BETA- ALANINE

BETA- ALANINE

As your Portland personal trainer you will learn about Beta- alanine which is an amino acid that is not involved in synthesizing proteins, but it plays a role in processes that aid high intensity training. In skeletal muscle, beta alanine and histidine form carnosine. So when beta alanine is supplemented, it elevates the bodys muscle carnosine levels. Proper beta alanine dosing can increase muscle carnosine levels by more than 60 percent in just 4 weeks. For best results take 2-3 grams of beta alanine 30 minutes before training and immediately again after training. If you are looking to for an extra strength boost take 2-5 grams of creatine monohydrate with both doses of beta alanine.
