Beta Alanine 3.2 g
Brand: Bodybuilding.com Foundation Series
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active ingredient is CarnoSyn, a patented form of Beta Alanine. At the cellular level, Beta Alanine is a rate-limiting precursor to carnosine. Supplementing increases intramuscular carnosine concentrations. Carnosine acts as an intracellular buffer, binding to hydrogen ions (H+) produced during high-intensity exercise. By buffering H+, CarnoSyn helps maintain optimal muscle pH, delaying the acidic environment that causes fatigue and muscle failure.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Increased muscular endurance during high-intensity exercise
- Delayed onset of neuromuscular fatigue
- Support for optimal muscle pH levels
- Improved performance in repeated bouts of exercise
Usage & Safety
Mix 1 scoop (3.2g) with water daily. For best results, consume 20-30 minutes pre-workout. Consistency is key; intramuscular carnosine levels build over weeks. Splitting the dose (e.g., 1.6g twice daily) may reduce paresthesia (tingling). Consult a physician before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
