Comprehensive Guide to Beta Alanine

As a Sports Dietitian, I have always counseled my clients to use caution with sports supplements. When an athlete asks about using a supplement, I make sure the basics are checked off first. I look at their base diet to make sure it meets their daily nutrient needs, and check to be sure their fueling and hydration plan is dialed in. Once that is set up, the next step is to make sure the supplement is safe, is backed up by research showing it actually works, with enough active ingredient to work, and will help this individual meet their goals. It was a rare case if they brought in something that met all these criteria.

Now I am checking boxes like crazy. PowerBar’s High Intensity Sustained Release Beta Alanine dietary supplement is research supported, provides an active ingredient in a dose that has been shown to be effective, and that is also batch tested for over 150 banned substances and contaminants. I have also talked with numerous athletes that are using this product with great success. If you are strength training, participate in endurance sports, or are active in team sports, this supplement could be for you!
