The smaller tub, enough for the two-to-four week loading period before the effect appears. Beta-alanine works on cumulative load, not on the dose you took today.

See all on AmazonWhat to look for
- ✓Beta-alanine powder or capsules; sustained-release formulations (e.g. CarnoSyn SR) if tingling is a problem
- ✓4–6 g/day for at least 2–4 weeks (cumulative load matters more than daily dose); split into servings of ≤1.6 g to stay under the paraesthesia threshold
- ✓Third-party tested (USP, NSF, Informed Sport)
What to avoid
- ✕Proprietary blends that hide the dose per ingredient
- ✕Unstandardised extracts with no active-compound percentage
Safety notes
- · Paraesthesia (skin tingling on face, neck and hands) above ~800 mg in a single non-sustained-release dose — harmless but uncomfortable; use divided 1.6 g doses or a SR formula
- · No other adverse effects identified in the ISSN review at recommended doses; long-term (>1 year) data are limited
- · Theoretical taurine depletion via shared transporter has not been confirmed in humans
