Have you ever experienced a tingling feeling in your face an hands after taking a pre-workout? This was the work of beta-alanine.
While beta-alanine is a popular ingredient found in many pre-workouts, supplementation is actually not timing-dependent (meaning that is doesn't matter if you take it before or after your workout or on any other time during the day. Also, to get the most out of this sports supplement you should be aware of the dose. Many pre-workouts don't carry a clinically dosed amount.
What is is for?
- Beta-alanine can increase sports performance by help delaying the onset of lactic acid and muscle fatigue. So, if you train with longer exercise bouts (more than 30sec) like AMRAP, supersets etc.
- OR if you do short high intensity exercise bouts, like CrossFit, Martial Arts, Weightlifting, Sprinting, Rowing, BMX etc.
So how much such you use?
Recommended use (use a scale):
- ≤ 60 kg body weight - 3 g per day (1 scoop)
- 61-79 kg body weight - 4.5 g per day (1,5 scoop)
- ≥ 80 kg body weight - 6 g per day (2 scoops)
How long should you use it?
Daily use over 4-6 weeks is needed to fully saturate the muscle carnosine stores. Then stopping for 2-4 weeks and starting after your break.
Who could benefit EXTRA from using this supplement?
People who are flexitarian, vegetarian, vegan or plant-based. The carnosine content is the muscles is often lower dure to a reduced intake with plant-based foods.
How does it work?
Beta-alanine is non-essential amino acid that can positively influence the acidity in your body (pH) by replenishing your body's stores of carnosine.
Carnosine is released into the body when the pH in the muscles drops. In other words when your muscles start to acidify with intensive efforts. Carnosine can delay acidification in the muscles. Increasing the carnosine concentration with a carnosine supplement is not possible, because the muscle cannot absorb carnosine. Beta-alanine is suitable for supplementing carnosine for an increased carnosine concentration in the muscle.
Warning
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep in a dry and cool place. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children.
Note - Can cause harmless tingling
Taking a certain amount of beta-alanine can cause tingling in the hands, for example. This is not harmful. If you find this uncomfortable, you can spread your dose in 2-4 servings throughout the day to reduce the tingling sensation.
