Frequently Asked Questions
What is TriBsyn®?
TriBsyn is a patent-pending carnosine booster developed by CarnoSyn Brands that delivers beta-alanine with enhanced absorption and bioavailability.
What are the health benefits of increased carnosine levels?
Carnosine plays a role in supporting muscle function, cognitive performance, and mitochondrial health, and functions as an antioxidant that naturally declines with age.
Why not just supplement with carnosine?
Carnosine is broken down into beta-alanine and histidine during digestion before being resynthesized at the cellular level, which is the inefficiency that TriBsyn’s underlying science is designed to bypass.
What makes TriBsyn® unique compared to regular beta-alanine?
TriBsyn eliminates paresthesia and delivers 4x greater bioavailability than conventional beta-alanine, a result confirmed across TriBsyn’s published study citations.
How can TriBsyn® support people on GLP-1 therapies?
Who should consider taking TriBsyn®?
Anyone building a healthy aging strategy may benefit from TriBsyn®, since natural carnosine levels begin declining as early as age 30.
Why do vegans and vegetarians need more carnosine support?
Carnosine is synthesized from beta-alanine, found mainly in animal-based foods, which is why vegan and vegetarian diets are linked to carnosine levels up to 50% lower than non-vegetarians.
Does TriBsyn® contain allergens?
No. TriBsyn is gluten-free, vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and certified kosher and halal, as detailed in its technical specifications.
Is TriBsyn® water soluble?
Yes, a property confirmed in TriBsyn’s® technical specifications.
What is the shelf life of TriBsyn®?
TriBsyn® has a shelf life of up to 3 years when stored per the storage guidance in its technical specifications.
Are samples and pricing available?
Yes, samples and pricing are available through the TriBsyn® sales team via Contact Us.
Where can I find products containing TriBsyn®?
TriBsyn is included in premium formulations from brand partners listed on the Find TriBsyn® page.
Who makes TriBsyn®?
TriBsyn® is manufactured by Natural Alternatives International (NAI) under its CarnoSyn Brands portfolio.
Is TriBsyn® the same as CarnoSyn??
No. CarnoSyn is NAI’s original beta-alanine platform, while TriBsyn® is a newer formulation built on CarnoSyn beta-alanine using proprietary Hydro Oleo technology.
What is Hydro Oleo technology?
Hydro Oleo is the proprietary delivery technology behind TriBsyn’s® science, engineered to improve dispersion and bioavailability compared to standard beta-alanine powder.
Does TriBsyn® cause tingling (paresthesia) like regular beta-alanine?
No. TriBsyn’s® clinical study results found no reported paresthesia at its tested dose, unlike conventional beta-alanine at comparable doses.
What product formats can TriBsyn® be used in?
TriBsyn® works across ready-to-mix powders, ready-to-drink beverages, protein drinks, dairy products, gummies, and medical nutrition, spanning both active nutrition and clinical nutrition applications.
Is TriBsyn® backed by clinical research?
Yes, TriBsyn® is supported by published, peer-reviewed clinical research, including a randomized double-blind crossover pharmacokinetic study detailed in its study citations.
At what age does natural carnosine decline begin?
Natural carnosine levels begin declining as early as age 30, a key reason proactive healthy aging strategies start supplementation earlier rather than later.
Can TriBsyn® help with muscle loss from weight loss medications?
Yes, TriBsyn® is positioned to help offset the lean muscle loss associated with GLP-1 receptor agonist use, a connection explored further in this Science Spotlight.
