E34 - Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine is a supplement that can help improve exercise performance in intense exercise that is anywhere from 1-10 minutes. The research shows a 3-4% improvement on average for intense exercise in this range if taken for a sufficient amount of time. But there is reason to believe that the research commonly utilises sub-optimal protocols, so you can potentially get even more benefit than this.
