CARLSBAD,
Calif., July 11, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- Natural Alternatives International, Inc.
("NAI") (NASDAQ: NAII), the patent holder of CarnoSyn®
beta-alanine, one of the leading ingredients in sports nutrition,
announced today a commitment to educating consumers and
manufacturers about the scientifically proven loading period and
correct dosing of beta-alanine. As the sole U.S. patent
holder of the ingredient, NAI has an obligation to ensure that
CarnoSyn® is being taken correctly, and that consumers are reaping
the muscle-building benefits.
There are more than 55 scientific studies on the
benefits of beta-alanine, but in order to achieve performance
benefits, it must be properly loaded and dosed. Consumers
need to load a minimum of 90 grams over a period of 28 days. For
advanced or maximum benefits, 179 grams over 28 days is needed.
This proper dosing regimen works out to an average of 3.2-6.4
grams per day.
"It's incredibly important that those taking
CarnoSyn® beta-alanine understand that the proven benefits do not
apply to them if they are under-dosing," said Dr. Roger Harris, the biochemist who first studied
the connection between beta-alanine and carnosine. "It's up
to the CarnoSyn® brand partners to formulate their supplements with
the correct dose of the ingredient. Every brand partner
should make a clear statement that 90-179g must be taken over a
period of 28 days in order to achieve proven results."
It's also important to note that the maximum dose
does not have to be taken all at once, consumers may stack their
daily doses. This can be done in a variety of ways, including
a pre-workout, post-workout or stand-alone product, or as a
combination. In addition to stacking and taking the proper
dose, consumers must take CarnoSyn® beta-alanine every day to
achieve benefits - not just on workout days.
"As the global patented supplier of CarnoSyn®
beta-alanine, we're dedicated to the science that supports our
benefit claims," said Kenneth Wolf,
President of NAI, the parent company of CarnoSyn®. "But these
benefits can only be supported if the end consumer is taking the
product correctly. Our mission with this initiative is to
lead the charge on ensuring our partners are clearly communicating
the correct loading and dosing information."
