Beta Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that’s received a lot of attention in recent years in sports science journals as it’s been shown to buffer lactic acid and reduce fatigue. This is because studies have shown it helps to form, and increase, carnosine concentrations in the body and the muscles which according to a study published in the Journal of Japanese physiology “It has been shown that people whose muscle carnosine was high could exhibit high power during the latter half of the 30 second maximal cycle ergometer sprinting. These results suggested that the muscle carnosine concentration could be one of the important factors determining high-intensity exercise performance.” (Y Suzuki et al 2002.)
