Beta-Alanine - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects | Examine.com
This is an outstanding article about the benefits of beta-alanine. I have been taking small doses for quite some time, but I plan to double my doses after reading this article. Body-builders are the people who use it primarily, but I am convinced that ordinary people can benefit also.
First, beta-alanine builds muscle, and everyone needs to be in some kind of reasonable shape physically. Secondly, beta-alanine is a fountain of youth supplement because it delays the effects of aging on muscles and probably other body parts as well. In fact, the article mentions that it reduces the rate of telomere shortening, and this is directly related to the length of a person's life. Thirdly, it strengthens back muscles, and this is very significant for anyone who has ever had back problems.
On the downside, however, beta-alanine and taurine are antagonistic to each other. If you happen to take too much beta-alanine, it could cause a depletion of taurine which affects muscle energy. If taurine levels get too low, you could have muscle cramps. If your taurine level is too high, though, you could get jitters and heart problems the same as too much caffeine. Moderation in everything is the key.
