Beta Alanine, What's that?

Beta-alanine is an altered version of the amino acid alanine.

What does it do?

“When beta-alanine is ingested, it turns into the molecule carnosine, which acts as an acid buffer in the body. Carnosine is stored in cells and released in response to drops in pH. Increased stores of carnosine can protect against diet-induced drops in pH (which might occur from ketone production in ketosis, for example), as well as offer protection from exercise-induced lactic acid production.” -Examine.com

This basically means a small increase in strength-endurance. Lets say you can normally get 8 reps with a certain weight. Depending on the person, you may be able to squeeze out another 2-4 reps with this supplement. What does that mean? Increase in performance.

Over the course of a training cycle however, this will boost your ability to lift more weight for more reps, which will equal into building muscle and losing fat, making this an Aesthetics supplement as well.
