AXE & SLEDGE BETA ALANINE

Enhance Muscular Endurance With Beta-Alanine Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that’s naturally produced by the body and found in some foods, such as fish, poultry, and meat. Unlike most amino acids, beta-alanine is not used for protein synthesis. Instead, it’s used alongside histidine to create carnosine — a dipeptide molecule that’s highly concentrated in skeletal muscle. Carnosine is a powerful lactic acid buffer, meaning that it helps reduce lactic acid levels. Lactic acid is a metabolic by-product that’s produced from the energy systems during the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). If you’ve even exercised to fatigue and felt a burning sensation in your muscles, that’s a result of lactic acid build-up. Not only is lactic acid build-up uncomfortable, but it also significantly reduces your body’s ability to regenerate cellular energy that’s required for maximal performance. So keeping lactic acid levels low for as long as possible can boost exercise performance, es
