Beta Alanine Slow Release

Yes, that is possible. This phenomenon is called paraesthesia and usually manifests itself as a temporary tingling or prickling sensation, often on the skin. Although this can sometimes be experienced as unpleasant, it is completely harmless.

Etixx Beta Alanine uses a slow release formula. This means that the beta alanine is gradually released into the body, which significantly reduces the chance of paraesthesia compared to classic beta alanine supplements. Nevertheless, it cannot be completely ruled out that some individuals are more sensitive to this and may still experience a mild tingling sensation.

To minimise this as much as possible, we recommend taking the tablets spread throughout the day and preferably during a meal. Especially when you are sensitive to paraesthesia, this can help to reduce the discomfort.

During high-intensity exercise, the body produces lactic acid, which is then broken down into lactate and acidic hydrogen ions (H+). An accumulation of these H+ ions causes the acidity level (pH) in the muscles to drop. When this happens, muscle function decreases and you may experience typical acidosis symptoms, such as a burning sensation, muscle stiffness, reduced strength and faster fatigue. The more intense the effort, the faster this process occurs.

Fortunately, the body has natural buffer systems that help counteract this acidification. An important muscle buffer is carnosine, a substance that helps to absorb excess H+ ions and thereby slow down the drop in pH levels in the muscles. Carnosine is built up from beta-alanine and histidine. Since histidine is generally present in sufficient quantities in the body, beta-alanine is the limiting factor. By taking additional beta-alanine through Etixx Beta Alanine Slow Release, the carnosine stores in the muscles can be increased. This improves the buffering capacity of the muscles, allowing acidification to be delayed and enabling you to sustain intensive efforts for longer. Since beta-alanine works through gradual build-up in the body, daily and prolonged intake is necessary to experience its effects.

For optimal results, we recommend:

• 4-week course: 4 x 2 tablets per day, or
• 8-week course: 2 x 2 tablets per day

Ideally, start 4 to 8 weeks before an important competition or intensive training period. In addition to targeted supplementation, a well-structured training programme, sufficient recovery and appropriate nutrition remain essential to delay muscle acidification for as long as possible.

To prevent muscle cramps, maintaining a good fluid balance is extremely important.
