    Beta-Alanine Tab Questions?


    First off I'd like to thank you for destroying my bank account! haha. I am taking 3 tabs a day on off days, and 2 tabs a day on my workout days because I am taking WF prew. Does this seem like a good dosage? My second question is; Should the dosage be spread out throughout the day or taken all preworkout? Thanks

    Our pleasure

    Your dosage looks pretty solid. With the addition of the WF, you are sitting pretty.

    I would spread the dosage out all day, as BA taken over time will boost Carnosine stores in muscle. Taking everything preworkout may lead to parasthesia, the BA tingling, which made a couple of my workout absolutely miserable.

    Dont know if I've noticed anything because honestly, my current plans dont involve testing BA. However, I can say that I still get the tingling on occasion.

    Also, these pills are HUGE. Biggest pill I've swallowed so far...I constantly have to watch myself to make sure it goes down properly.

    Just got mine. So 2/day or 3/day is ideal if you're working out around 5 times/week?

    Yeah they are a ***** to swallow though.

    4 a day would be ideal, according to the studies (which is the reason we made them this dosage.)

    They aren't THAT big.

    Although I wouldn't take his word on it. He has a lot of practice swallowing bigger things from what I heard.

    hahaa....they arent thaaaat big. It should take about 2 weeks for carnosine levels to increase, i felt full benefit of ba about 3-3.5 weeks and beyond. One of my fav supplements for sure.

    Convenience.

    Beta Alanine is best taken at 1.6 gram doses, 3-4 times per day. For most people, it is WAY more convenient to carry around 3-4 tablets to be popped in a few seconds than to carry powder, weigh it out, mix it, then drink.

    These are extremely affordable, and very convenient.

    Thanks to NP i have those small containers that the powdered flavor system came in I just put a 4-5 days worth in there. Definitly can see the caps being more conveniant for some, but that works for me.

    In the end, especially for something as important as Beta-Alanine, all that matters is that it gets into your body.

    We do everything we can to make supplementation convenient and afforable...so choose what you will, powder or tablets.

    have a question for Dsade (or anyone else who might know the answer).

    is it ok to chew the BA pills i got from nutraplanet?

    i can swallow them whole but it is easier to chew them up. they don't taste bad at all.
