Alanine is an α-amino acid. L-alanine supplements are therefore often used in cases of hypoglycaemia to prevent the organism from suffering low blood sugar or insuline shocks. They enable rapid energy delivery by stimulating the immediate release of glucose into the blood stream.
Effects of L-Alanine
Poor nutrition, a low protein diet, as well as stress and environmental can all cause an insufficiency of L-alanine. Such shortfalls should be compensated with dietary supplements with a level of urgency. Muscle endurance and strength may otherwise adversely affected and ongoing muscle atrophy (shrinkage), fatigue or faintness may result. When dosed appropriately however, L-alanine can be an effective nutrient supporting an intensive training regime and achieve effective muscle growth.
