How to use

Take 1 capsule four times a day, spread throughout the day (approximately every 4 hours), with a large glass of water. This distribution helps reduce the intensity of skin tingling compared to taking the entire daily dose at once. Beta-alanine works gradually, so daily use, even on non-training days, is important for the best results.

Pros and Cons

Supports performance during intense training
Helps maintain performance during demanding workouts
Supports endurance during high-intensity efforts
Free of caffeine and other stimulants
One of the most researched ingredients for supporting athletic performance
The full daily dose (4 capsules) provides 4 g of beta-alanine, matching the lower end of the clinically studied range
The effect is not immediate but develops with regular use
Several weeks of daily intake are needed for the best results
Not particularly beneficial for very short explosive efforts
Does not directly contribute to increasing muscle mass or strength
Beta-alanine makes up 84% of the capsule content, the rest being the shell and excipients (glaze, colorants, acidity regulators)

Suitable for

Athletes in team sports
Runners, cyclists and swimmers
Individuals doing HIIT and interval training
Users who want precise dosing in a flavorless capsule form
No, 84% refers to the proportion of beta-alanine within the total capsule content, not to how much active ingredient you actually consume. The remaining 16% consists of the capsule shell (gelatin, glaze, colorants) and anti-caking agents needed for the capsule's shape and stability. The label clearly states that one daily dose (4 capsules) contains exactly 4,000 mg (4 g) of pure beta-alanine, which corresponds to the lower end of the officially recommended range of 4-6 g per day (Trexler et al., 2015).
It is recommended to spread out the dose, which is also the manufacturer's instruction for this product (one capsule approximately every 4 hours). The ISSN position stand states that single doses above approximately 800 mg to 1.6 g increase the likelihood and intensity of paresthesia (skin tingling), while smaller, spread-out intakes reduce this unpleasant but harmless sensation, without affecting the total daily effect on muscle carnosine concentration (Trexler et al., 2015).
The active ingredient – beta-alanine – is chemically identical whether consumed as a powder, tablet, or capsule, since it is a free amino acid whose absorption is not significantly affected by the product form. The higher price of capsules therefore does not mean better efficacy, but mainly pays for convenience (flavorless, no need to prepare a drink, precisely pre-dosed) and the manufacturing costs of encapsulation. If the price per gram of active ingredient matters to you, powder from the same ingredient group is an equally effective, cheaper alternative.
Beta-alanine works through a different mechanism than creatine – it acts as an intracellular pH buffer that mitigates the buildup of hydrogen ions during anaerobic effort, while creatine supports the phosphocreatine energy system during short explosive efforts (Trexler et al., 2015). The combination of the two is common in pre-workout products, and no direct interactions between them are known. If you are also taking other dietary supplements or medications, it is still advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist before combining them, especially if you have any health conditions.
May contain traces of milk, eggs, gluten-containing cereals, soy, peanuts, nuts, celery, fish, crustaceans and sulfur dioxide.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose
Not suitable for children, pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers
Temporary tingling or prickling of the skin may occur after intake, which is a normal and harmless effect of beta-alanine
