    5-6 grams of beta alanine daily for increased performance?

    I recently heard from someone that they increased their beta alanine consumption to 5-6 grams daily and experienced significant endurance and strength level increases. This would necessitate specific supplementation as most pre-workout products only have 1-2 grams per serving, so the rest could be added independently. Has anyone seen significant changes from using beta alanine (besides the tingling)? Thanks!

    Haven't seen shit from beta, give it a go?

    It supposedly buffers the lactic acid allowing you to continue to perform for a bit longer before the lactic acid system forces you to decrease intensity.

    Not besides the tingling. More than 2 grams and I itch like a bitch. Not worth the spends, buy more chicken instead.

    Agreed with the above statements as I actually gave it a good honest shot to see its effects as there's a descent deal of scientific data suggesting its validity.

    I consumed about 1000 grams, and can truly say that it's not worth the money.

    I did not notice any real improvement from a buffering standpoint.

    The itching is an issue and can be worse with higher dosages.
    Ive seen some good effect with beta alanine but have to agree
    with your comment 'buy more chicken instead'
