The  CarnoSyn Advantage

As a pre-cursor to carnosine, beta-alanine is essential carnosine synthesis. Muscle carnosine is the major buffering agent, or neutralizer, of hydronium ions that lead to muscle fatigue and failure. By increasing the amount of carnosine in the muscle, CarnoSyn beta-alanine both increases an athlete’s peak performance and speeds muscle recovery.

The patented use of beta-alanine has resulted in a significant advancement in muscle performance technology. CarnoSyn beta-alanine has been proven effective in over 20 scientific studies, 15 of which have been published in peer-reviewed journals.

Delay muscular fatigue with BETA-ALANINE!

BETA-ALANINE is a non-essential amino acid that has been shown in research to increase muscular Carnosine concentrations. Carnosine is contained in both slow and fast twitch muscles fibers and is responsible for buffering the pH levels in your body. By promoting high intra-muscular Carnosine concentrations, BETA-ALANINE acts as a precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO) production and works to reduce intra-muscular acidification created by intense exercise and heavy training. In simple terms this means that BETA-ALANINE helps to buffer the pH levels in your muscles, preventing the acidity that occurs during exercise. A decrease in the pH balance or increase in muscular acidity leads to that muscle burn you’ll experience that often prevents gains. BETA-ALANINE provides the stimulus to push through this.

Smash through your training plateau!

But don’t just take our word for it! In a four-week study, subjects who consumed 4 to 6.4 grams of BETA-ALANINE significantly improved their exercise performance and power output over the placebo group. Researchers found that BETA-ALANINE also increased Carnosine’s ability to buffer lactic acid.

Furthermore, a 10-week study on the effects of BETA-ALANINE was conducted on football players. The results of this study showed that the group of players who supplemented with BETA-ALANINE plus creatine gained more muscle and lost more fat than the creatine or placebo group alone.

This non-essential amino acid increases the lactate threshold, which is the limiting factor in most training sessions. The build up of lactic acid often prevents you from reaching your strength goals, as your muscles begin to fatigue. With BETA-ALANINE, your training threshold is increased and your limitations can finally be broken down. BETA-ALANINE can help increase your training capacity, allowing you to train harder, stronger and longer than your last workout. Review your training log and you’ll be amazed by the difference this simple addition to your training routine can make. Push through every rep and increase that weight!

1. What is BETA-ALANINE?

BETA-ALANINE is a non-essential amino acid that has been shown in research to increase muscular Carnosine concentrations. By promoting high intra-muscular Carnosine concentrations, BETA-ALANINE acts as a precursor to Nitric Oxide (NO) production and works to reduce intra-muscular acidification created by intense exercise and heavy training. BETA-ALANINE delays muscular fatigue allowing you to increase your performance output.

2. How do I take BETA-ALANINE?

Research suggests that the effects of BETA-ALANINE are best experienced when it is spread out over four daily dosages. Dissolve 1.6 g ( ½ teaspoon) of BETA-ALANINE in juice or water at each dosage. However, some have found taking the full dosage 6.4 g (2 teaspoons) immediately before a workout resulted in the best gains.

3. Why can’t I just supplement with Carnosine?

You can, but believe or not, this is actually an inefficient way of raising Carnosine levels in your body.  Research has shown that supplementation with BETA-ALANINE actually leads to a greater increase of Carnosine in your body than it would with direct supplementation of Carnosine. Your stomach acids tend to break down Carnosine easier than BETA-ALANINE. Consequently, you would have to intake a lot more Carnosine (and pay a lot more) to experience the same results as you would with simply supplementing with BETA-ALANINE.

4. What is Carnosine?

Carnosine is contained in both slow and fast twitch muscles fibers and is responsible for keeping the pH in your body (on a cellular level) in check. When we exercise, the pH in our bodies becomes more acidic due to the build up of lactic acid, as more glucose is metabolized. If the lactic acid levels in our body become too high, our muscles cramp up. In order to work out longer and harder, we need to keep our bodies in that magic pH zone for longer durations and that’s where Carnosine comes into play. Having an abundance of Carnosine in your muscle fibers means you can fight off acidity in the body, leading to harder workouts and bigger gains.

5. How soon will I see results with BETA-ALANINE?

Those who use BETA-ALANINE should experience the effects the very first time they take it. The much-desired muscle pump or vasodilatation is experienced immediately. However, you should begin to experience results in your performance and overall physique within the first week or two of taking BETA-ALANINE.

6. Can I mix BETA-ALANINE with other supplements?

We recommend that you consume a high quality post-workout shake consisting of ISOFLEX protein after your workouts. If you’re trying to increase mass, combine BETA-ALANINE with our mass gainer QUICKMASS. The only supplement that you should not consume in conjunction with BETA-ALANINE is our pre-workout formula MUSCLEPRIME, as you would be consuming too much BETA-ALANINE at once.

7. Are there any side effects associated with BETA-ALANINE?

High dosages of BETA-ALANINE can create excessive sensory effects at the skin level in some users. Initiate use with half a single serving to assess your tolerance to ALLMAX BETA-ALANINE. As you become accustomed to the feeling, increase your dosage to 2 servings (6.4 g).

8. Who can take BETA-ALANINE?

If you’re a healthy individual who trains regularly, BETA-ALANINE is definitely for you. If you’re pregnant, under the age of 18, or breastfeeding you should not consume BETA-ALANINE. If you have any other health conditions, you should always consult your physician prior to starting any new supplement.

9. Is BETA-ALANINE legal?

Yes, BETA-ALANINE is legal. It’s a completely natural supplement.

10. Is BETA-ALANINE gluten-free?

Yes.

11. Is BETA-ALANINE suitable for vegans?

Yes.

12. Is BETA-ALANINE considered Kosher?

Yes.

13. Does BETA-ALANINE contain soy?

No.

14. Is BETA-ALANINE lactose-free?

Yes.
