Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid used in the synthesis of carnosine, a dipeptide important for muscle buffering and performance. It is also used in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. Industrially, it serves as a starting material for pantothenic acid and its derivatives, a buffer in electroplating baths, a flavoring agent, and a reagent in organic synthesis and biochemical research. Available in powder form with a purity of ≥98%, CAS number 107-95-9, molecular formula NH₂CH₂CH₂COOH, and molecular weight 89.09 g/mol. Stable at ambient storage conditions. Molekula supplies beta-Alanine from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
