Supplement Direct Beta Alanine
Hi,
Does anyone know what's the capacity of the included red scoop in the Supplement Direct beta alanine 250g refill bags? I bought 2 of them but the dosage isn't stated...

Thanks AConrad...are you taking it? What's your protocol like? I didn't know how much the scoop was and took 1 scoop in my pre/during shake and 1 scoop after. Do you also take it on non-training days?

The capacity is 3g in the red scoop. It's written on the packaging (serving size 1/2 scoop = 1.5g).
I usually take two doses of 2 to 3 g daily, nearly one full scoop.
I stack BA by Supplement Direct with Citrulline malate by the same brand and I am pleased by the combo. The citrulline malate tub is very sensitive to humidity though. It is delivered with a 3g scoop too.

I noticed that too. My recently delivered SD citrulline malate is chunky even when the package is sealed.

OMG! I didn't know that little red scoop had a capacity of 3g! That means I've been getting 9g of BA a day! (3g pre/3g during/3g post)! I thought I was getting 4.5g a day lol I guess I need to fill up the scoop half way...Wow...I'm actually disappointed now...9g per day and little to no tingles?! =/

Good lord. This is how supplements get labeled as "unsafe"

Should start within a few minutes. Depends on if you took it with food though.

Cool thanks.
I asked because I took BA for the first time a few mins ago and I felt the tingles a few mins after taking it (I wasn't sure if they were tingles or my imagination)

For me about 10mins. Carbs greatly reduce the tingles, but it is still working.
