Trying to do what you can do.

It's fantastic.

I love it.

Yeah, but you're getting jacked.

I love it.

It's functional.

It's been around for a really long time.

Really simple strategy with this one.

So enzymes work in a certain pH range, right?

If you come too acidic inside of a muscle, we have a hard time running any metabolic process.

Aerobic, anaerobic, strength, it doesn't really matter, right?

Contracting muscle power, we start running into acidic environment, we start running into problems.

So enter then a whole cascade of supplements designed to buffer fatigue, which is a way to say like, let's keep you within that acidic range.

Now you can do this by starting off more alkaline, or you can just do this by putting intermediators in there that say like, we're just going to keep you within that certain range so you don't get too high.

Beta alanine was a great stop on that because we're looking at intracellular carnosine.

That's what we're trying to do, right?

So he's like saying, hey, this is our limiting factor, beta alanine being the amino acid limiting factor.

So if we can give you more of that, you can build up more carnosine, then we can buffer more effectively.

And it works.

There's a good amount of research on it.
