MyProtein Beta Alanine Amino Acid 250g

What is beta alanine?

Beta alanine is a non-essential amino acid and is the only naturally-occurring beta amino acid.

Beta alanine is different from most amino acids, as it is not used to synthesise proteins. Instead, it produces carnosine, which is stored in your skeletal muscles and reduces the build-up of lactic acid in your muscles during training.

What are non-essential amino acids?

The definition of non-essential comes from the fact that your body can produce these amino acids, and so they are considered non-essential to your diet.

Amino acids occur naturally in protein, which supports the growth and maintenance of your muscle mass1 — super important whatever your fitness goals.
