U Beta-Alanine

Product description

Beta-Alanine is an amino acid essential for maintaining Carnosine levels in the muscles. Beta-Alanine combines with Histidine in our muscle cells to form Carnosine. Histidine is abundant in cells, so it is not a limiting factor, but Beta-Alanine is limiting, and supplementation of Beta-Alanine increases the levels of Carnosine in muscle cells.

Carnosine's role is to buffer lactic acid (hydrogen ions) and maintain a normal pH balance in muscle cells. Supplementing with Beta-Alanine increases the levels of Carnosine, allowing the cells to handle and neutralize the acid that occurs during intense work.

Dosage

Research has shown that a total intake of between 150-200g spread over 30-45 days (approximately 5g/day) is needed to maximize the levels of Carnosine in the cells. Once you've ingested this amount, a maintenance dose of 3-5g/week is needed to maintain the optimum level throughout the year. With this in mind, we have chosen to fill 200g of U Beta Alanine in a container, which is enough for an optimal loading phase + a few months of maintenance. Mix U Beta-Alanine in any amount of liquid and drink. Mix the powder in a regular glass of water or drop a scoop into another beverage you're already drinking (e.g., sports drink or similar).

Once you're fully loaded, 1 dose of U Intend or 1 teaspoon of Beta-Alanine per week is sufficient to maintain the levels throughout the year, so you're always ready for a great interval or threshold session.
