Beta-Alanine by Alphazer®: Enhancing Muscle Performance

Overview: Beta-Alanine is a non-protein amino acid that serves as a precursor to carnosine, a dipeptide known for its ability to buffer pH in skeletal muscles. This buffering action helps delay the onset of muscle acidosis induced by lactic acid during intense physical activity.

Mechanism of Action:

• Hydrogen ions (H+) accumulate in muscle cells during high-intensity physical activity, leading to a decrease in cellular pH.
• Beta-Alanine, when combined with L-Histidine, forms carnosine, which acts as a buffer against hydrogen ions, preventing the acidic environment that compromises muscle contraction efficiency.

Quality Assurance by Alphazer®:

• Alphazer® prioritizes certified and accredited raw materials, choosing raw materials from Cambridge Commodities for the BCAA line.
• Raw materials are certified grade A for the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 8 and produced in facilities registered by Informed-Sport.
• Rigorous quality tests are conducted on raw materials upon arrival in Italy, including analyses for intolerances such as gluten and lactose.

Effectiveness and Research:

• Beta-Alanine supplementation has been extensively researched, showing that it can increase carnosine levels in muscles by 80%.
• Carnosine acts as a hydrogen ion neutralizer, reducing the accumulation of lactic acid, decreasing muscle fatigue, and serving as an antioxidant against free radicals.
• Carnosine’s direct oral intake is less effective due to poor bioavailability, making Beta-Alanine a preferred precursor for optimal results.

Benefits for Athletes:

• Increased strength performance in bodybuilding workouts.
• Popular in sprinting sports (cycling, athletics, crossfit) for enhanced performance, greater fatigue resistance, and improved endurance.
• Users report intense vasodilation, leading to increased muscle pumping when taken before training.
• Carnosine’s effect on stimulating nitric oxide synthesis contributes to vasodilation.

Usage Guidelines:

• Beta-Alanine supplementation requires a relatively short time (approximately 2 weeks) for effective concentrations.
• The greatest effects are appreciated after a longer period (between 4 and 10 weeks) of consistent supplementation.

Note on Paresthesia:

• Excessive Beta-Alanine intake may cause “paresthesia,” a tingling sensation on the face, neck, and back of the hands. This sensation typically occurs shortly after ingestion.

In summary, Beta-Alanine by Alphazer® is a well-researched and quality-assured dietary supplement designed to enhance muscle performance, delay muscle fatigue, and support athletes engaged in high-intensity physical activities. Users may experience improved strength, endurance, and vasodilation benefits with consistent and appropriate supplementation.
