Description
Beta-alanine raises muscle carnosine, and carnosine buffers the hydrogen ions that build up during hard training. Those ions cause the burn that forces you to stop — so buffering them directly extends how long you can hold high-intensity output.
The dose matters here. Research supporting beta-alanine typically uses 3-6g daily, and plenty of products contain a fraction of that. Applied Nutrition provide 3000mg per serving, at the bottom of the effective range and easy to scale up.
What beta-alanine does:
- 3000mg per serving — a research-consistent dose
- Raises muscle carnosine for acid buffering
- Extends endurance in efforts lasting 60 seconds to 4 minutes
- Supports higher training volume and more quality reps
- 300g tub from Applied Nutrition
Take 3g daily. The tingling sensation (paraesthesia) is harmless and fades with continued use — split the dose if it bothers you. Benefits build over about 4 weeks as carnosine levels rise.
