Frequently Asked Questions

Beta-alanine is the rate-limiting amino acid in carnosine synthesis within our bodies. Carnosine is vital for everyday health.^† Supplementing with beta-alanine has been proven to increase our carnosine levels to provide a variety of health benefits.

There is rigorous clinical research supporting carnosine’s impact on many of the body’s systems. It has been shown to support brain health, reduce mental fatigue, and enhance cognitive function. Carnosine contains powerful antioxidant qualities, protecting the body from damage due to oxidative stress and the glycation process.

Everyone can benefit from increased levels of carnosine in their bodies. Vegans and vegetarians in particular can benefit as their diets don’t contain the animal proteins found in meat, fish, and poultry, which are the main food sources of beta-alanine and carnosine.

Ingested carnosine breaks down in the body into beta-alanine and histidine when absorbed from the digestive system into the bloodstream, and only trace amounts of beta-alanine and carnosine are delivered to the cells. Research has shown that enough histidine is naturally present in the body to meet the demands for synthesis of carnosine, and that the limiting factor is beta-alanine. Beta-alanine supplementation augments the small amounts available from (1) synthesis in the liver, and (2) from the ingestion of meat and fish. Supplemental beta-alanine combines with the naturally occurring histidine to increase the levels of carnosine.

The natural loss of skeletal muscle due to aging, combined with a lack of beta-alanine intake through food sources, leads to a decline in carnosine levels. Supplementation of beta-alanine is both critical and effective in the continued production of healthy levels of carnosine. Perfect Synergy^® uses the patented sustained release beta-alanine, SR CarnoSyn^®, which remains in the body up to twice as long to maximize carnosine production. SR CarnoSyn^® is clinically proven to increase carnosine levels.^†

Perfect Synergy^® is formulated with SR CarnoSyn^®, a sustained release beta-alanine that combines with the amino acid histidine to form the dipeptide carnosine and clinically proven to boost carnosine levels by peer reviewed scientific research. Carnosine is a powerful antioxidant that supports brain health among many other benefits.

Perfect Synergy^® is powered by SR CarnoSyn^®, a sustained release formulation of beta-alanine which is essential to the body’s production of carnosine. This uniquely formulated sustained release technology enables larger servings of beta-alanine to be taken without reaching the paresthesia-sensation threshold typically associated with beta-alanine supplementation.

Paresthesia is a harmless tingling sensation that many people feel after ingesting instant release beta-alanine. As the paresthesia threshold varies from person to person the level of tingling experienced may vary.

Perfect Synergy^® features a sustained release profile designed to buffer paresthesia associated with instant release beta-alanine. Sensitivity may vary depending upon the individual, the dosage amount, and the variety of food intake prior to supplementing with Perfect Synergy^®.

Perfect Synergy^® is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. Since beta-alanine is most often found in meat sources, it is critical for vegans and vegetarians to supplement beta-alanine to ensure healthy levels of carnosine. For vegans specifically, the only other source of beta-alanine is synthesis in the liver, however the level of beta-alanine synthesized in the liver is very low in humans and can only maintain low levels of carnosine production.

Perfect Synergy^® is 100% Non-GMO.

Perfect Synergy^® is completely free of major allergens. It is gluten free, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and kosher and halal.

Perfect Synergy^® contains the only beta-alanine established as a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) by the FDA. Utilizing an NDI ingredient reaffirms our commitment to deliver the highest-quality supplements, and further distinguishes Perfect Synergy^® from generic forms of beta-alanine and carnosine with questionable quality and effectiveness.

GRAS is an acronym for the phrase Generally Recognized As Safe. An ingredient that is self-affirmed GRAS means it is as safe as food, which is recognized and evaluated by experts with scientific training and experience. Perfect Synergy^® is considered one of the cleanest and safest carnosine boosters as it contains the only beta-alanine with self-affirmed GRAS status.

Perfect Synergy^® is made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients. Each bottle is manufactured at FDA registered facilities, under a stringent quality control process which complies with current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the FDA, and various other national and international agencies—to be both safe and effective—containing zero banned substances, allergens, or gluten.

Tablets have a 2 year shelf life when stored tightly sealed in its original container in a cool, dry location.

For general wellness and healthy aging the serving size is 2.4 active grams of Perfect Synergy^® per day. This equates to 2 Perfect Synergy^® tablets taken twice a day.

Perfect Synergy^® is formulated based on the science from over 55 clinical studies and offers 5 clinically proven brain health benefits. Our key ingredient, SR CarnoSyn^®, is a sustained release formulation of beta-alanine which is essential to the body’s production of carnosine—and the only beta-alanine established as a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) by the FDA. Utilizing an NDI ingredient reaffirms our commitment to deliver the highest-quality supplements, and further distinguishes Perfect Synergy^® from generic forms of beta-alanine and carnosine with questionable quality and effectiveness.
