Alanine Beta

Description

What is Alanine Beta?

Alanine beta is a nonproteogenic amino acid that combines with histidine to form a dipeptide molecule known as carnosine. Carnosine is an H+ buffer that is especially useful in preventing the decline in muscle pH during high-intensity exercise. 

Alanine beta has been shown to be the rate-limiting precursor of carnosine formation, and therefore supplementation with best beta alanine increases muscle carnosine. Best beta alanine has ergogenic effects on exercise performance, specifically in high-intensity events for 1–4 min. However, carnosine has been suggested to have various other roles in the body, including acting as an antioxidant, antiglycating agent, and ion chelator, which may have significant effects on aging and other health benefits.

Alanine Beta Benefits:            

1. IT MAY HELP YOU EXERCISE LONGER BEFORE GETTING TIRED

A 2015 study found that cyclists who took daily best beta alanine for 10 weeks were able to work 13% more than those who took the placebo. This was replicated in another study where 20 male cyclists were able to increase their “time to exhaustion” by 13% or more after a month of taking beta-alanine daily.

2. IT COULD INCREASE YOUR EFFORT IN SHORT, HIGH-INTENSITY EXERCISE

Muscle acidosis (the process where glucose is broken down into lactic acid) doesn’t just limit the amount of time one can do a high-intensity activity, but it can impact how hard you go in the moment. This is especially relevant in endurance activities as well as challenging short-duration exercises like HIIT or Crossfit.

In a study done on the impact of beta-alanine on high-intensity interval training, researchers found that taking beta-alanine supplements for 6 weeks improved the TTE for participants by 19%. Another study done on rowers found that 7 weeks of beta-alanine supplementation was linked to faster speeds in 2,000-meter races.

3. IT MAY HELP INCREASE MUSCLE ENDURANCE SPECIFICALLY IN PEOPLE OVER 55+

Alanine beta may benefit those who are aged 55+ by increasing muscle endurance, which can help our fit friends with their training goals. But it also has quality-of-life applications that last well beyond your training years.

By improving muscle endurance, older adults may be able to reduce the risk of falls and increase their capacity for independent living. A double-blind randomized study on adults ages 55-92, researchers found that beta-alanine supplementation was associated with the delayed onset of neuromuscular fatigue in older men and women.

Plus, when taken with protein, you’ll experience that you stay full longer, aiding in any weight loss efforts you may have this year.

4. alanine beta MAY HELP YOU BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS

In a double-blind trial, 46 men were assessed for peak O2 utilization, time to exhaustion, ventilatory threshold, and total work done. Half of the group was then given either 1.5 grams of beta alanine or a placebo four times a day for 21 days. They were also asked to participate in a 6 week routine of HIIT workouts. Not surprisingly, the researchers observed significant improvements in all the participants in the areas measured. But there was an additional improved lean body mass in those taking the beta-alanine.

5. THERE COULD BE POSSIBLE ANTIOXIDANT, ANTI-AGING PROPERTIES

You may not be taking a workout supplement to look younger, but if it happened, it wouldn’t hurt, right? Consider this just one more positive beta-alanine effect.
