More About Beta Alanaine
Usually, your muscles will have higher levels of histidine and low levels of beta-alanine, which limits the production of carnosine within your body. Supplementing with beta-alanaine has been shown to increase carnosine levels in muscles by up to 80%, which helps massively during exercise. During exercise, carnosine helps to break down glucose which is the body’s main source of fuel during intense exercise as well as serving as a buffer against lactic acid build-up in your muscles.According to one study, six weeks of taking beta-alanine increased TTE by 19% during high-intensity interval training. Another study found 18 rowers who supplemented for seven weeks were 4.3 seconds faster than the placebo group in a 2,000M race over 6 minutes.Not only does beta alanaine help to enhance performance but according to animal and test-tube studies carnosine contains antioxidant, anti-ageing and immune-enhancing properties – this does, however, need more human studies before being confirmed. Antioxidants are used to help destroy and neutralise free-radicals within the body, reducing oxidative stress.
