Beta Alanine For Strength, Muscle & Fat Loss

http://professionalwhey.com How Does Beta Alanine Work?

Most of the evidence of the effectiveness of Beta-Alanine is quite recent, and the mechanism by which it helps athletes is supposed to work by converting Beta Alanine into the amino acid carnosine in the muscles. Muscles with higher carnosine levels can contract harder for longer and produce greater force, leading to better muscular endurance and performance.[2]

Carnosine works as buffering agent, reducing the amount of chemical by-products during intense exercise, such as lactic acid in your muscles.[3] Not to be confused with bicarbonate of soda which buffers lactic acid in the bloodstream, Beta Alanine serves as an intramuscular buffer, allowing you to do more.[4] Studies have shown Beta Alanine supplementation can increase intramuscular carnosine levels by up to 64%.[5],[6]


What does that mean? You exercise with less fatigue.
How? It buffers the acidity in the muscle.

Very Different to Creatine
So if its the next creatine, does that mean thats the end for creatine? No! Beta Alanine and creatine work very differently. Creatine provides a source of energy to muscle. Beta Alanine is a precursor of another compound - carnosine found in muscle - that buffers acidity and prolongs training.[7] However they can work synergistically and evidence points us to believe that creatine works better for the 1-6 rep range whilst Beta Alanine works better in the 7-12 rep range.




The Evidence

Most of the research available agrees that muscle carnosine synthesis is limited by the availability of Beta-Alanine.[8],[9] Therefore fatigue kicks in when carnosine levels are low.

Researchers in 2008 observed Beta Alanine supplementation in 8 male experienced weight trainees taking 4.8 gm per day for 30 days on resistance exercise performance.[10] Their resistance exercise protocol consisted of 6 sets of 12 repetitions of the squat exercise at 70% of their one-repetition maximum (1-RM) with 1.5 minutes of rest between each set. After 4 weeks, the Beta-Alanine group was able to perform 22% more total repetitions.[11]

There is also evidence that Beta Alanine effects slow twitch muscle fibres as well as fast twitch fibres and therefore helps endurance athletes. Two recent studies found that cyclists who supplemented with Beta-Alanine were able to get 13% more total work done after 4 weeks, and 16% more after 10 weeks compared to a group who didnt use Beta-Alanine.[12],[13]
