CarnoSyn is a patented beta-alanine ingredient that boosts muscle carnosine levels. This helps buffer the decline in pH levels that causes fatigue during exercise, while delivering improved energy and focus.

Optimum Nutrition uses a great combination of ingredients in their Black Powder pre-workout, but they limit the amount of CarnoSyn to 1.6 grams per serving. That’s too low to provide a clinical dose of this key ingredient.

Patented Beta-Alanine

The patent-pending Beta-Alanine technology used in CarnoSyn delivers a buffering effect that can help you train harder and longer, by reducing the buildup of lactic acid that causes muscle fatigue. It also helps your muscles recover faster, and allows you to increase the amount of exercise you can do before reaching muscle failure.

The patented Beta-Alanine in CarnoSyn is produced under a stringent quality control process that complies with FDA and various national and international agency regulations to ensure it is safe and effective, containing ZERO banned substances. SR CarnoSyn has also received Informed Sport certification, which is the Olympic standard for quality in sports supplements.

Over 55 clinical studies back the performance-enhancing benefits of CarnoSyn. This science-backed ingredient has also earned New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) status from the FDA and Self-Affirmed GRAS status, which provides opportunities in the dietary supplement and food & beverage industry. It’s a natural choice for brand partners who are looking to add value and differentiation to their products.

Informed Sport Certification

Carnosyn’s patented beta-alanine works to buffer hydrogen ions released from lactic acid during training. This results in less muscle fatigue, allowing you to train harder and longer.

It is also clinically proven to boost strength and performance. Over 55 studies have shown this. It’s an essential ingredient for athletes who want to increase endurance and build better muscles.

As part of Informed Sport, a global quality assurance programme, every batch of Max CarnoSyn is tested for prohibited substances by LGC’s world-class sports anti-doping laboratory. It also undergoes a full manufacturing audit.

Informed Sport is different from other supplement testing schemes, as it tests every single batch of product. This avoids composite testing, which involves combining samples from multiple batches of the same product together and then test them as one. This method is much more susceptible to cross-contamination. After a batch has been tested, it is then labelled with the Informed Sport logo. This gives athletes and customers the confidence to use supplements with the Informed Sport mark.

Dosing

CarnoSyn notices the athlete in everyone who wants to level up, push harder and break through. Whether you’re in your prime or taking a break, the goal is to build a healthy body composition of greater muscle mass than fat.

The best way to do that is with a pre-workout formula that features the patented beta-alanine ingredient. This non-essential amino acid is absorbed by the muscles and combines with histidine to form carnosine, which reduces the lactic acid that causes muscular fatigue and allows you to push harder for longer.

However, the dosages of beta-alanine used by manufacturers are all over the place. Some are not even close to the clinically tested dose of 3.2 grams per day for 28 days. Look for the CarnoSyn-Verified logo and you’ll know that the product contains the only patented beta-alanine to have achieved FDA NDI status.

Side Effects

CarnoSyn does not cause bloating, gas or other uncomfortable side effects. It also does not negatively impact cardiovascular function or blood pressure.

In the supplement industry, you’ll see CarnoSyn in a variety of pre-workouts, post-workouts and supplements that aim to help you build more muscle and improve endurance. You’ll also find it in products that help you recover faster. CarnoSyn is a highly researched product with 55 studies behind it and 28 global patents protecting the ingredient.

It’s available in both instant release and sustained-release formulations, allowing you to stack products that contain both instant and sustained-release CarnoSyn for even better results.

Summary:

You’ll find CarnoSyn in products made by brands like Optimum Nutrition, Evlution Nutrition and Performix, the latter of which boasts John Cena as its brand ambassador. Despite a robust list of ingredients in the Performix ION Pre-Workout, it only contains 1.6 grams of CarnoSyn which is low for a clinical dosage and will not last you very long.
