Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that can delay muscle fatigue and increase endurance and strength. In the body, beta-alanine increases the level of L-carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine helps muscles soak up excess hydrogen ions released during intense exercise, which make muscles more acidic and contribute to muscular fatigue and decreased strength. Taking a beta-alanine muscle buffering formula before workouts can help you work out harder with less fatigue so you grow stronger, faster.
