. Supplementing with beta alanine will support muscle health, muscle work capacity, and perceived time-to-exhaustion in anaerobic exercise that lasts 1-4 minutes and aerobic exercise that lasts longer than four minutes.
Carnosine's absorption is poor, and tends to be lower in females and in individuals who limit animal protein in their diet. Sustained-release beta-alanine supplementation, such as Thorne's Beta Alanine-SR, has been shown to increase carnosine concentrations in the muscle. Beta Alanine-SR is NSF Certified for Sport and the PureTab sustained-release delivery system minimizes tingling sensations and maximizes absorption.
