So I was reading that magazine (Muscle News) and I saw this:
Is this true?... Ive been taking BA with my postworkout meal for a while, I hope its not
Well, it's sort of true. Full proteins are going to definitely have some other aminos competing for the receptors. Aminos compete for receptors in various groupings, if you have two or three aminos in the same groupings, there is going to be competition and you will not get the full benefit of a particular amino you take -- you will lose some or perhaps most of the amino's use if the other aminos are more dominate for the main receptors.

It's of NO significance, don't worry about it.
There have actually been performance studies in humans using chicken broth, which contains Beta-Alanine and of course the other amino acids, compared to the equivalent amount of Free form Beta-Alanine. The researcher took muscle biopsies at the end of the study to measure/compare CARN concentrations in the muscle.
The result, almost identical CARN concentrations from the chicken broth compared to the Free form Beta-Alanine.
Amino acid competition issues, are usually when you are trying to get amino's through the blood brain barrier into the brain to effect neurological function. We care about boosting CARN in the muscles.

N/p, just in case you are going to ask about not taking Beta-Alanine and taurine together(we get that Q all the time).
