Beta Alanine Powder

Beta Alanine Powder NZ Overview.

Beta alanine is an amino acid often found in pre-workout supplements and intra-workout formulas. It is classed as a non-essential amino acid (because the body can create it) but it’s still a very common to take a beta alanine powder supplement in order to make the most of everything this amino acid can offer the body at a precise timing, such as during training or events.

Beta-alanine works to combine with l-histidine in the body to form carnosine which is then concentrated within muscle tissue. A high concentration of carnosine in the muscles can boost muscular endurance, helping your muscle tissue work harder and for a longer time period. Carnosine (created by beta alanine) has also been shown to buffer lactic acid build up, warding off fatigue and soreness, this may benefit athletes and hardworking gym bodies.

Some people find that taking beta alanine powder, either as a single supplement or as an ingredient within a pre-workout or intra-workout, can cause a tingling feeling and mild redness (this is often felt on the scalp and hairline). This is completely normal and to be expected. It is not harmful and is a natural response by the body to beta alanine powder supplementation.

Beta-alanine is a popular ingredient in pre-workout and intra (during) workout supplements. It will give you an enhanced sense of energy, mental focus and drive, enabling you to train for longer, lift heavier or attack your training with more intensity. It boosts muscular endurance and buffers lactic acid, helping you to feel less tired and sore between events and workouts.
