Can I get away with taking this [NXlabs betasine]?

[Whiteheart]

Hey, I always wanted to try beta-alanine but I dont have a credit card so its hard for me to order something like purplewraath online. I was in gnc a few days ago and saw this product and Im wondering if I should give it a shot.

What do you guys think?

Sure... there's 101 ways to get away with doing illogical things. No Vitamin Shoppe or Vitamin World anywhere?

That said, I don't, nor do I care to find out what GNC stocks as far as BA products goes, but there has got to be cheaper choices.

You do realize that one bottle of Beatsine will last you only 14 days right? (and that's without the double dose for the first 6 days as they recommend on the label)

I've used betasine for three days now...
so far i'm still undecided about it. i agree with the science behind it however i don't know if this product is working for me yet.
i do feel a massive tingle tho

Three days is not long enough to reap the benefits.

Unless you get more and continue taking Betasine or another Beta-Alanine source beyond the 10 days that your first bottle will last you, you won't.

How long will it take to start noticing benefits?

Performance benefits typically occur in as little as two weeks, although some individuals will notice benefits within one week. As carnosine levels increase, the benefits will follow. The most dramatic results are generally experienced within the 3-4 week range but they don't stop there.

Recent research is now showing carnosine levels continue to increase for a minimum of 12 weeks which is why we recommend staying on beta-alanine for at least three months to optimize your carnosine levels.

Immediate benefits: Many users experience intense vasodilation/pumps from the very first dose of beta-alanine. This experience occurs because beta-alanine increases carnosine and carnosine is a powerful precursor in generating nitric oxide synthase (a group of enzymes necessary for making the powerful vasodilator nitric oxide).

If you really wanted Purple Wraath then go to Vitamin World if there is one around your area. However, Betasine is a fair product. Good ingredient profile and noticed a little increased. The itchy feeling and redness is certainly there.

I've never used it besides a few samples ... if you can get it cheap, go for it - though I'm not a big fan of Proprietary Blends and the fact that I know that the amount of Citrulline Malate in it is underdosed ... A bulk Beta-Alanine powder would be another option ...

Sure, it will probably be more costly but as long as it has a substantial dose of beta alanine you should get good results.

FYI you don't have to have a credit card to buy online. Many of the larger retailers take checks and/or paypal (all you need is a bank account) or money order (just need to go to a grocery store or post office with the cash)

or that green dot pre paid credit card....

I've been on betasine for about a week now. I know it's not long enough to see the results from it, but I do feel that tingly feeling all over my body when I do take it. It's kind of trippy, but at least I know it's doing something.

It's also been doing wonders for me in the "pumps" area. I've taken a bunch of NO pills before and never got a "perpetual pump"; this stuff keeps my muscles hard and dense throughout the day, not to mention my vascularity has gone up too. But one of the forum guys on here is right: I'm almost out in it's only been a week.
