β-Alanine is a non-protein amino acid precursor of carnosine, a dipeptide synthesized from β-Alanine and L-Histidine, which has been shown to buffer the pH of skeletal muscle, helping to delay onset of lactic acid-induced muscular acidosis. Several studies suggest that the continued intake of β-alanine allows an increase in the concentration of carnosine in the skeletal muscle. Furthermore, a positive correlation between the carnosine present in the muscle and some parameters used to measure physical performance at high intensity seems to be proven. Quality above all Alphazer relies exclusively on certified and accredited raw materials. For the BCAA line, the choice fell on raw materials from the Cambridge Commodities company. Grade A certified raw materials to the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 8 and produced in Informed-Sport registered facilities.
The raw material once it arrives in Italy is subjected to strict quality tests. The lots are sampled and tested to then proceed with the creation of the finished product according to regulations and production in Italian factories. In addition to analyzes on intolerances such as gluten and lactose. In the panorama of food supplements in the sports world, one of the most widespread and interesting, which research has had the opportunity to deepen and bring out its effectiveness is Beta-Alanine. When a certain intensity is reached with physical activity, there is an increase in hydrogen ions (H+) which tend to accumulate in the muscle cells, generating a decrease in the cellular pH, favoring a very "acid" environment, which comes to compromise the effectiveness of muscle contraction which becomes less and less efficient, favoring the onset of muscle fatigue up to the risk of compromising performance, or worse, of a competition. Once the non-essential amino acid β-alanine is introduced orally, it will be combined with L-histidine to synthesize a dipeptide which will be the real protagonist of the "buffer" effect on lactate, i.e. carnosine. In muscles, histidine levels are normally high and beta-alanine levels low, which limits carnosine production. Here the integration with Beta Alanine has been shown to raise the levels of carnosine in the muscles by 80%, and will act as a hydrogen ion neutralizing agent, i.e. it will reduce the accumulation of the annoying lactic acid in the muscles, significantly reducing the 'muscle fatigue, as well as being an excellent antioxidant against free radicals.
Carnosine if taken directly orally, would undergo significant degradation with poor bioavailability, therefore it is recommended to use its "precursor", Beta-alanine, for a truly effective yield. And established by research, ascertained by more and more athletes:..... it works! This translates into increased performance in terms of strength, for workouts aimed at body building, and is highly appreciated in sprint sports such as cycling, track and field athletics or crossfit, where it allows for greater performance in terms of performance, a greater contrast to fatigue and more resistence. Many consumers also report intense vasodilation, with the relative perception of greater muscle pumping if taken before training.
This is caused by the fact that canosine has an effect on the stimulation of nitric oxide synthesis. The fact is however, that it has been observed that the integration of Beta-Alanine in order to have "effective" concentrations, takes a relatively short time (about 2 weeks), and the greater effect of its integration, the athlete can appreciate after a longer period (between 4 and 10 weeks). *Taking excessive amounts of Beta Alanine can cause "paraesthesia", a sensation typically described as "pins and needles of the skin", particularly occurring on the face, neck and back of the hands, within minutes of ingestion.
