What Does Beta Alanine Do? Will It increase Performance? | Nutritionist Explains... | Myprotein

Expert nutritionist explains what Beta-Alanine does and how it helps performance when exercising. In this video, Dr Richie Kirwan, a specialist in Nutrition, talks all about one of the most common ingredients in pre-workout mixes, beta-alanine. What it is, how it works, what it’s good for and how much is effective. Supplementing with beta alanine helps to increase carnosine synthesis and leads to higher carnosine levels in the muscles. In fact, supplementing with enough beta alanine for long enough (for example, 10 weeks) can lead to an 80% increase in muscle carnosine levels. So, not tried beta-alanine before or want to understand what it is? This is the video for you.
