Beta-Alanine Loading
Beta-alanine loading builds muscle carnosine to buffer acid in one- to four-minute efforts. Split doses to reduce tingling; allow weeks to saturate.
Beta-alanine loading saturates muscle carnosine buffers that blunt acidity in sixty-second to four-minute efforts—tingling skin is harmless paresthesia from split doses. Loading takes two to four weeks at three to six grams daily; maintenance is lower.
It helps repeated intervals more than max singles.
