Foundry Industries - Pure Beta Alanine

• 500g Beta alanine per bag.

Beta-alanine has become increasingly popular in recent years as a sports supplement due to its ability to improve athletic performance and endurance.

One of the main benefits of beta-alanine is its ability to increase levels of carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine is a dipeptide molecule that is made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine, and it plays an important role in muscle function.

How beta alanine supports muscle endurance

When muscles are working hard, they produce large amounts of hydrogen ions, which can cause the pH of the muscle tissue to drop. This drop in pH can lead to muscle fatigue and decreased athletic performance. However, carnosine acts as a buffer in the muscles, helping to maintain the pH balance and allowing the muscles to work harder and for longer periods of time.

By increasing levels of carnosine in the muscle, beta-alanine can help to improve athletic performance and delay the onset of muscle fatigue. Studies have shown that supplementing with beta-alanine can increase muscle carnosine levels by up to 80%, leading to improvements in power output, muscular endurance, and overall exercise performance.

What's the beta alanine tingling and pins and needles?

It is important to note that beta-alanine can cause a harmless, but sometimes uncomfortable, side effect known as paresthesia. This is a tingling sensation that is often felt in the face and hands and is caused by the rapid absorption of beta-alanine into the bloodstream. This sensation typically lasts for 15-20 minutes and is not harmful, but some individuals may find it unpleasant.

Recommended Use

Beta-alanine has most often been used orally by adults in doses of 1.6-6.4 grams daily for up to 12 weeks. We generally recommend the 3g to 4g range.
