Axe and Sledge – Beta-Alanine

ENHANCE MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

Beta-Alanine is a non-essential Amino Acid.

Unlike most Amino Acids, it is not used by your body to synthesise proteins, instead, together with Histidine, it produces an ingredient called Carnosine.

Carnosine is then stored in your skeletal muscle, which reduces Lactic Acid accumulation in your muscles during exercise this then leads to improved athletic performance.

In your muscles’ histidine levels are normally high BETA-ALANINE levels are low which limits the production of carnosine.

So how does carnosine act while you exercise?

First glucose is broken down in your body which is the main source of fuel during training. While exercising your muscles break down the glucose into lactate which produces hydrogen. When this happens your muscles become more acidic because hydrogen ions reduce your body’s ph levels. Once acidity sets into your muscle belly it blocks the glucose breakdown and the muscle begins fatigue. Since Beta-Alanine increases carsonine levels, it will help your muscles reduce their acid levels lessening overall fatigue.

Supplementing with Beta-Alanine may:

• Improve muscular endurance, strength and power
• Enhance focus and energy
• Promote recovery
• Increase lean body mass
