CarnoSyn® Carnosine Synthesizer Beta-Alanine
Phosphate Scavenging and Acid Management
Nature's endurance support
Beta-Alanine turns into Carnosine. Carnosine in working muscles comes from Beta-Alanine. The good scientists at NAI call their brand of Beta-Alanine CarnoSyn® Carnosine Synthesizer. Strenduro Formula 456 is made exclusively with NAI’s CarnoSyn® Carnosine Synthesizer.
Overseas manufacturers can synthesize large lots of the carnosine chemical and give it in a capsule, but that will have essentially no biochemical benefit to the athlete. The reason is that carnosine itself gets degraded in the digestive process, slowly reduced back to constituent amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. The eventual degraded carnosine’s beta-alanine arrives at the muscle slowly in low concentration and does not immediately become forced into carnosine again.
Once muscle receives a large bulk of Beta-Alanine at once from diet, it becomes the committed step on the biochemical path to becoming usable Carnosine. Supplemented Beta-Alanine theoretically drives additional carnosine synthesis by mass-action.
We feel that the best available Beta-Alanine is branded CarnoSyn® Carnosine Synthesizer. Look for the CarnoSyn logo when you buy Beta-Alanine, it is the mark of quality: certain-source bio-fermented Beta-Alanine. If you encounter a product without the CarnoSyn® co-brand, there is much less clarity about where the ingredient came from. Be advised.

The Other Ingredients
HMB
Recovery is made simple. daily.
Branch Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) support begins with Leucine and ends with HMB.
Research has shown that HMB supports recovery.
Creatine Monohydrate
the most researched compound ever.
Creatine Monohydrate has been researched for athletic performance since the 1970s.
Like Carnosine, Creatine scavenges ATP breakdown products and helps control the sizzle.
