Description
What is Beta-Alanine Powder?
Beta-Alanine is a modified version of the non-essential amino acid Alanine. However, Beta-Alanine is one of the non-essential amino acids that the body does not use to synthesize protein; instead, it produces carnosine, which is then stored in skeletal muscles. However, Beta-Alanine is produced naturally by the body and is found in muscles and the brain. Beta-Alanine is also found in foods such as meat and fish. An increase in carnosine creates an increase in antioxidant activity as well as improved muscle production. 
Beta-Alanine Benefits may include:
- Enhanced Endurance†
- Decreased Muscle Fatigue†
- Improved Physical Performance†
How Does Beta-Alanine Powder Work?
Supplementing Beta-Alanine is believed to increase and store carnosine in skeletal muscles, helping to reduce acid levels within said muscles, then decreasing fatigue during exercise. Carnosine itself is a dipeptide; high amounts are commonly found in skeletal muscles and in both the brain and the heart muscle. The increase of carnosine through beta-alanine in the cells may protect against diet-induced drops of pH (which occurs from ketone production in ketosis), while also protecting the body from exercise-induced lactic acid production. During exercise, carnosine activates the process of Glycolysis, the process where glucose breaks down. The glucose that has broken down then turns into lactic acid, which subsequently produces hydrogen ions. This lactic acid production then causes muscles to become more acidic due to the hydrogen ions reducing the pH level in muscles. The onset of muscle fatigue begins as the acidity blocks the breakdown of glucose, which inhibits the muscle's ability to contract. Beta-Alanine works with carnosine to buffer against the lactic acid created as a result of Glycolysis.
Consider This:
Combine Muscle Empire’s Beta-Alanine and BCAA 2:1:1 for the ultimate muscle repair combo.

I can feel it.
I can’t say much for the long term effects, since I’ve just begun to use this brand of supplement. I can say that I do feel the tingle I have felt while using other pre-workout supplements. I like that I can get the benefit of beta alanine without having to consume the potentially insulin response causing artificial sweeteners, and other questionable junk that I have no use for.

Solid Supplement
I recommend this product from personal use. Understandably each person may have different reactions, me, personally have noticed that I feel better when training for longer periods of time. This is between Judo, Bjj and gym work and allows me to really expand all workouts
