The production of energy needed to fuel movement and exercise results in free hydrogen ions, or acid. During exercise, our muscle acid levels increase and this causes a feeling of fatigue. Our body uses Beta alanine to make carnosine. It is carnosine that neutralises the acid that accumulates in muscles during exercise. Supplementing with Beta alanine increases our bodies natural carnosine production by 80%. These increased levels of carnosine allow us to exercise at our best. Specifically Beta alanine will increase the number of reps you are able to do near maximal effort.
