Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid that plays a key role in producing carnosine within the muscles. Carnosine helps buffer acid build-up during intense exercise, which is often responsible for that burning sensation and early fatigue. By increasing muscle carnosine levels, beta-alanine supplementation can help improve performance in high-intensity efforts lasting between 1 and 10 minutes.

This makes it a strong choice for athletes involved in sprinting, functional fitness, strength training, rowing, or repeated race pace efforts. As part of a ‘Manage your Dosage’ approach, it allows you to personalise your supplement stack based on your training demands. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and halal certified, it fits easily into a wide range of performance-focused lifestyles.

During intense exercise, hydrogen ions build up in the muscles, lowering pH levels and contributing to fatigue. Beta-alanine increases the body’s production of carnosine, which acts as an intracellular buffer. This helps stabilise muscle pH, allowing you to sustain power and effort for longer before fatigue sets in.

With consistent daily use, muscle carnosine stores gradually rise, supporting improved performance in repeated high-intensity efforts. Over time, this can translate into greater training volume, better sprint capacity, and improved overall muscular endurance.
