Beta alanine is classified as a non essential amino acid and is the one and only naturally occurring beta type of amino acid. Unlike the regular amino acid alanine, beta alanine is not considered a building block of protein. The most natural way to get your beta alanine is through eating protein rich foods such as red meats, chicken, pork and seafood. Although only recently brought to the forefront, beta-alanine was discovered over 100 years ago. Also known as 3-aminopropanoic acid, it is a non-essential amino acid and is the only naturally occurring beta-amino acid. Not to be confused with alanine, beta- alanine is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid as it is not used in the building of proteins. Physical performance. Some clinical research shows that taking beta-alanine improves some measures of physical performance, especially during high-intensity exercise and strength training. Beta-alanine supplements might also improve physical performance and delay muscle fatigue in older adults between 55 and 92 years of age. Researchers are hopeful that these benefits might lower fall risk, but it's too early to know that for sure. Most research has used a specific beta-alanine product (CarnoSyn).
