beta alanine makes me really tired. the first time i took it, it made me introversion, and sleepy. now i took it two times to fall asleep and it works quite good. even better then gaba. any explanations ? or is it normal ?

i get the same, although I took it only two times... anybody else?

I searched the tubes for more anecdotes of this occurrence and I found only one.
Maybe it's something we are combining it with? I get a yawn attack when I do ~3g. Luckily it doesn't last for long, and maybe it's only the first times. I'll keep reporting.

well, i stopped taking it. for me it seemed to have no improvement on workout.

Isn't it supposed to have all sorts of long-term good health effect? Carnosine and all? I mean, beyond improving your workout sets.

dont know.wikipedia says it increases carnosine and because of this should decrease fatigue..

I have to give it to you: the type of contribution you make is really in line with your user name.

Beta-Alanine is a glycine-receptor agonist, which is in turn, an inhibitory receptor. Which is why a lot of people report feeling 'tired' or 'sleepy' on it.

Also causes low BP. Dosing is iffy. But if dosed properly it has positive effects.

That's interesting, thanks.
I'll take it before bed. I want the long term effects, not so much the pre-workout.
