B-Alanine

B-alanine is a non-essential amino acid. It can be synthesized by the body but is also found in foods. Taking a b-alanine supplement increases carnosine levels in muscle cells (preventing the decrease in pH in them) improving exercise efficiency, muscle stimulation and contraction by delaying the production of lactic acid and consequently muscle fatigue. The…
