Positive experiences
“2 grams of Beta Alanine...helps with the area of the brain which is responsible for making tactical decisions. Helped me pick and choose battles on the exam to get the most points.”
“L-Glutamine and Beta Alanine certainly increased my energy in the past, but they can have some side effects of their own.”
“I take high doses of beta-analine and it helps with parts of my anxiety such as getting the strength back in my legs.”
“It works mostly at boosting your ability to do reps in the range of 10, i.e hypertrophy work.”
“Need to take beta alanine and creatine daily to get the effect just fyi. Tingles are just a side effect and should pass after a couple weeks; I feel the caffeine and beta alanine (i get the tingles from b.a.)”
“whenever I have any over that at one time, it makes me want to fuck anything in sight. Also, sex during the tingles feels about 5x better than normal.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I was noticing that I no longer needed Theanine or any other GABAergics to calm my anxiety.”
“Beta-alanine, in my experience makes me to where I can’t focus. I also have some to a guy before a calculus test. He said was so much more difficult to focus. Wouldn’t recommend as a nootropic.”
“while I love the energy I get from them, I can't stand the skin itchiness. It drives me absolutely nuts!”
“I have been taking Beta Alanine for about 6 months now but I feel like is isn't as effective as before.”
“I feel like I am the only person who has never gotten the tingles. I don't know whether to be upset by this or not :) I generally take 3-5g pre-workout.”
“I use most of these, been having issues with Beta Alanine so I've had to decrease the dose. Weird side effects from it but it does seem to help.”
