About this supplement
Carnosyn is a patented form of beta-alanine, a non-essential amino acid that is a precursor to carnosine, which is found in high concentrations in muscle tissue. Beta-alanine supplementation is known to enhance athletic performance by increasing muscle carnosine levels, which helps buffer acid in muscles during high-intensity exercise, thereby reducing fatigue and improving endurance.
