Beta-Alanine by HSNraw is a product that is made of 100% beta-alanine and nothing else. Exactly what you were looking for to improve your sport performance. Powder format for an easier dosing, ideal to come up with your own pre-workout combos.
Beta-alanine is an amino acid that binds to the histidine in the muscle tissue in order to form carnosine. Carnosine is a peptide that works as an intracellular buffer. In other words, it avoids pH alterations that can make us stop during the workout because our muscles 'burn'.
Beta-alanine belongs to the group of highly effective food supplements according to the positioning of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, published in 2018.
Beta-alanine has proven many times that it is effective when it comes to increasing the muscle tissue carnosine concentrations (Perim et al., 2019).
Beta-alanine has the highest level of evidence when it comes to improving the sport performance during high intensity and medium duration physical exercise. The clearest proof of this is that Crossfitters are the ones that will benefit the most from this product. Although runners who compete in speed races (400m), tennis players, collective sports with an intermittent intensity or even gym users who use giant sets, super sets, circuits... All of them can take advantage of the benefits of beta-alanine supplementation.
While obtaining energy without oxygen (high intensity workouts), the body produces hydron compounds, which are particles with an electric charge that accumulate in the cells. Their accumulation affects the pH and it is what makes us stop, since a very low pH can affect the muscle function and produces that “burning sensation” in the muscle.
Carnosine is an intracellular buffer that controls the hydron compounds that are released during this process thanks to its structure. Therefore, it delays the onset of fatigue during intense physical exercise (Derave et al., 2010).
In the positioning of the International Society of Sports Nutrition about beta-alanine, Trexler et al. (2015) concluded that:
'When it lasts more than 60 seconds, being more effective at the beginning and at the end, as well as the time until we become exhausted', which can increase between a 8-15% in Athletics.
'These tasks require the collaboration of aerobic energy systems,' reaching a 13-14% in cycling competitions.
In addition, Trexler et al. (2015) also reached the conclusion that beta-alanine also has other positive when it comes to:
Currently, beta-alanine is one of the supplements with the highest level of evidence about its effects on the sport performance.
Those athletes who do activities that last between 4’30” and 6’ are the ones that will benefit the most from taking beta-alanine.
From HSN, we bring you beta-alanine of the highest quality and purity, the same as the one used in clinical trials that have proven its efficacy, so that you will benefit from all its effects.
You can take beta-alanine at any time of the day, although we suggest distributing the daily dose in several servings of 2 grams in order to avoid activating a subcutaneous receptor that causes a paresthesia or 'itchiness'.
It is a completely harmless symptom that will not compromise your health, although some people find it quite unpleasant. The effect will disappear around 30 minutes after taking it.
Mix two grams in 100ml of water or juice and drink twice a day. Take it for 4 weeks at least in order to experience its effects. The chronic intake of beta-alanine is safe and you do not have to stop taking it at any time.
Beta-alanine has a synergistic effect with creatine monohydrate, specially in strength sports.

Excellent pre-workout
Billy, 21/03/2018
It works well as a pre-workout shake, I like to combine it with creatine and citrulline. It increases stamina during the workout session which allows to increase the number of sets progressively
Good supplement

The itchiness is part of the process, I would reduce the dose if it became unbearable, although I've never reached that point. Otherwise it is a good supplement.
Good product, not my format
Kim, 15/03/2018
I have noticed that I recover successfully between sets, which directly results in a better performance. Although I personally do not like this format, I think I'll stick to capsules.
