BETA-ALANINE - INCREASE YOUR MASS AND REDUCE SORE MUSCLES FEELING!

Lack of progress despite regular training and sore muscles are the struggle of today's athletes, both amateurs and professionals. Adequate supplementation will not only help you achieve your goals, such as lean muscle mass, but it will also improve your health. The remedy for lack of results and sore muscles is certainly beta-alanine. Due to its properties, beta-alanine supplementation is recommended in particular to people practicing such sports as martial arts, bodybuilding, rowing or running.

WHAT IS BETA-ALANINE?
 

Beta-alanine, in other words, 3-aminopropionic acid is one of the basic amino acids that plays a key role in a protein production. Beta-alanine primarily increases the level of carnosine in the muscles, ie a chemical compound whose aim is to inhibit the pH level associated with the formation of lactic acid in the muscle during training. Thus, the appropriate concentration of carnosine leads to maintaining the pH of the cells in the optimal range for a longer time, while reducing the susceptibility to fatigue. Beta-alanine is produced by synthesis and then transported to the cell membrane of muscle cells. Taken regularly, it prolongs training time, increases the intensity of training and reduces the feeling of tiredness. The conducted research has proved that beta-alanine can also alleviate the effects of PTSD, i.e. post-traumatic stress syndrome, as well as regularly used reduces stress and anxiety.
It should be noted, however, that the effects of using beta-alanine in the context of achieving the dream sport form are noticeable only after a longer period of supplementation, ie about 4-10 weeks, because only the period in this time range causes significant muscle saturation with this amino acid and optimal carnosine level increase. The benefits of long-term beta-alanine supplementation are noticeable for some time even after the end of amino acid intake.
 

WHERE TO FIND BETA-ALANINE?

Beta-alanine is a substance that can be delivered to the body not only by supplementation with tablets, but also can be found in some foods. A great supplier of beta-alanine is red and white meat, because 200 g of chicken breast or 150 g of turkey breast is identical to providing the body with 800 mg of beta-alanine in the form of supplementation. It should not be forgotten, however, that, as with any supplement, there is a risk of overdose, which can lead to undesirable and harmful effects, and therefore the recommended dose plays a very important role here. To achieve the best results, beta-alanine should be consumed before and after training, so as to inhibit the action of lactic acid produced during training, as well as accelerate the regeneration of muscles after the exercise. It is also worth noting that professional athletes combine beta-alanine supplementation with carbohydrates, because it accelerates the implementation of the intended effects, however, in principle beta-alanine can be combined with other dietary supplements or other compounds that positively affect the condition of the body.

BETA-ALANINE SIDE EFFECTS

After conducting clinical trials, it was unequivocally stated that beta-alanine supplementation does not cause any side effects, in particular undesirable side effects. It is therefore assumed that it is a health-safe dietary supplement, but it is worth noting that scientific research has not been taken into account and thus has not been diagnosed with the effects of beta-alanine for more than one year. However, it should be pointed out that beta-alanine has been classified by the AIS organization, whose role is to study dietary supplements for professional athletes as a substance with proven effectiveness that does not harm our health, but increases and improves the efficiency of the body. As the mantra, however, one can repeat the well-known saying of the German doctor and alchemist Paracelsus that “What is there that is not poison? All things are poison and nothing is without poison. Solely the dose determines that a thing is not a poison”, therefore, for safety reasons, do not exceed the recommended daily dose of beta-alanine, and above all use only the supplements made by proven producers.

It is worth noting, however, that it is strongly inadvisable to deliver beta-alanine to the body in a situation where we did not eat any food on an empty stomach, because it may cause general feeling of discomfort, tingling of the feet. paresthesia (which in the case of supplementation with beta-alanine it is the effect of stimulation of receptors under the skin and does not give rise to the adoption of more serious diseases) and stomach pain persisting even up to an hour after ingestion. However, it is impossible to determine the classical reaction of the organism to administered doses of beta-alanine, because it depends on many factors, including the previous level of carnosine in the body, individual differences, fitness level or dietary carnosine intake.

 

• Pure Powder
• Muscular Endurance*
• Delays Muscle Fatigue*

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that is used by muscle cells to synthesize carnosine.
Carnosine is a dipeptide (beta-alanine plus histidine) that functions as a buffer for the hydrogen ions (acid) produced during strenuous exercise, thus helping to maintain optimum muscular pH.
NOW Sports uses CarnoSyn®, a patented form of beta-alanine that has been clinically tested and shown to increase muscle carnosine content, allowing muscles to work harder and longer during intense exercise.
NOW® Sports Beta-Alanine is backed by scientific research demonstrating that CarnoSyn® supplementation results in delayed muscle fatigue and rapid recovery time, thereby helping you attain your strength and endurance training goals.*
