BETA ALANINE

Highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues, the carnosine peptide prevents the buildup of hydrogen ions (H+) – the precursor to lactic acid – during high-intensity exercise. When high levels of H+ are present in your cells, your pH levels are lowered and your body becomes overly acidic. To compensate, your muscles begin to increase lactic acid production to remove H+ and return to natural pH levels(lactic acid uses H+ when forming). When H+ and/or lactic acid levels increase, exhaustion and fatigue set in quickly – no matter if you’re lifting weights or running a marathon.*

Beta-Alanine increases your ability to train long and harder by preventing the build up of H+ and the lactic acid byproduct – increasing the amount of strenuous exercise you can perform and helping to extend the amount of time you can workout before you feel the “burn”.*
