Just ordered my bulk endurance stack of cm and ba. I was wondering how much beta alanine i should take. I will be taking 4g of cm twice a day. 1.6g of beta alanine twice a day seems like the standard dosage, but would it be better to use a higher dosage? Its not that expensive so I could use more. However I don't know how much, how to dose, the "tingling effects" ect...help me out
Oh yea...basic goals are to increase endurance for running + grappling

You're absolutely correct though, although if it's the first time going with beta-alanine, I'd recommend getting 200g-300g. It's not that expensive, and saves the money in case you decide you don't want to use it (at the end of using it). 200g lasts about 50 days @ 4g daily.I remember being relevant.

I have been using bulk BA...at 1/2t 2X/day...which I read equaled 2g 2X/day...so 4g total.
I got tingling for about a week..now nothing.
I found good strength increases and since I started using it (I am on a cut), I have stopped losing weight but still losing body fat (waist shrinking, weight stationary)Jim

I was doing 1.6g 4x/day - it was great, but as I worked up to that dose from 0.8g 4x/day, I got all-over body prickly/ichy feeling, rather than 'tingles', even after a few weeks of getting used to it.
However - I could completely avoid this by taking it AFTER a meal. A couple of times I thought I'd take it just before a meal and it would be the same - err no!
Take it on a full stomach and you will be fine.

Beta alanine is like glutamine in taste (ie, tasteless) . True story...I have some beta alanine right here.

Take a look on page 4 or 5 I believe for information regarding the syngergistic effects in IXL.
Basicall the BA gets absorbed rapidly by the GI track, gets in the blood quickly as well, but the transporters at the muscle cell level are only capable of taking in so much at a time. Naturally our bodies do not allow BA to stay a high level for a sustained amount of time. So overloading on BA will cause much of it to go to waste. To my knowledge, I recall reading that 2grams at rest is the optimal dose.
Hope this helps.

What about ba competition with taurine since they use hte same pathway int othe cell? Would dosing multiple times per day lead to a greater chance of taurine deficiency? I think the 1.6x3 dosing scheme shoudl suffice but everyone's different so experiment. Mixing in a protein powder is a good idea for convenience but has some drawbacks. If the dose of ba causes to much prickling sensation not much you can really do about it. Like others said it's tasteless so just mix in water whenever you need.
You can get 300g of BA at BAC for $12.50 and they have some other goodies too.Yes, there is indeed a deeper component to it all.
