Beta Alanine: Creating a physiological environment to increase our ability to work harder for longer is our goal. The extent to which carnosine can delay acidosis (pH decline) is relative to its concentration in our muscles and this is where supplementation may play an important role. We sense fatigue when we exercise to the point where we feel the task requires greater effort than it should. Fortunately, certain sports supplements have anti-fatigue properties. For example, it’s crystal clear that muscle creatine phosphate depletion leads to fatigue and creatine supplementation can increase creatine phosphate concentration. Consequently, creatine supplementation improves maximal power/strength, work performed during sets of maximal effort muscle contractions, single-effort sprint performance and work performed during repetitive sprint performance.

We recommend using β-alanine along with L-Histidine which can be found in our store. >L-Histidine 250 Grams

Below is a scientific citation from a study as to the reasons.

β-alanine is the rate-limiting precursor of carnosine, which is to say carnosine levels are limited by the amount of available β-alanine. Supplementation with β-alanine has been shown to increase the concentration of carnosine in muscles, decrease fatigue in athletes and increase total muscular work done.[1][2]

Typically studies have used supplementing strategies of multiple doses of 400mg or 800mg, administered at regular intervals for up to eight hours, over periods ranging from 4 to 10 weeks (e.g. Harris et al., 2006; Hill et al., 2007). After 10 a 10 week supplementing strategy the reported increase in intramuscular carnosine content was an average of 80.1% (range 18 to 205%) (Hill et al., 2007).

L-histidine, with a pKa of 6.1 is a relatively weak buffer over the physiological intramuscular pH range. owever, when bound to other amino acids this increases nearer to 6.8-7.0. In particular, when bound to beta-alanine the pKa value is 6.83 (Bate-Smith, 1938), making this a very efficient intramuscular buffer. Further more because of the position of the beta amino group, beta-alanine dipeptides are not incorporated proteins and thus can be stored at relatively high concentrations (millimolar). Occuring at 17-25 mmol.kg (dry muscle) (Mannion et al., 1992), carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is an important intramuscular buffer, constituting 10-20% of the total buffering capacity in type I and II muscle fibres.

 

It’s also well established that carbohydrate ingestion during prolonged exercise can delay fatigue. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that traditional sports drinks containing only carbohydrates are old news, as recent studies show the addition of protein to a carbohydrate supplement enhances endurance performance above that which occurs with carbohydrate alone. There are also numerous studies indicating that caffeine and bicarbonate loading reduces fatigue. The latest addition to our arsenal appears to be β-alanine (Beta Alanine), a nonessential amino acid that’s found in many foods we eat. Recent preliminary reports suggest that beta alanine supplementation can increase muscle carnosine levels and exercise performance.

A double-blinded study by Dr. C.A. Hill and co-workers, presented at 2005 American College of Sports Medicine Annual Conference, examined the effects of Beta Alanine supplementation (four to 6.4 grams per day) on muscle carnosine levels and exercise performance in untrained subjects. Mean carnosine levels increased by 58 percent at week four and by an additional 15 percent at week 10. Also, the investigators noted a 16 percent increase in total work done during cycle ergometry at weeks four and In another study, presented at the 2005 International Society of Sports Nutrition Annual Conference, Dr. Jeff Stout and colleagues examined the effects of Beta Alanine supplementation (1.6 to 3.2 grams per day) on physical working capacity at fatigue threshold in untrained men. The authors reported a greater increase in fatigue threshold of nine percent over placebo (fake supplement), suggesting that Beta Alanine supplementation may delay the onset of neuromuscular fatigue.
