In a word, Paresthesia (tingling sensation similar to niacin flush)Normal..... been taking it for 2 years even better results when taken with creatine....
I've gotten it and it was crazy. Often times though it's very subtle. I can feel a tingle in my hands, face and feet until I'm driving to the gym and it fades away. Kind of neat.
The first product I used with beta alanine was Phosphagen Elite (got it at GNC on clearance for $5). I got the tinglies, every time I used it.The second product that I used that had it was Nano Vapor. I got the tinglies and fried up, every time I took it (the Fruit Punch version).However, I did NOT get any tingly feeling when I bought a second jug of Nano Vapor a few months later (Blue Raspberry version).
i got it when lifting..my ears got all itchy...so itchy I went into the bathroom and dunked my head in the sink..got better after about 10 minutes. I read the warning,,but had no clue what to expect...
I got that a similar feeling, when I used ThermoShred. I never checked to see if Beta Alanine was in it.It felt as if someone kept beating me in the head with a cactus.
lol, it's exactly how I feel before going into shock when I eat shellfish.
lol!The tickling sensation vanishes after a few weeks. I actually miss it. Funny feeling.
If you take 2 grams or more you will get this sensation. Strangely, if you take it with carbohydrates this flushing felling doesn't occur. The lead scientist pushing BA (I think it's Dr. Wright) stated this in an interview he did on Beta Alanine in Iron Man last year.
THis happeneds due to the process beta alanine does. It works by binding the specific chemical "beta alanine" to the muscle fibers and receptors so that lactac acid can not bind this is why it is used to work out longer. When this happeneds you get that niacin type flush I could explain it more scientific but I prefer to keep it symple. Look for a product called fusion great pre work out drink with beta alanine and not so much caffeine.
