What Wednesday: What is Beta-Alanine

When our bodies go through strenuous activities, your muscles get put to work. Sometimes, the muscles become sluggish due to the lactic acid build up. This acidic build up limits endurance and sacrifices strength. Introducing Beta-Alanine: the buffer to lactic acid build up. 

Beta Alanine prevents the drop in acid levels within our muscles by increasing the amount of Carnosine (amino acid). Beta Alanine is so effective that it can increase the amount of Carnosine by 65%. 

The result of this will allow your body to workout more effectively, longer, and push your muscles further. The more you are able to workout, the more results you will get in the gym.

In a 10 week study, researchers found that Beta-Alanine increased strength. Beta-Alanine has increased a one-rep max in bench press by over 30 pounds and a one-rep squat max by roughly 50 pounds. Other studies have shown Beta-Alanine increases power output by over 40%.

This is why Beta-Alanine is commonly found in pre workouts.
