HigherPower now BodyBuilding.com BETA ALANINE Plus

[RobNyc]

Just bought this http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bo...nine-plus.html
And wanted to know if anyone else is or has taken it.

I currently took 1 serving this morning (1 pill), but directions says take 1 serving 2 to 3 times daily.
Now I am trying to figure out how many minutes before working out should I take my 2nd pill of the day?
And when do I take my 3rd pill as well ?

Thanks in advance

Meh.

[RaginAzN]

you need to take 6 pills in order to get at least 3.2g of it so 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills before you workout.

[RaginAzN]

Meh.

My sentiment exactly

Damn really

[snorkelman]

That's why most people who supplement with BA just buy a bulk powder and add a scoop to their pre and post workout shakes

You need what... 3.2g daily i think. I recommend taking 6 pills per day of the product in question. If it were me, i'd take 3 when i get up, and 3 with dinner. No need to "time" BA around a workout or anything, you're looking for saturation here. And iirc saturation takes around 4-6 weeks.

Exactly what [point] are you referring to? I'm not going to read his whole anecdotal and product-pushing review lol.

Well its a review from BB.com on a supplement made by bb.com,

Don't read any material on the bb.com front page. It's crap, as evidenced by that link. Beta Alanine is great, but the guy reviewing it has no idea what it does or how much he should be taking.

[RobNyc]

So I should take the Beta-Alanine powder instead?

The reason I am taking this is for a replacement of NO(Caffeine), but I also read somewhere 30-45mins before working out 1 cup of coffee is good to burn off fat but no more than 3x a week.

just got 1000g BA for 33$. supp 3g a day on workout days, 2g from WF. 3g am 3g pm off days. should last me almost a year

Maybe this pill only has 583mg of B-A if its going to work differently?
What is the recommended dosage of B-A the body requires?
I know the powder's seem to provide 2g pre-workout

Many people here will recommend a range of 4-6 grams per day, but they fail to tell you to work your way up. An example of dosing performed in studies is daily doses consisting of 2.4 g/day during the first 2 days, 3.6 g/day during the subsequent 2 days, and from then on 4.8 g/day until the end of the supplementation.

This. Also, the ratings mean nothing, so do the awards.


I feel like everytime this is said, it's like telling a child that Santa isnt real

Exactly 3.2g is the studied dose

I've chatted a few times BB (diff ppl) and to see what they recommend and they say follow the label instructions.
Why would the label on this recommend only 3 pills a day?

BB.com has demonstrated on many occasions that they don't know what they're talking about regarding various subjects. The articles on the front page are a prime example of this.

^^ That's advice someone gives when they do not know the answer. Many people do not understand appropriate dosing.

This is not to mention that labels are not always the best place to look for your situation. Look at how many creatine supps STILL give crap advice like avoiding citrus. Look at how many low dosage fish oil caps recommend just one cap per day.
