Studies show that taking it consistently for about four weeks can result in a higher <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17690198\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resistance to fatigue<\/a>, allowing you to work out harder for longer.*<\/p>\n<p>That, in turn, may help support your individual fitness goals, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-is-muscle-hypertrophy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more muscle<\/a>, less fat, and\u00a0greater endurance. As with any supplement, knowing when to take beta-alanine can help you get the most from it.*<\/p>\n<h2>Should I Take Beta-Alanine Close to My Workout?<\/h2>\n<p>Some supplements have an \u201cacute\u201d effect, meaning they have a direct benefit soon after ingesting them. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/caffeine-and-its-effects-on-exercise-performance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caffeine<\/a> produces a sharp increase in focus in as little as 15 minutes for many people.<\/p>\n<p>Beta-alanine is different. \u201cIt can take four to six weeks for beta-alanine to build up to sufficient levels in your body to make a noticeable difference in your workouts,\u201d says Trevor Thieme, CSCS. As such, there\u2019s no need (or any short-term benefit) to take it right before a workout.<\/p>\n<p>Also, unlike caffeine, which works primarily on your central nervous system, beta-alanine works in your muscle cells, combining with histidine to form carnosine. Carnosine helps buffer the buildup of acid that causes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/feel-the-burn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cburning\u201d sensation<\/a> during intense exercise. The result: an increase in muscular endurance.*<\/p>\n<h2>When to Take Beta-Alanine<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-178537\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/06103726\/when-to-take-beta-alanine-600-drink.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><img style=\"font-size: 16px;\" role=\"presentation\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Taking beta-alanine is a long-term investment. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really matter when you take beta-alanine during the day as long as you take it,\u201d says Thieme. In the morning with your coffee, in the evening with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/is-protein-powder-good-for-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protein<\/a>, in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/key-ingredients-your-pre-workout-drink-should-have\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-workout supplement<\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n<p>Just be consistent, and you can expect a noticeable improvement in your workout performance a few weeks later.*<\/p>\n<h2>Is Beta-Alanine the Same as Pre-Workout?<\/h2>\n<p>Beta-alanine itself isn\u2019t a pre-workout supplement, since it doesn\u2019t provide any acute effects and you can take it at any point in the day. However, it\u2019s a common ingredient in pre-workout formulations \u2014 such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/energize-pre-workout?ICID=BLOG_ENERGIZE&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Energize<\/a> \u2014 because it ensures you get your daily serving.*<\/p>\n<p>You might also experience a common, yet harmless side effect when starting supplementation: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/beta-alanine-itch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beta-alanine tingle<\/a>. Often described as an itch or a mild \u201cpins and needles\u201d poking under the skin, the beta-alanine tingle is a temporary sensation that usually starts in the neck, shoulders, and arms about 15 minutes after you take it.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t get used to the tingling feeling, you can minimize it by simply splitting up your doses throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
