Beta-Alanine

What it is

An amino acid your muscles use to build carnosine — their built-in acid buffer.

What it does

Buffers the burn during hard 1–4 minute efforts, so you can push longer before your muscles give out. Best-proven for high-intensity training.

The dose that works

3.2g a day. Like creatine, it loads over weeks of daily use.

Where it lives in the system

Engine (3.2g) — the daily base, because it only works if you take it daily.

Good to know

A light tingle in your skin is normal and completely harmless. It fades as your body adjusts.
