Beta-Alanine Powder | 500 g | German Elite Nutrition

Beta-Alanine Powder by German Elite Nutrition

Do you train seriously and want to create your own pre-workout? Beta-alanine is one of the best-known individual ingredients in sports nutrition. This powder from German Elite Nutrition provides 2500 mg of beta-alanine per 2.5-gram serving, supplemented with vitamin B6. A 500-gram bag provides approximately 200 servings, so it will last you a long time. It is a product for athletes who want to determine their own intake instead of using a ready-made mix.

What beta-alanine is

Beta-alanine is an amino acid that your body can produce itself and that is also found in animal-based foods, such as meat and fish. Beta-alanine is often offered individually in sports nutrition, so you can decide how much to take and what to combine it with. There are no permitted health claims for beta-alanine, so we only describe the amino acid here as an ingredient and explain what it is.

About the tingling sensation

Many people who use beta-alanine for the first time notice a slight tingling or prickling sensation on the skin, usually on the face, neck, or hands. This is called paresthesia and is a well-known and harmless effect. The sensation is temporary and disappears on its own, usually within an hour. The intensity depends on the amount you take at once. If you want to reduce the tingling, divide the daily dose into several smaller servings instead of taking it all at once. This makes the intake more pleasant without having to change the total amount. So it is not a sign that something is wrong, but simply how your body reacts to the amino acid.

Supplemented with vitamin B6

Each serving contains 0.21 mg of vitamin B6, or 15% of the reference intake. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Unlike beta-alanine, vitamin B6 does have a range of permitted health claims, which can be found in full further down the page. It is a logical addition to a product used around your training, and it makes this powder just a little bit more than just an individual ingredient.

Pure powder that dissolves easily

The beta-alanine in this product has a purity of more than 99% and is flavorless. The powder has a fine texture and dissolves easily in water, a shake, or a pre-workout drink. No fillers, colorings, flavorings, preservatives, or magnesium stearate have been added, so you get exactly what you choose. The product is vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free. With the included measuring scoop, you can quickly measure your 2.5-gram serving so you do not have to weigh it. Many athletes use beta-alanine around their training or as part of their pre-workout, and it combines well with, for example, creatine or citrulline in a homemade stack. Because the powder is loose and has no flavor, you decide what to mix it with. This makes it suitable for athletes who create their own mix instead of buying a ready-made pre-workout. For those who prefer not to consume extra flavors or sweeteners, a neutral powder is a pleasant base. In short: a neutral, pure beta-alanine powder with a bag that lasts for months.
