The active ingredient in BETA-7 is called beta-alanine, a non-essential amino acid found naturally in both the body. The trouble is, up until now, there's been a fly in the ointment concerning the proposed use of conventional beta-alanine: If you take it once a day, it's not very effective. If you take it twice a day, it's not very effective. In fact, ordinary, run of the mill beta-alanine must be taken 4 to 8 times a day for it to work effectively, but Biotest solved that problem by making BETA-7 a time released beta-alanine.
When beta-alanine is ingested, it enters the blood stream and is taken up by muscle cells. It then becomes what Biotest call, a "rate limiting substrate" to carnosine synthesis. Now, carnosine is a dipeptide found primarily in fast-twitch muscle whose primary function, is buffering hydrogen ions (H+).
So without beta-alanine, carnosine doesn't get produced, and you don't have the buffering of hydrogen ions. If we buffer H+, the pH levels in our muscles don't drop so low that our muscles start burning and force us to stop exercising. If we don't buffer, the acid levels in the muscle increase and we have to cut our sets off prematurely.
