Tinglies
It's not super clear in the description of this product but it's main purpose to my knowledge is to give you tingly sensations throughout your body when you work out. It's what most preworkouts have in them. It enhances the rush of energy when taken with caffeine. The recommended dosage is 1/4 tsp 3 times a day but if you're using it for the purpose I just mentioned, is best to take 1/2-3/4 tsp all at once 15 or so minutes prior to working out preferably with caffeine/preworkouts and maybe a small amount of food in your stomach.This product most definitely delivers. The tinglies really make the workout feel better and it even makes your workout music hit harder.Results may vary depending on the individual but for optimal effects, another important thing is to take when fully rested.I made a homemade preworkout with this, instant coffee and equal. ( Instant coffee is not that great as it is so will probably try to make something with a different flavor next time lol)(Scooper not included)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beta-Alanine from BulkSupplements.com - Performance Boost with a Slight Tingle and Dosing Tips
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2023
Size: 83 Servings (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
As a fitness enthusiast, I have tried numerous supplements to boost my workouts, and beta-alanine from BulkSupplements.com truly stands out. This non-essential amino acid is a game changer when it comes to enhancing athletic performance. I've experienced increased endurance, greater strength gains, and improved overall workout intensity since I started using it.

BulkSupplements.com is a reliable and affordable source for high-quality supplements, making it easy for consumers to access the benefits of beta-alanine without breaking the bank. Their commitment to purity and transparency is commendable, providing a trustworthy option for those seeking to enhance their fitness journey.

Beta-alanine works by buffering lactic acid in your muscles, which allows you to push harder and longer during high-intensity workouts. It's a fantastic addition for those looking to break through plateaus or simply take their performance to the next level.

However, one thing to note is the tingling sensation, also known as paresthesia, that some users may experience. This is a harmless side effect caused by beta-alanine binding to nerve receptors, resulting in a temporary sensation. Personally, I find the tingling to be mild and manageable, and it dissipates quickly as my body adjusts.

That being said, the tingling sensation may be uncomfortable for some users. It's worth trying a lower dose initially, gradually increasing as your body adapts. A common dosing recommendation is to start with 2-3 grams per day, divided into smaller doses (e.g., 1 gram per dose), and then gradually increase to 4-6 grams per day, as tolerated. Alternatively, you can opt for a sustained-release formula, which may help minimize the tingling effect.

Very tingly & mentally stimulating, has me ready to go for the full duration of my workout. It works very quickly & is a great price for the amount of servings. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it doesn’t come with a scoop, but to me, this is the only pre workout supplement worth spending your money on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great brand, good product, MAKE SURE you get your dosing right
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2018
Size: 166 Servings (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Caution:
Taking this in large doses will cause mild to severe flushing and tingling of the skin, most commonly the forehead, arms and hands, or back. If you experience this, know that it's common, temporary, and you're going to be okay. But, most importantly, it is avoidable. Read the "how to take" section for more.

About the product:
Bulk Supplements is a great brand. Look at their average review across all their products. Few can compete. I've had no complaints with this product, and it came exactly as advertised, which has been true for all of my purchases from their line. Other products by this brand have been quality-tested by third party organizations like LabDoor, and all have exceeded their promises. One thing worth doing is explaining how to work with their products, so here's a short guide
-The bags use press-to-seal ziploc, which is not ideal for multiple accesses. I recommend transferring portions of the powder to a mason jar or similar container, using the bag for long-term storage.
-There is no scoop provided, because they don't do dosing. What IS provided is a measurement to concentration table. The label gives you measurements in increments of teaspoons (1tsp = 5ml). It's easy to miss and very handy.

How (and why) to take beta-alanine:
Take 3.2grams per day, taken as either four doses of 800mg or three doses of 1.1g (1100mg), spaced out by at least three hours. The time of day does not matter, and it is irrelevant to take it pre-, post-, or mid-workout. At any given time, it only matters if you have taken it consistently for a week or two. Take it in 800mg doses for one week before trying 1.1g doses to get your body used to it. It's been found that almost all people tolerate 800mg, but most will handle a slightly higher dose without the prickling feeling. I personally take 1.1g without noticeable effects. It takes one to two weeks to reach peak efficacy, and you will lose the performance benefits two to three weeks after you stop taking it. More information and the reasons for this dosing can be found below.

I do a meta-analysis of every supplement I consider taking. The information below is up to date via peer-reviewed, vetted studies sourced July 1st 2018.

The realistic, studied doses are 3-3.5 grams per day and ~6 grams per day. There has been no difference in results between the two, so my dosing recommendations will be targeted at and just above 3 grams per day. There is no reason to believe lower doses are ineffective, but they have not been studied. Both doses have been found to increase muscle concentration of carnosine and to improve performance in mid-high intensity, mid-high duration activities. Think long sprints, HIIT, swimming, and drop sets. Effect has been observed in general (think resistance training) activities, but it's too early for certainty.

Muscle carnosine levels have been found to be highly diet related, so supplementing is very unlikely to cause long-term change. Specifically, vegetarians (which implies vegans also - the significant aspect is the lack of meat in their diet) have chronically lower carnosine levels. It has not been studied, but it is simple to predict beta-alanine supplementation may be even more valuable to non-meat eating groups. Carnosine levels following the end of beta-supplementation have steadily reverted to baseline values across multiple studies. It's only effective while you take it.

At 800mg per dose, beta-alanine has consistently shown no prickling or flushing side effects. This number was chosen arbitrarily by researchers, and the only hard data about what doses WILL consistently cause side effects is anything 3g or more in a small time frame. Many will tolerate a larger (than 800mg) dose, but how much larger remains to be seen.

If you have any questions, you may reply to my comment and I will do my best to answer and make clear the limitations of my knowledge. The disturbing presence of naturalists, broscientists, and other homeopathic charlatans is something I'm willing to spend my time working against.
