Icon3 Beta-Alanine "The Next Creatine"

http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle....dra?id=1196017


Thoughts? The update was a nice boost to credibility. It's always hard to read an article by people selling the subject item though.

I'll have some interesting info on this either later tonight, or tomorrow. Have done some extensive reading on it. It's better than creatine, in the clinical trials anyway.

Well, that didn't take much persuasion. Wanna buy some property in Florida?

I've got an order from True Protein that should be on my doorstep when I get home tonight that includes some beta alanine. I'll start on it tomorrow and report my thoughts in a few weeks.

Don't you have to take that stuff like 8 times a day for it to work or is that just marketing hype for Beta-7? I thought they were saying that you need to take it every couple of hours in order to keep it in your system otherwise it's ineffective.

That = same as loading creatine, which = money-wasting bullshit. Something DOES make beta more efficient, but it's not bombarding the system with it.

That's interesting because you can buy bulk powders reasonably priced but that Beta-7 shit is a little pricy. I'll have to wait until you post more KK or if I get the time I'll do some digging myself. I'll admit I don't know a whole lot about this stuff.

I'm certainly no expert on it, either, but this is what Doug from True Protein says:
some use it 3-4 times per day spread out. we recommend trying it pre workout at 2-3g and work your way up to 5-6g or you can take the 5g spread out 3 times per days or 2.5g pre and post workout. just experiment with it. it can make you feel like you are crawling out of your skin a bit if you take too much.

thanks,
doug
KK, why don't you quit toying with my emotions and tell me what it is that makes beta more efficient?

I'd be interested to hear what others think about this as well. I read the T-Nation article a little while back but figured it was just marketing hype.
