The "new creatine" for performance improvment

Beta-alanine and L-histidine are the building blocks of the dipeptide beta-alanyl-L-histidine, also known as carnosine. Antioxidant, buffering, free radical scavenging and even neurotransmitter properties ara attributed to carnosine.
Carnosine is found in high concentations in skeletal muscle, and it´s preferentially located in the strongest type II fast-twitch muscle fibers. Carnosine can pick up H+ and delay the drop in pH increasing one´s ability to work harder and longer. By boosting carnosine via supplementation, we can increase our capacity to fight acid build up in working muscles.
