Beta-Alanine Unflavored
Brand: Hard Rhino
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
At the cellular level, Beta-Alanine serves as a rate-limiting precursor to carnosine synthesis. When you exercise, hydrogen ions (H+) lower muscle pH, causing acidity and fatigue. By increasing intracellular carnosine stores, this supplement acts as a buffer, neutralizing H+ ions during high-intensity activity. This maintains optimal pH levels in muscle tissue, allowing your contractile proteins to function longer and delaying neuromuscular fatigue.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Increased muscular endurance during high-intensity exercise
- Delayed onset of muscle fatigue
- Improved performance in activities lasting 1 to 4 minutes
- Support for repeated bouts of maximal effort
Usage & Safety
Best practices: Mix 1 gram of powder with water or juice. For optimal absorption, take it with a meal or carbohydrate source. Consistency is key; daily intake is required to saturate muscle carnosine levels. Common safety interactions include tingling sensations (paresthesia), which are harmless but can be minimized by splitting the daily dose. Always consult a physician before use, especially if taking prescription medications.
