Searching for that one more rep? Beta Alanine is your answer. Undoubtedly the second most understood and evidence based supplement (after creatine), Beta Alanine has a direct effect on reducing muscular fatigue - which means one more rep, or one more set, better training performance, and in the long run, better gains. Beta Alanine is a common ingredient in all our favourite pre-workout products, but ATP Science has created the option of taking it separately. Therefore, take the dose you want, when you want and how you want. Love that for you legends!
- Proven to reduce muscular fatigue - Improves recovery through buffering of lactic acid (waste in your muscles) - High uptake and absorption rate by muscles - 100% natural and GMO free
As we mentioned above, when it comes to understanding supplements and having proven, science and evidence based theory to support the benefits and effects of the supplement, Beta Alanine really rates well. For years now, studies after studies have demonstrated that Beta Alanine has a real effect on the ability of muscles to perform better for longer. This happens through a chemical interaction, at the molecular level of the muscle, to remove the waste product of energy production within our muscle.
Just like Glutamine, Beta Alanine is a naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid in our body. Our system makes it, but only in smaller dosages that sometimes just don't provide quite enough for individuals heavily involved in training (like you guys, legends!). Therefore, supplementation is advantageous - we give our body a little helping hand to perform better. By supplementing Beta Alanine, our muscles are able to form higher concentrations of the compound Carnosine, which absorbs the hydrogen ions that are produced by our muscles as a by-product of utilising ATP (our muscle's unit of energy). This prevents and helps eliminate an excess of hydrogen ions - which cause fatigue and that burning feeling we know you get at the end of set.
Therefore, we feel less fatigue. With supplementation of Beta Alanine, each session, we can bust out an extra rep or two each set. Or we can run a little faster for a little longer. Or we can just feel better and recover faster. Over time we can increase our overall work capacity and workload - which in turns assists in stimulating increased muscular strength, power and size.
So above we mentioned that Carnosine is the magic compound that does the work when it comes to absorbing hydrogen ions and reducing fatigue. If you're one of the legends about to search "carnosine power" - here's the answer. We have done the research and come to the realisation that our body and muscles aren't very good or effective at absorbing straight carnosine. Therefore, supplementing this would be as good as useless. Beta Alanine, on the other hand is very well absorbed by the muscles, and is therefore much more effective when it comes to achieving the desired anti-fatigue effects!
