Modus operandi

The recipe for success starts with yourself, your mentality and competitive spirit being the main ingredients. But those factors alone will only get you so far. If you've ever put real work in, and forced yourself to take it to the limit, you know what it feels like when your muscles cannot go any further, no longer able to contract properly, and producing a burning sensation along with intense fatigue. An increasing number of athletes attempts to counter these symptoms by increasing their levels of a dipeptide named carnosine, whose synthesis involves beta-alanine.

In supplement form, beta-alanine is popular among people who are into strength and high-intensity training, and who challenge their limits with each workout in order to realize their goals.
