beta alanine

hi guys, have any of you used beta alanine? Good or bad? How was the results/effects of it? When do you use it? Pre or post workout and how much? From what little i have read, it supposed to be better then creatine? And dosage is 5g before workout on empty tummy. Is that correct?

thanks

beta alanine works extremely well.

I use creatine X4 (USN). i know the CEE has been said not to work, but i take it for the beta alanine and taurine in it.

many people take it pre workout (roughly 5-10g). it helps you get that extra 2 or 3 reps. (extra reps = extra muscle)

Hi Wayne

I have used Beta Alanine from Supplements SA for a few months now as pre-workout booster.

They definately help me get those extra few reps out as I have tested this by not using it on some weight days.

Only downside I could say is that the product gives a weird feeling about 30 minutes after taking it, makes it feel like somethings moving under your skin, I get it in my face, arms back and sometimes legs. A few of my friends that ahve used it also experience this feeling, not sure which ingredient in the product does that as it releases, hehe.

Regards

Great, thought that was in my head. I get that too!

Freakin creeeeepy!

i have not experienced that. Dunno why. Even with gaba, i dont get the tingling anymore, but used to when i first used it. I take a concoction of beta-alanine, creatine, arginine, glutimine and game before training, have not experienced that tingling! But noticed my recovery is much better and i get a decent pump...
