Why Preworkout causes tingling feeling?

I'm sure there are other people that have experienced this but when I take a preworkout sometimes I feel a tingling feeling around my body (face, hands). This only happens sometimes and I was just wondering if there was a certain ingredient that may cause this? Currently i'm taking C4 Extreme and I love it, and this feeling has happened with other preworkouts as well. I wouldn't think it's the caffeine because have had other sources or caffeine and it's never happened. Does it have to do with my diet before I take the preworkout? Would love to know if someone knew the answer. Thanks in advance!

It's the beta alanine. It's completely harmless. Beta alanine is a very effective ingredient as well.

Beta Alanine

EDIT: **** you ****s with your speedy replies.

^^^^^those

I had this happen with C4 and only C4. However, it was bad. Real bad. I broke out in a sweat in 30 degree weather and it felt like my blood itched. Everywhere. I definitely looked like a tweeker in desperate need of a fix and would have likely been arrested for possible DUI had I been pulled over on my way to the gym. Worst part, I didnt even take the full recommended dose. Though, between the itching and all I got in an awesome workout that day. I gave the rest to my buddy at the gym after that episode.

Its called paresthesia, its from the beta alanine, and its totally normal.

Never felt it with c4, then again I've never felt it with any pwo.

Studies done on Beta-Alanine show it is only effective when dosed like 4-5x per day for 1-1.5 grams per dose. It makes absolutely no sense for it to be in a PWO if you aren't considering taking it as a stand alone as well.

I speculate the tingling side-effect (which doesn't mean anything in terms of performance enhancement) is the reason companies put it in the product. This way the kids think "it's working brah!!".

Never had the tingles to that extent. I'm taking c4 at the moment and only just feel A slight tingle on 2 scoops. Only thing that I would say really made me tingle was the old jack3d.

Its from the beta alanine, you'll be fine.

Don't worry it diminishes over time 1 scoop of my pre workout with beta alanine in it use to drive me crazy after about six months I barely feel 3 scoops

Chances are its the BA and the tingles go away over time. I thought it was the best part.

I had the same problem for a while, came to find out my family has a curse of getting reactions to niacin too
almost the same as the beta tingles....but only on your head..annoying.
I still take products with either ingredients in it, I'm just more prepared now haha

for me its not beta alanine at all, I am currently taking pni prodigy with no beta alanine and it makes me wanna rip my skin off lol

Beta alanine and/or niacin will cause that
