Beta-Alanine
A regular schedule

The sports schedule is 3.2 or 6.4 g a day. Details below.
The effect comes from taking it regularly over weeks.
Spread the intake across the day, ideally with meals.
This is not a supplement for the moment before training. Here regularity is what matters.
The sports schedules still need to be agreed against the current label and the rules for communicating them. A plan is not a reason to exceed the serving stated on the pack.
Worth knowing
How many capsules a day?
A capsule holds 800 mg. 3.2 g is 4 capsules, 6.4 g is 8 capsules. In the sports schedule 3.2 g is taken for 8 weeks and 6.4 g for 4 weeks. Take the number of capsules from your plan and from the label.More in the guide (in Polish): Beta-alanina: regularność, długość stosowania i przerwy
Should I take it on rest days too?
Yes. The schedule is daily, including days without training.
Does it work like a pre-workout?
No. Beta-alanine is not a short-term stimulant. In studies it was taken daily for weeks to raise carnosine in the muscles.More in the guide (in Polish): Beta-alanina a mrowienie: co mówi odczucie po porcji
Does tingling mean it is working?
Tingling can follow a larger single portion and it does not measure how well it works. Smaller portions across the day usually limit it.More in the guide (in Polish): Beta-alanina a mrowienie: co mówi odczucie po porcji
Do I have to take breaks?
Breaks and the length of use follow from your goal and your plan. Stick to the agreed schedule and to the label.More in the guide (in Polish): Beta-alanina: regularność, długość stosowania i przerwy
What happens after stopping?
Carnosine falls gradually. Returning to the starting level takes as long as 12 to 16 weeks, which does not mean you keep the same sports effect all that time.More in the guide (in Polish): Beta-alanina: regularność, długość stosowania i przerwy
Can it be combined with other supplements?
The combination with sodium bicarbonate is described, with no promise of an extra effect. Test products one at a time, otherwise you cannot judge tolerance.More in the guide (in Polish): Beta-alanina: dieta bezmięsna, łączenie i granice dowodów
