How long until I begin noticing benefits from beta-alanine?
Performance benefits typically occur in as little as two weeks, although some individuals will notice benefits within one week. As carnosine levels increase, performance benefits, leading to lean muscle gains will follow. The most dramatic performance increases are generally experienced within the 3-4 week range but they don’t stop there.
Recent research is now showing,supplementing with Beta-Alanine, continues to increase carnosine levels up to at least the 12 week mark. Based off the current research, it is recommend to stay on Beta-Alanine for at least three months to optimize your carnosine levels.
Immediate benefits:
Many users experience intense vasodilation/pumps from the very first dose of Beta-Alanine. Because Beta-Alanine increases carnosine and carnosine is a powerful precursor in generating nitric oxide synthase (a group of enzymes necessary for making the powerful vasodilator nitric oxide), this is an added, immediate benefit of Beta-Alanine.
