Looks like a solid product IMO.
Alright then if i were you i would just purchase it bulk from BN
around 35 bucks for 500 grams, just take half a teaspoon twice a day= about 4,500 mg.
I belive the NAC dosage is a similar constraint in Australia, but so far we've had no issues bringing it in.
The effective dose for beta-alanine is 3.2 to 6.4 grams per day. IntraXCell has 4grams per dose.
As the blend is proprietary I can't comment on specific dose. However I can say this. Looking at the label, ingredients are listed as
2XCell Blend: 4,202mg
(Beta-Alanine (4g), N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid).
Given that beta-alanine takes up 4grams of that, I think you would have a solid argument with Icelandic customs that the NAC wouldn't really be anymore than 100mg.
Have you had issues with importation of products with NAC in the past?

800x3 would be cutting it low. Also, beta-alanine is virtually tasteless and mixes easily - no need for capsules IMO. Shoot for 4-6g beta-alanine.
I would go with bulk supplies for beta-alanine. That's how I'm doing it now, at ~4g of b-a daily. So far, I prefer buying beta-alanine in bulk as opposed to buying it in a product.

Yes, that dosage should be fine by "itself." Anything more you'll need L-Histidine to compensate for the bodies demands to form L-Carnosine

Any idea wh ycertain countries limit the dose of NAC to only 100mg? Is there some study they are referencing for this dose?
If you follow the directions and take 3 caps 3x a day. You should be fine and you'll be getting a total of 7200 mg or you could try 2 caps 3x a day for 4800 mg. If you bought them please tell us your results. I never heard of 8-Ball Nutrition before now, curious on their quality. Thanks!

3 caps = 800mg of beta-alanine according to the label. It would take 27 caps a day to equal 7200mg.
dwm230000,
Oops! Sorry about that, miss read the label on the site. I find the dose a little low IMO. Any info on quality from them?

I agree with you. The dose is very low when you consider the doses of beta-alanine that have been shown effective. In the end, you are paying $17.50 for what is basically 72 grams(800mg x 90 servings) of beta alanine and some electrolytes.
I wonder if it comes with MJG...
The dosage in Man Body Octane works well for me and I'm a bigger dude. It comes out to about 3.2 grams divided over two daily servings. Look for my log on it shortly :)
Take muscle blast from SNI (Nutrition Global LLC). It is carried by a few sellers including vitamin shoppe (where, incidentally, i work). It is an expensive habit, but works great, especially in conjunction with creatine or carosine, from my understanding. The dosage on the bottle is high though. All you need is two caps twice daily to get 3g beta alanine, 600mg l-histadine and some C, B6, and Bioprene for absorbtion and facilitation. I'm going to up my dose to 6 caps a day, but i'm seeing results with 4...the label, however says 8. Good luck.
On the topic of Carnosine synthesis. I'm not sure the body actually manufactures carnosine out of these aminos to much of an extent. Recently i've done some second-hand research and I think taking them blocks the breakdown of Carnosine more or less, although they do have other functions as well. That is why Carnosine supplementation would have a synergystic effect.

Bulk ba 1.5g 2xper day works for me.Will i get better results if i take more?
[QUOTE=supphead;161521201]Bulk ba 1.5g 2xper day works for me.Will i get better results if i take more?[/QUOTE]
Quite possibly yes. I would probably try it 3 times per day. But how much if any benefit it will exert will depend on a number of factors. But generally speaking it should especially given your weight.
