Description

β-Alanine CAS NO 107-95-9 is a naturally occurring beta amino acid, distinct from the more common alpha amino acids, serving as a fundamental building block for numerous biochemical processes. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as the rate-limiting precursor in the biosynthesis of carnosine, a critical intracellular pH buffer in muscle and brain tissue. This makes it an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the sports nutrition, dietary supplement, and pharmaceutical industries, where it is used to formulate products aimed at enhancing performance, reducing fatigue, and supporting neurological health.

Application

• Sports Nutrition & Dietary Supplements: As the direct precursor to carnosine, it is a key active ingredient in pre-workout formulas, performance enhancers, and anti-fatigue supplements designed to increase muscular carnosine levels and buffer lactic acid accumulation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical compounds, including certain peptides and drugs targeting metabolic or neurological pathways.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential moisturizing and antioxidant properties, often as part of more complex peptide actives.
• Animal Nutrition: Added to feed for livestock and companion animals to support muscle health, endurance, and overall metabolic function.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard and reagent in biochemical and physiological studies related to amino acid metabolism, pH regulation, and muscle physiology.
• Food Fortification: Used as a nutritional additive in functional foods and beverages aimed at providing ergogenic or health-supporting benefits.

Quality Control

Our β-Alanine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer grades suitable for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and research applications, with testing protocols aligned with industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and heavy metals, is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
