Hi am a female college athlete. 20 yrs of age and i’m a heptathalon and sprinter. Wanted to know if taking beta-alanine and/or L-Arginine is safe and if i’m tested would i test positive for any banned substance under NCAA rules?
I would recommend Beta-alanine over L-Arginine, but both are safe and will not cause you to test positive for anything banned. L-Arginine is a common amino acid found in meat and many other foods and Beta-alanine, while not one of the 20 primary amino acids, is still just an amino acid (albeit a beta amino acid rather than an alpha amino acid).
