Product Launch - U Beta-Alanine

The role of Carnosine is to neutralize lactic acid and maintain the correct pH balance in muscle cells. Supplementation of Beta-Alanine increases the levels of Carnosine, allowing the cells to better manage and neutralize more of the acidic environment that arises during intense work, enabling you to perform slightly better during threshold workouts and intervals where an acidic environment occurs.

A larger Meta-Analysis compiled the effects of Beta-Alanine on athletic performance, with an average improvement of 2.85% at an average intake of 179g. Participants consumed Beta-Alanine for a period ranging from 3 weeks up to 3 months. Various protocols showed that it seems to matter little whether you take it all in a shorter time or spread it out over a longer period, as long as the total intake is sufficiently high.

Performance increases ranged from -0.3% up to just over 10%. So some experienced no effect at all, or even a slight negative effect, while others gained significant effects in percentage terms. A reasonable expectation is likely in the range of a 1-5% increase in effect for most during intervals lasting from 1 minute to 8 minutes per interval. This seems to be where Beta-Alanine is most beneficial (see image below).

Research has shown that a total intake of between 150-200g is necessary to maximize the levels of Carnosine in the cells and thus provide optimal conditions for intense work. Once you have taken this amount, a maintenance dose of 3-5g/week is sufficient to maintain the optimal level year-round. The breakdown rate is about 2% per week, which corresponds to approximately 4g per week. With this in mind, we have chosen to fill 200g U Beta Alanine in a jar, which is enough for optimal loading. Neither more nor less; if the jar is empty, you are fully loaded.

Once you are maximally loaded, a maintenance dose of 3-5g/week is enough. This corresponds, for example, to 1 dose of U Intend (3g Beta-Alanine per dose) per week to maintain levels year-round so you are always optimally ready for an intense interval or threshold session. If you do not use caffeine products like U Intend, then you only take 1 scoop of U Beta-Alanine (5g) per week.

Beta-Alanine is one of "The Big 5". That is, one of the five supplements that science agrees on provides a performance-enhancing effect and is worth investing in if you want to perform. In addition to Beta-Alanine, these are Creatine, Caffeine, Bicarbonate, and Nitrate.

Follow the dosage instructions on the jar, perform your intense sessions, and tag for a new level in the body with an enhanced effect register.
