Beta-Alanine

By increasing carnosine, Beta-Alanine helps to neutralize the hydrogen ions that accumulate during intense exercise, which are responsible for the 'burning' sensation and fatigue. This tangibly extends performance in activities lasting 1-4 minutes, such as interval training or high-rep weightlifting sets.

This allows for more repetitions and sustained effort during typical hypertrophy-focused training sets (e.g., 8-15 reps). The cumulative increase in training volume directly contributes to greater muscle gain.

Beta-Alanine combines with histidine in the body to form carnosine, which acts as a buffer against the pH drop that occurs during intense exercise. This delays the onset of muscular fatigue, allowing you to sustain a high level of performance for longer, completing more work in each session and thus providing a stronger signal for adaptation and growth.

Beta-Alanine combines with histidine to form carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine acts as a buffer against the hydrogen ions that accumulate during intense exercise, which cause the "burn" and muscular fatigue. By increasing endurance and time to exhaustion, it allows for greater work capacity and performance.
