Pure Beta Alanine Powder - 100% Pure Amino Acid Endurance Training Fitness Muscle Strength Post Workout Pre Workout Fatigue Stamina

• WHAT IS BETA ALANINE? PURE Beta Alanine from the Giant Nutrition range is a high quality 100% pure beta alanine supplement. Beta-alanine is a type of amino acid that has been shown to improve workout performance and help build lean muscle. Beta-alanine is the amino acid most crucial to carnosine synthesis—one of the most important factors for reducing lactic acid build-up post workout. It is a versatile supplement that can be added to a variety of drinks, especially pre workout formulas.


• WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF BETA ALANINE? Beta Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that is used primarily as a pre-workout ingredient. Beta-alanine is produced naturally in the body. Beta-alanine aids in the production of carnosine. That's a compound that plays a role in muscle endurance in high-intensity exercise. It is ideal for a range of intense or explosive exercises. When Beta Alanine is combined with L-histidine, carnosine levels are increased in skeletal muscle.


• FOR ATHLETES: The use of Beta Alanine elevates the Carnosine concentration in muscles which means this is a perfect addition to your supplementation if you partake in sports requiring explosive action such as rugby, MMA, bodybuilding, weightlifting & football to name a few! Carnosine is responsible for buffering acid in the muscles, particularly in lactic acid which is a by-product of intense exercise. Carnosine has an ability to act as an intracellular antioxidant that can fight cellular fatigue.
• SHOULD I CYCLE BETA ALANINE? You may want to cycle your beta-alanine use. Cycling beta-alanine on a 10-12 weeks ON, 10-12 weeks OFF schedule works best for most athletes. 1:1 levels will drop after you stop supplementation, but they do not immediately drop back to pre-supplementation levels. To date, research suggests that beta-alanine requires a chronic loading dose of 4 to 6 g per day in divided doses of 2 g or less for at least two weeks (resulting in a 20-30% increase in muscle carnosine concentrations).


• IS BETA ALANINE A BCAA? The most notable difference is that Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid, while BCAAs are essential meaning you must obtain them through food or supplementation. Both Beta-alanine & BCAAs improve muscular endurance & workout volume, but what's interesting is the difference in how they improve endurance. You can stack BCCAs with creatine, but this should generally be short-term as your body already naturally produces creatine. Taking both supplements together means that you can combine the benefits of the two.
