CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural
Alternatives International, Inc. (NAI) (NASDAQ: NAII), a global
formulator and manufacturer of customized nutritional supplements,
today announced the immediate availability of SR CarnoSyn® - a
superior form of beta-alanine with a sustained release profile that
provides increased daily dosing and improved muscle retention of
carnosine. This new delivery system is available in both tablet and
powder form and provides daily doses of beta-alanine up to 6.4
grams with limited paresthesia and significantly reduces the
loading period needed to enhance performance levels.
Clinical and scientific studies have repeatedly shown that
average supplementation of beta-alanine, with a total loading of
179g (6.4g/day over 4 weeks), provided significant performance
attributes. However, until now, ingesting this level of
beta-alanine would normally cause uncomfortable paresthesia
sensations.
"SR CarnoSyn® sustained release beta-alanine is now commercially
available and provides formulation flexibility, extending the
benefits of beta-alanine to a much broader group of consumers,"
said Mark A. LeDoux, NAI's CEO and
Chairman. "This proprietary and patented form of beta-alanine shows
tremendous market growth potential in applications for serious
athletes, as well as active individuals and the healthy aging
market."
Beta-alanine combines with histidine in the body to form
carnosine, which acts as a buffer and helps to delay the onset of
muscle fatigue and failure. SR CarnoSyn® beta-alanine stimulates
the synthesis of muscle carnosine. The sustained release form stays
in the body longer for extended absorption, higher muscle
retention, and a significant increase in muscle carnosine levels to
extend endurance, speed muscle recovery, build muscle strength, and
enhance peak performance capabilities.
"These improvements in muscle and exercise performance
are attributed to the increases in muscle carnosine
concentration and corresponding increases in muscle buffering
capacity," said Roger Harris,Ph.D., beta-alanine research pioneer
and patent inventor. Dr. Harris went on to state that,
"Recent studies, and the kinetic modeling of the changes in
muscle carnosine have reinforced the fact that a higher daily
dose, and longer supplementation period with beta-alanine, further
amplifies the performance improvements which can be
achieved in the execution of sustained, intermittent,
high-intensity exercise that is anaerobically
challenging."

announce their new manufacturing partnership with INNOBIO LIMITED,
