Well I read an article on how too much BA could lead to taurine deficencies in the brain or something. It was a study done on rats. Also what if someone does not want to be intaking Beta Alanine? Have you heard anything about that study???
I made it a point to research this after you brought it to my attention.

The study was done on
Cats.

Cats don't have the ability to synthesize taurine in the first place. (1)
"First, the liver of the cat has a limited ability to make taurine, as the rate-limiting enzymes required for converting methionine and cysteine to taurine are only minimally active in the feline liver. Second, cats lose taurine in the secretion of bile acids (whereas other mammals also use glycine in the conjugation and secretion of bile acids, freeing up taurine for other uses). (2)"
To put it simply, BA is so popular a ton of people have jumped all over it, tested and researched it. It has been proven to be (generally speaking) healthy in humans. The fact that cats lack the ability to synthesize taurine, and well the fact that we're not cats, renders this study useless imho.
But if you remember we removed the Glycocyamine from Green BULGE immediately after it became known it was linked to homeocysteine levels. So we always have health in mind, that's why we include anti-oxidants in our WHITE products.
Personally I see no reason to stop using BA, a naturally occuring amino acid. It works good, has been researched and feels cool. But ultimately what you put into your body is up to you. We do recommend that you cycle PW and WF just so you don't build up tolerance to the ingredients.
