Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that's important for producing carnosine, a compound that helps buffer acid in muscles during high-intensity exercise. By reducing acid buildup, beta-alanine can enhance athletic performance, delay fatigue, and improve endurance. It’s commonly found in dietary supplements and is often used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Research suggests that regular supplementation can lead to increased muscle carnosine levels, which may enhance workout capacity and overall performance. While it’s generally considered safe, some users may experience a harmless tingling sensation, known as paresthesia, when taking it in higher doses.
