Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid. Your body uses it to produce carnosine, which helps improve exercise performance. By producing carnosine, it reduces the acidity in your muscles during high-intensity exercise.
Beta-alanine can help increase exercise volume, thus lead to increases in lean body mass.
In resistance training, it can boost training volume and reduce fatigue. It also benefits muscle function in older adults.
Carnosine also has antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties.
