What Beta-Alanine is
Beta-Alanine is an amino acid the body uses to build carnosine, a compound stored in muscle and brain tissue.
What Beta-Alanine does in MemoClear®
Carnosine acts as a natural antioxidant and buffer in the brain, helping shield neurons from the oxidative wear that comes with age, stress and long, demanding days. Beta-Alanine is the limiting building block for carnosine, so supplying it is the direct route to higher carnosine levels. In MemoClear it is the protective ingredient: while the amino acids and niacin support flow and energy, beta-alanine helps preserve the cells doing the work.
The benefit
Raises carnosine to help protect neurons from everyday oxidative stress.
Where it comes from in food
Beef, pork, chicken and fish, where it exists inside carnosine.
How it fits with the other MemoClear® ingredients
Beta-Alanine works alongside L-Arginine, L-Arginine AKG 2:1, L-Citrulline HCL, L-Citrulline Malate, Niacin (Vitamin B3). Together they cover cerebral blood flow, brain-cell energy and neuron protection in one daily capsule.
