I recall you commenting on Beta-Alanine most likely having a benefit when taken around the workout time. I don’t recall, but I don’t think you commented on whether the peri-workout benefit could be additionally benefited by taking beta-alanine at separate times throughout the day as well in addition to the peri-workout dose, as opposed to the just the traditional loading protocol for beta-alanine which requires a loading period to increase intramuscular carnosine content.
I was reading this month’s Muscle Mag and it said indeed there was benefit to peri-workout beta-alanine, (i think the dose was 3 grams fyi) but it did not reference any studies or give an explanation as to why the peri-workout dose was effective. I’m curious as to how this would work if research has shown that it takes 3 weeks, or something like that, to increase carnosine content within the muscle. I know Beta-Alanine is in Anaconda, and although you didn’t formulate Anaconda, you did comment about peri-workout effectiveness of Beta-Alanine, so I was wondering if you could give your current thoughts on how it may work exactly and if additional beta-alanine at other times throughout the day would be beneficial and or necessary.
By the way I only posted this here and not in supplements and nutrition because it is based on something I recall you commenting about. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

I’m honestly going from in-the-trenches experience with this one. I definetely notice an immediate increase in work capacity and intra-workout recovery when taking Anaconda. And Charles Poliquin did comment on how beta-alanine and creatine do have immediate effects. And he’s also speaking from experience. Studies are nice, but they are often lagging behind real world experimentation.

Exactly. Great to hear this coach. Thanks for the reply.
So as a follow up, do you take or currently recommend to take beta-7 or something like it at other times in the day? If and when you get anecdotal evidence on the subject, please let me know your dosing protocol. Thanks.
