Carnosine is a di-peptide molecule that’s made of two amino acids: histidine and, ta-da, beta-alanine.

If you ingest more beta-alanine, you create more carnosine. This is important because carnosine sucks up reactive oxygen species, which soar super-high during exercise. More importantly, at least more important to performance, carnosine protects against the build-up of hydrogen ions during high-intensity exercise.

This prevents pH from dropping, thus preventing the loss or diminution of enzyme function and muscle-excitation coupling that you need in order to keep on exercising.
