Description

Beta Alanine (CAS 107-95-9 ), also recognized by its FEMA 3252 designation in flavoring applications, is a naturally occurring amino acid used as a functional ingredient across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing. Unlike most amino acids, it acts on buffering capacity and moisture retention rather than protein synthesis, making it a distinct procurement target for formulators working across multiple categories and industrial sectors. In sports nutrition and dietary supplement manufacturing, it is the primary precursor to carnosine, driving its inclusion in pre-workout blends and endurance formulations at clinically referenced loading doses for athletes. Food and beverage producers use it as a flavoring agent and acidulant, contributing mild tartness and pH modulation in functional drinks and fortified products. Pharmaceutical formulators incorporate it into buffered preparations. In these medical applications, amino acid-based pH control is often preferred over inorganic salts. In personal care, its humectant properties support moisture-binding in skin-conditioning products and various topical formulations. The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder. Standard commercial grades include food-grade and USP -compliant specifications, with pharmaceutical-grade material available for highly regulated applications. Bulk quantities are typically offered in 25 kg bags, with documentation packages supporting both food and pharma supply chains. This ensures compliance with global safety and quality standards for industrial procurement. Contact us for supply of Beta Alanine Request Quote
