Golden Nugget 01: Beta Alanine

Golden Nugget 01:

Beta Alanine

What is it?

Beta-alanine is an altered version of the amino acid alanine.

What does it do?

“When beta-alanine is ingested, it turns into the molecule carnosine, which acts as an acid buffer in the body. Carnosine is stored in cells and released in response to drops in pH. Increased stores of carnosine can protect against diet-induced drops in pH (which might occur from ketone production in ketosis, for example), as well as offer protection from exercise-induced lactic acid production.” -Examine.com

How much do I take?

For intense weightlifters, take 2000-5000 mg pre-workout.
For the average Joe just doing cardio or light weightlifting, take 800-1000 mg
Of course Dosage is always dependant on a person's weight and size, LBM, and tolerance. I suggest starting with a low dosage and working your way up.
