In our third Nutrition X-Change, we've teamed up with not one but three experts in the fields of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science - Eimear Dolan, Joseph Matthews and Bryan Saunders- to look at the effects of supplementation with Beta-Alanine; a powerful amino acid that plays an important role in protecting against pH changes in skeletal muscle.
Studies show that supplementation with Beta-Alanine increases skeletal muscle carsonine content and, with it, the buffering capacity of the muscle, effectively helping to improve exercise performance; particularly when it comes to high-intensity efforts lasting between 30 seconds/ 10 minutes.
Our latest X-Change paper looks in detail at the effects of supplementation with this powerful amino acid, its benefits for athletes and ideal supplementation levels when it comes to improving exercise performance. Check it out via the button below.
