Beta-Alanine and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that is naturally produced in the body. It is a precursor to carnosine, a compound that helps buffer acid in muscles, thus enhancing physical performance and reducing fatigue during high-intensity exercise. This amino acid is often included in pre-workout supplements and is valued by athletes for its ability to improve endurance and strength. Beta-alanine can be derived from animal sources such as meat, poultry, and fish, or it can be synthetically produced.
