Description
Carnosine is a protein found in muscles, and plays a key role in maintaining acid-base balance in muscles by buffering hydrogen ions that are formed during intense exercise. Carnosine is composed of two amino acids: beta-alanine and histidine.
Supplementation with beta-alanine increases the concentration of carnosine in muscles, increasing their buffering capacity, delaying fatigue and improving performance.
USE OF BETA ALANINE SUPLEMENTATION
β-Alanine supplementation in the run-up to intensive training or before competitions where maximum performance is important.
- Exercises lasting between 30 seconds and 10 minutes (e.g., rowing, swimming, track cycling, middle-distance running)
- Repeated series of high-intensity efforts, including high-intensity interval training and resistance training
- High-intensity effort undertaken during or at the end of a prolonged effort (e.g., road cycling and long-distance running)
Long-term increases in muscle carnosine concentrations may contribute to an increase in buffering capacity in muscle or improvements in other intramuscular mechanisms (e.g., antioxidant activity), potentially enhancing training adaptations by increasing training capacity.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
Saturation: Taking 3.2g of beta alanine per day for 8 weeks
Dose maintenance: Taking 1.2-1.6g of beta alanine / day
