When to take

You can take Beta-alanine anytime of the day. Several companies will put it in pre-workouts but it has no acute benefit. It needs to be taken consistently to see benefits.

How long until I see benefits?

While some effects on muscle carnosine levels can be seen within 2-4 weeks, significant performance benefits are typically observed after 4-6 weeks of consistent beta-alanine supplementation at doses of 4-6 g per day.

The goal is to get to 179g of Beta alanine supplementation as this is where the largest benefits have been shown. A higher daily supplementation of 6.4g means this can be achieved sooner than taking 3.2g or 4g daily. 

How to take

Almost all studies show increases in Carnosine across individuals with between 2 and 24 weeks of supplementation between 3.2 and 6.4 g/day.

We advise 4g a day for 45 days which can be taken in seperate 2g doses or in one serving.

Having to split doses into more than one or two servings a day is challenging to actually implement and higher doses can be uncomfortable.

After this you can maintain by taking a lower dose (2g) daily or taking everyother day to sustain Carnosine levels.

The washout period is around 4-6 weeks to return to baseline so this is something you can cycle.

Common mistakes people make

Here are some common mistakes people make with beta-alanine supplementation:

  • Taking too large of doses at once: This can cause paresthesia (tingling sensation), which can be uncomfortable. If you struggle with this sensation (which is harmless) it's better to take smaller doses (800-1600 mg) spread throughout the day.
  • Not taking it consistently: Beta-alanine needs to be taken regularly (daily) for at least 2-4 weeks to see benefits. Inconsistent use won't allow muscle carnosine levels to build up sufficiently.
  • Expecting immediate results: The effects of beta-alanine take time to manifest, usually 2-4 weeks of consistent supplementation. People often give up too soon before seeing the benefits.
  • Using it for the wrong types of exercise: Beta-alanine is most effective for high-intensity exercise lasting 1-4 minutes. It's less beneficial for very short (<60 seconds) or long endurance (>25 minutes) activities.
  • Overlooking diet and training: Beta-alanine is not a magic pill. It needs to be combined with proper nutrition and training to see optimal benefits.
Benefits Plus

Increased Muscle Carnosine Levels: Supplementing with beta alanine leads to elevated levels of carnosine in your muscles. Carnosine acts as an intracellular buffer, helping to regulate pH levels during high intensity exercise. This allows athletes to better manage the accumulation of lactic acid, delaying the onset of muscle fatigue and supporting prolonged and explosive performance.

Improved Work Capacity/Endurance: By improving the management of lactic acid in muscles, beta alanine may contribute to improved exercise performance and endurance. Particularly those in activities that rely on the anaerobic energy system, such as short bursts of max effort, may have delayed fatigue and an increased work capacity.

FAQs Plus

Is Beta Alanine suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

Yes, beta alanine is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

What is the main role of Beta Alanine as a supplement?

Beta Alanine serves as a supplement to aid the synthesis of carnosine, a dipeptide in muscles that acts as a buffer, regulating pH levels during high-intensity exercise.

How does carnosine, promoted by Beta Alanine supplementation, counteract muscle fatigue during intense exercise?

Carnosine buffers the lactic acid produced by muscles during intense exercise, regulating pH levels and delaying the onset of muscle fatigue, particularly beneficial for activities like weightlifting or sprinting.

In what way does Beta Alanine contribute to improved exercise performance?

By managing lactic acid in muscles, beta alanine enhances exercise performance and endurance, especially benefiting activities relying on the anaerobic energy system, resulting in delayed fatigue and increased work capacity.
