Beta Alanine by Genetix Nutrition

Beta alanine

Beta alanine is an amino acid that is found naturally in the body. It is essential for the efficient working of muscles, as it reduces the acidity of muscles during and after exercise. It is not involved in the production of protein in the body. Beta alanine is used frequently by athletes to increase strength and endurance, improve energy and to reduce and delay muscle fatigue.

Beta alanine in the body

Beta alinine is naturally produced by the liver, although it is also gained by the body when it digests proteins. It is found within dipeptides, mainly carnosine, which is found in meat, however as it is produced by our liver, eating proteins is not necessarily the best way of getting beta alanine.

Beta alanine works by reducing the acidity levels in the muscles. During exercise, hydrogen ions are produced in the body, which causes a drop in pH; in other words, it creates an acid environment. This causes the muscle fatigue that is experienced during a workout – burning muscles, and a sensation of increasing weakness. Beta alanine absorbs the hydrogen ions, reducing acidity and increasing the muscles’ ability to continue working.

Beta alanine and the athlete

Beta alanine can be a useful supplement for reducing muscle fatigue, improving endurance and improving strength and fitness by reducing muscle acidity in exercise. It is thought to be safe, but your doctor should always be consulted before beginning any supplement program, and this supplement should not be taken by pregnant or lactating women.
