The supplement is called "EnergizeMax Pro.” This is the supplement being discussed here, according to its marketing claims from its company. According to their marketing claims, this pre-workout supplement can enhance athletic performance and boost energy levels during physical exercise sessions while increasing endurance, strength, and focus during workout sessions. The supplement also offers calmness and composure when undertaking different sporting activities.

EnergizeMax Pro touts beta-alanine as critical in its ergogenic effects, purportedly increasing carnosine levels in muscles for improved exercise performance and delaying muscle fatigue, thus allowing athletes to train harder and longer with increased intensity and duration. Furthermore, this amino acid may increase strength and power. A combination of different energy-enhancing chemicals increases the supplement's effectiveness, with results appearing as soon as a user takes the supplement (Hoffman et al., 2008).

Additionally, Artioli et al. (2010) noted that Beta-alanine's primary claimed effect is its ability to boost carnosine levels in muscles, which serves as a buffer and may reduce the buildup of lactic acid during exercise - one factor leading to muscle fatigue. By decreasing muscle acidity levels, beta-alanine may delay fatigue and enhance endurance during high-intensity workouts. According to Hobson et al. (2012), changes in muscle are considered to bear a positive impact on one ability to endure and boost energy during any physical activity.

Beta-alanine supplements are generally safe for most individuals; however, some may experience temporary and mild side effects, such as tingling or flushing sensations on the skin, known as paresthesia. The difference in how the human body reacts upon consuming the supplement poses a necessity for one to read supplement instructions well or consult an expert who understands the mode of use (Smith et al., 2009). Though temporary, current research suggests long-term use may lead to imbalances of other amino acids in the body that require further investigation for the safety and efficacy of beta-alanine supplementation.
