The CarnoSyn® Discovery
Athletes have one particular individual to thank for advancements in performance through supplementation—Dr. Roger Harris. Dr. Harris spent years researching and patenting the benefits of creatine for muscle building when he turned his attention to muscle carnosine. Dr. Harris began testing other ways to increase muscle carnosine and discovered that ingested CarnoSyn® beta-alanine combined easily with naturally occurring histidine to form muscle carnosine. After testing histidine levels in the body, he determined that the limiting factor was the level of CarnoSyn® beta-alanine. It turned out that most normal diets do not include enough naturally occurring beta-alanine to boost carnosine production and increase athletic performance.
“The patented use of beta-alanine has resulted in a significant advancement in muscle performance technology. Over 55 clinical studies support the performance benefits of CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® beta-alanine. "
