Maximising Muscle Performance With Creatine and Beta Alanine
Mark
Reading Time: 5 minutes. Creatine and beta-alanine work synergistically to enhance muscle performance through distinct yet complementary mechanisms. Creatine rapidly regenerates ATP through phosphocreatine donation, while beta alanine forms carnosine to buffer intracellular pH levels. This biochemical partnership optimises energy production and maintains ideal cellular conditions during intense exercise. Research demonstrates improved strength, power output,…

Viral infections activate immune responses that disrupt brain function. Inflammatory cytokines cross the blood-brain barrier, triggering microglial activity that weakens synaptic connections essential for concentration. This neuroinflammatory process explains the mental fog many experience during illness. While rest helps, emerging research identifies specific strategies that actively reverse inflammation’s cognitive impact—approaches rarely…
