Klean SR Beta-Alanine and the entire Klean Athlete® line have undergone rigorous testing by the NSF
Certified for Sport® program which was created to meet the growing demands of athletes, coaches and
healthcare professionals to certify that sports supplements are safe and free from banned substances. Every
product that carries the NSF Certified for Sport® mark has undergone stringent laboratory testing to confirm
content, purity and compliance
INDICATIONS
• Supports muscle performance‡
• Improves muscular endurance ‡
• Helps balance pH levels during exercise ‡
FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISMS OF ACTION
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is present in high concentrations
of human skeletal muscle. The rate limiting precursor in carnosine
synthesis is beta-alanine (BA). Hydrogen (H+) ions are produced
when lactic acid levels rise during prolonged and intense exercise.
The production of lactic acid can also result in higher acidity within
the muscle and decreases the ability of the muscle to contract. BA
helps balance pH levels during high intensity exercise. Higher
carnosine levels in the muscle buffer the production of hydrogen
ions. This allows for the muscle to contract with force and maintain
endurance by delaying the onset of muscular fatigue. Increased
muscle carnosine content is associated with performance
enhancement in exercises of short, intense nature and in repeated
maximal contraction bouts. Double-blind, placebo controlled human
trials have shown that the work capacity of muscles during intense
exercise lasting 60-240 seconds was improved in BA compared to
placebo, as was exercise of greater than 240 seconds. ‡
SR CarnoSyn® is a sustained release formula that improves muscle
retention of carnosine. The sustained release profile allows for
higher BA daily dosage which leads to greater retention of carnosine
in the muscle. The greater retention of carnosine leads to higher
working capacity of the muscle. Studies published on SR
CarnoSyn® beta-alanine have shown that 3.2-6.4 grams/day for 4-6
weeks increases ventilatory threshold, time to onset of muscle
fatigue, time to exhaustion, and total work done in cycling exercises
in untrained young adult male and female volunteers. ‡
FORMULA (#KA202402)
2 tablets contain:
Beta-Alanine (as SR CarnoSyn®)............................................................................ 1.6 g
Other ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, dicalcium phosphate, corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose,
hydroxypropyl cellulose, vegetable stearate, silicon dioxide.
CarnoSyn® and SR CarnoSyn® are registered trademarks of Natural Alternatives International, Inc.
Non-GMO, Gluten-free
SUGGESTED USE
Take 2 tablets 2 times daily or as directed by a trainer, coach, or healthcare professional.
Athletes may choose to obtain optimum beta-alanine intake by employing a “loading” phase into their workout
regimen by ingesting higher amounts per day for a period of time before reducing the beta-alanine intake
amount to a more typical maintenance dose of 3.2 g. Several peer-reviewed studies have used SR CarnoSyn®
to maximize beta-alanine loading with the dosage amounts of up to 6.4 g. Using this patented sustained
release formulation, paresthesia is reduced and higher doses of beta-alanine can be ingested. Once tolerance
levels are determined, users can then create their own dosing regimen to reach a threshold goal of 90 grams
taken over 28 days.
SIDE EFFECTS
SR Carnosyn® is a sustained release beta-alanine formulation designed to slow absorption, improve body
retention, and reduce the sensory sensations in the skin known as paresthesia, a common side effect of betaalanine consumption.
STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
