DESCRIPTION What is Pure Nutrition Beta-Alanine? Pure Nutrition Beta-Alanine features 2,000 milligrams/mg of pure beta-alanine in every serving, with absolutely no artificial colors or fillers. Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid and the only naturally occurring beta-amino acid (all others are alpha-amino acids).    This time-tested sports supplement has been shown to increase strength, endurance, and performance in the gym.1 Push beyond your limits starting from the very first dose.    In addition, Beta-alanine has synergistic effects with a variety of other ingredients, making it the perfect complement to virtually any preworkout supplement! Pure Nutrition Beta-Alanine is naturally tasteless and mixes easily in water or juice. Benefits of Pure Nutrition Beta-Alanine Beta-Alanine is a beta-amino acid (meaning the amino group is bonded to the beta carbon instead of the alpha carbon. This non-essential amino acid is unique in that rather than participating in protein synthesis, it’s incorporated (along with L-histidine) into a dipeptide known as carnosine which helps control muscle pH.    Beta-alanine is the rate-limiting factor in muscle carnosine synthesis, whereas L-histidine is typically readily available. Hence, supplementing with beta-alanine supports greater muscle carnosine production and bolsters athletic performance by buffering the pH in muscle tissue.    Similar to creatine, beta-alanine has been shown in a multitude of studies to significantly enhance athletic performance, boost stamina, increase strength, and reduce fatigue.2,3  Primary Benefits of Beta-Alanine Supplementation: • Increases intramuscular carnosine content • Delays onset of muscular fatigue  • Increases capability of muscles to perform work, which subsequently supports muscle anabolism  • Promotes vasodilation/pumps since carnosine generates nitric oxide (NO) synthase, the enzyme necessary for NO production What Makes Pure Nutrition Beta-Alanine the Best Beta-Alanine Powder on the Market? All Pure Nutrition supplements are produced in a state-of-the-art facility that is cGMP-certified. This guarantees that users are getting nothing but the purest, safest and highest quality beta-alanine powder on the market, with absolutely no fillers or synthetic junk.  References 1. Kern, B.

Do not exceed the recommended dose.    Note: During the first few weeks of beta-alanine supplementation, you may experience transient paraesthesia, a harmless, temporary tingling sensation under the skin. In most cases, this sensation passes within 30 minutes. As the body adapts, the tingling sensation becomes less noticeable or subsides completely.  References
