Uses and synthesis of β-Alanine powder

β-Alanine is named beta-Alanine in English, also known as 3-amino-propionic acid, molecular formula is C3H7NO2, molecular weight is 89.09, CAS registration number is 107-95-9, β-Alanine is a white prismatic crystal, mainly used to synthesize pantothenic acid and calcium pantothenate, carnosine, pamidronate sodium, balsalazine, etc. It is widely used in medicine, feed, food and other fields. β-Alanine powder is a non-essential amino acid; it is the only naturally occurring β-amino acid. In nature, it can exist in free state in the root nodules of legumes, in tea leaves, brain hydrolysates of mammals, and in tobacco leaves and smoke. It usually works with histidine to produce carnosine, which is stored in our skeletal muscles.

How Carnosine Improves Athletic Performance?

Buffering muscle acidity and delaying fatigue (Muscle Buffer): During high-intensity exercise, muscles quickly break down glucose for energy, which will produce a large amount of lactic acid (more accurately, lactate ions and hydrogen ions H⁺). The accumulation of hydrogen ions will cause the pH value of muscles to decrease and the acidity of muscles to increase. Increased muscle acidity is one of the important factors leading to muscle fatigue and decreased athletic ability. Carnosine has a strong ability to buffer acidity. It can neutralize the hydrogen ions produced during exercise and delay the decrease in muscle pH, thereby helping to maintain the acid-base balance of muscles, ultimately delaying fatigue and improving athletic performance. This is the core mechanism of β-alanine to improve athletic performance, and it has also been widely confirmed by scientific research.

Antioxidant, protect muscle cells (Antioxidant): Carnosine also has a certain antioxidant effect, which can help remove free radicals produced during exercise and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to muscle cells. Oxidative stress is another important factor in muscle fatigue and damage. The antioxidant effect of carnosine helps protect muscle function.

Regulate calcium ions and enhance muscle function (Calcium Regulation): Studies have shown that carnosine may be involved in regulating the release and reuptake of calcium ions in muscle cells, which is essential for muscle contraction and relaxation. More effective calcium ion regulation may help improve muscle strength, explosive power and coordination.

Benefit of β-Alanine powder.

Potential Muscle Growth: While beta-alanine itself is not a direct muscle growth enhancer, it can indirectly promote muscle growth by significantly increasing training intensity and volume. Higher intensity training and greater training volume are key drivers of muscle growth. In addition, some studies have also shown that carnosine may have some muscle-protective effects, reducing muscle breakdown, thereby promoting net muscle growth.

Reduced Fatigue & Enhanced Performance: Beta-alanine's core role in buffering muscle acidity directly helps delay fatigue during exercise, allowing athletes to maintain higher exercise intensity for longer, thereby improving exercise performance overall. Both professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts can benefit from the anti-fatigue effects of beta-alanine.

Improved Muscle Function in Older Adults: Carnosine levels in muscles naturally decrease with age, which may be one of the reasons for the decline in muscle strength and function in older adults. Studies have shown that beta-alanine supplements may help improve muscle strength and function in older adults, and improve physical activity, such as walking speed and balance. However, this research is relatively new and more evidence is needed, but it shows the potential value of beta-alanine in the elderly population.

Production methodprocess of β-Alanine powder.

Acrylonitrile reacts with ammonia in diphenylamine and tert-butanol solution to form β-aminopropionitrile, which is then alkalized to obtain β-Alanine.
