| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. |
| 0:01.9 | Welcome to the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I'm your host, KG, here with my co-host. JW in the house. And that is our co- Okay, that wasn't too bad. Let's keep it. We're going to roll with it. I think you did a pretty good job. TV host introduction. I got to switch it up. You guys probably thought we were getting like serious here and like hired someone else to do it. but it's just us. |
| 0:24.2 | One day we will one day you'll hear we'll get then again I kind of hate that there's a lot of podcasts I listen to and I feel like this spent so much money on these super hype intros and I'm like just get to the content like you know you click a podcast and I know I'm kind of doing it now but you're like i just kind of want to hear what you're saying like get to the talking i don't need some dude hyping you up for 20 minutes like i know what podcast i clicked on but um this is going to be a really fun episode you know we did a science says you should eat this much protein episode got a lot of um you know listens which is fantastic so we kind of want to do an |
| 0:54.9 | episode today on you know science says take these four supplements for better results um so once again |
| 1:00.4 | supplements we like to think of as a very small part of your fitness journey maybe the lead to |
| 1:04.8 | five percent of your total success um and then we mean that more so in a composition point |
| 1:10.0 | but a lot of these supplements can impact you know your mental state which will impact how hard you train so we're going to kind of break down four lesser known supplements today so you know it's not going to be like protein like I mean like it's going to be different ones um you know we want everyone to learn we're going to kind of break down what the science says what it does in terms of science and then we'll say it in broey lame in terms what it does if you should take it and if it's worth |
| 1:31.8 | the money so this is going to be a lot of fun without further ado i'm going to go ahead and jump |
| 1:35.9 | right into it here so first and foremost we have beta alanine um so that just sounds super intense |
| 1:41.7 | like what the heck is beta alanine a A lot of you are wondering, right? |
| 1:45.8 | So the science definition for what it does is it's basically combining, and I might butcher this, so bear with me, but histidine to form carousine. |
| 1:55.0 | And what this does is it's an intercellular buffer. So when you have continuous muscle contraction, these ions accumulate and |
| 2:02.2 | ultimately hinder further contraction. So basically what this means is over time, it's going to keep |
| 2:08.7 | your body working when it normally can't. So this has actually been found to be super effective |
| 2:12.3 | with runners and long distance athletes, even though you wouldn't necessarily think of it like that. |
| 2:17.4 | So beta al-alenean has actually shown, especially in some recent science literature, to be very |
| 2:22.5 | successful for the endurance of a routine, you know, to keep you going longer. |
| 2:26.6 | But the bro breakdown of what it's most commonly used for is it's the thing that makes you |
| 2:31.1 | itchy and pre-workout. |
| 2:32.9 | So for whatever reason, it kind of has this effect to make you really, really itchy |
| 2:37.1 | and kind of feel weird, you know, this tingling, frolly kind of odd sensation. |
| 2:43.0 | And essentially what that is, is it's just your body in a very acute form of pariscia. |
