Claims12
A method of increasing athletic performance in an animal comprising administering to the animal a composition comprising an effective amount of creatine β-alaninate.
A method according to claim 6 wherein the effective amount is from about 1.00 mg/kg/day to about 150.00 mg/kg/day.
A method according to claim 6 where the composition is a nutritional supplement comprising creatine β-alaninate in an amount of from about 0.100 g to about 15.00 g, inclusive.
A method according to claim 6 wherein the composition is a nutritional supplement comprising creatine β-alaninate in an amount of from about 5% to about 100%, inclusive.
A method according to claim 6 wherein the composition increases the skeletal muscle level of creatine in said animal.
A method according to claim 6 wherein the composition increases the skeletal muscle level of phosphocreatine in said animal.
A method of reducing the paraesthesic effect of β-alanine administration in a mammal comprising administering to said mammal a composition comprising a creatine β-alaninate salt, wherein said salt exhibits reduced paraesthesic effect in comparison with an equivalent amount of β-alanine.
A method of increasing tissue bioavailability of creatine in a mammal comprising administering to said mammal a composition comprising a creatine β-alaninate salt, wherein said salt exhibits increased creatine tissue bioavailability in comparison with an equivalent amount of creatine administered alone.
