Beta alanine is a non-essential amino acid produced mainly by synthetic and fermentation processes. Beta-alanine has specific physiological functions in the human body. It is a precursor for the synthesis of a compound called myostatin in muscle tissue. Myostatin is associated with muscle buffering, which helps to relieve muscle fatigue during high-intensity exercise and delays the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles, thus improving athletic endurance and performance. Its unique functionality has made it popular in the sports nutrition and fitness supplement market.
