Beta-alanine requires consistent daily intake to build up carnosine for fatigue management.

“beta alanine is another fantastic example of something you need to take consistently if you want some sort of benefit it needs to be built up in muscle we need to use that to create carnosine which is what's actually going to help us with our fatigue management that's why we call it like an acid buffer”

“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 anorobic, strength, it doesn't really matter, right? Contracting muscle power. We start running into acidic environment, we start running into problems. So, Andrew 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.”

“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, the limiting factor. So if we can give you more of that, you can build up more carnosine. Then we can buffer more effectively."”
