Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that is used by muscle cells to synthesize carnosine.* Carnosine is a dipeptide (beta-alanine plus histidine) that functions as a buffer for the hydrogen ions (acid) produced during strenuous exercise, thus helping to maintain optimum muscular pH.* NOW Sports uses CarnoSyn®, a proprietary form of beta-alanine that has been clinically tested and shown to increase muscle carnosine content, allowing muscles to work harder and longer during intense exercise.* NOW® Sports Beta-Alanine is backed by scientific research demonstrating that CarnoSyn® supplementation results in delayed muscle fatigue and rapid recovery time, thereby helping you attain your strength and endurance training goals.* Natural Alternatives International (NAI) is the owner of registered trademark CarnoSyn®. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

The Best

Great product! Great results!
First things first, very good price for a very good product! Its really great! It definitely helps push me through my workouts. I tend to go to the gym frequently, I would not say I am a body builder, but I have years of exercise and experience with supplements. This is a little gem I recently discovered and I couldn’t be happier. I can really tell a difference when I am nearing the end of a set when I usually gas out. The Beta Alanine really helps you push through and endure to the end! It can be used for all types of exercise(aerobic and anaerobic). It will cause your face and extremities to become tingly. I would suggest starting with a half serving if you have never felt this tinge because it may be scary to some, but it is a harmless side effect. My only complaint is I feel as if it doesn’t mix very well. You can almost never get it to blend in completely, there seems to always be particles floating around. It is not a big deal, but it would be nice if it blended better. It is truly tasteless, I mix mine with gatorade or my protein shake. It can be mixed with another drink without affecting the test. Very good product, I’d buy it again, and recommend it to anyone looking to push their workout to the next level!

Great Price, Great Product, But Where’s The Scoop?
I purchased this beta alanine powder to save on the ridiculous amount of money that I was spending on pre-workouts. I have recently completed a lot more research on training and nutrition for muscle hypertrophy work (building muscle mass) and I am now convinced that beta-alanine, creatine, and protein powder are the only three supplements that should be seriously considered for maximizing bodybuilding results while saving money. The rest of the products on the market are totally optional and won’t do you any good if you’re not focusing on your training and nutrition first. The same could actually be said for beta alanine, creatine, and protein powder, but at least there is scientific evidence for these three supplements that actually proves their effectiveness. I have a 3.2g measuring scoop left over from one of my old pre-workouts that I use to measure out a scoop of this per day. I still drink a post-workout shake because of how delicious it is, so I’ll usually just put my creatine monohydrate and beta alanine in that same shake, get my daily dose of all three, and call it a day. I’ve never been stronger or more vascular in my entire life – and this is without the other ridiculously-priced supplements on the market. I’ve been taking beta alanine for a while (whether separately or included in a pre/post-workout), so it’s hard to judge the “results” that I am getting from this product. Instead, I trust the scientific evidence behind its effectiveness and, at such a much more affordable price than I was paying for my monthly pre and post-workouts, I think this is a wise investment. It should easily last me upwards of four-five months. The only reason why this review has 4 stars instead of 5 is because this product does not come with a measuring scoop and the way the bottle is shaped makes it difficult to actually scoop out the beta alanine easily without getting your fingers covered in it. I believe a wider-mouth top and an included measuring scoop would warrant an easy 5-star review.

Excellent for only the experienced.
If you are looking for strength and stamina look no further. Most combo products that you buy these days (Assault, Recon, and the like all have THIS product in it). This isn’t some hooka hooka bush extract that many companies will throw on labels to baffle the consumer; with hope to confuse them into believing that their mysterious concoction works. What works? Creatine, Beta-Alanine, BCAA’s and caffeine (that’s it guys). If you are paying for anything else, your getting ripped off. You stack Beta Alanine with creatine with the recommended amounts, you will become monkey strong! I cycle this stack and I can tell you that it is far from placebo effect. Much research has been done to support beta alanine claims as well. The problem with taking a proprietary blends is that you might only take them on days that you work out and only maybe twice, before and after a workout. This is no bueno with beta alanine! You need to take this stuff several times a day, every day. It is not like creatine where 5 grams a day is just fine. Nope, you have to take this 4 -6 times a day. At first you will get these prickly sensations on your face/ arms/ neck, etc. Weird, but a normal side effect of Beta Alanine initially. To circumvent this, take 1/2 the recommended dose on the bottle, but double your frequency on taking the supplement. Your body will get use to it, and or you will just ignore the sensation. I am kinda strange, but I kinda like the feeling. It usually take about 3-4 weeks of continuous consumption to reach the full effect of the product, but watch out when you do! I would recommend this to experienced lifters, power lifters, bodybuilders, and others that are trying to break their plateaus. I would tell the inexperienced lifter, or someone who just got back into the gym (less than 6 months) to hold off on your purchase because your body is still acclimating to the stresses of the workouts. Be careful though, if you exceed what your tendons and ligaments are able to handle, you might get tendonitis (especially if you are a middle aged adult going for PR’s n’ stuff). Try it out, you will see!!! Oh yea, this amount is a long term supply, not just a 30 day supply. I usually buy two bottles at a time.

Awesome
I have used N.O. Explode, 1MR, C3, Red Bull, Spike, Endorush and so on and so on for over 8 years. I go to the gym 5+ days a week religiously and lift heavy and hard. I have always loved drinking this stuff before a workout to get me jacked up (oh, I played with Jakd 3D too) because that mixed with some carbs and great music makes for a good workout every time. Lately though, I have been starting to take a good look at the things I put into my body. Anyone reading this…..look at one of the labels of your pre-workout drink. You can probably identify only a handful of the components that make up what you drink. What the hell is the rest of that stuff that you not only can’t pronounce but, really, what are all those chemicals for? I don’t know, either. But I do know that one of the main ingredients is Beta Alanine. This one of the main components that gives you that hyped up feeling and can make you feel like you skin is itching underneath. This is one of the main things that puts your workouts in overdrive and it is all natural! I mix 2 tsp of this with 2 tsp Arginine, 2 tsp Creatine Monohydrate, 400 mg Caffeine and a scoop of Gatorade powder. Buying all of this will last about 6 months and contains NONE of those funky ass chemicals that (for me) is questionable. NOW supplements have also been around for quite some time and I will pick a tried and true company every time. I highly recommend this product and please try my recipe! I am also posting this review on the NOW Arginine purchase I made. By the way…….I saved about $40.00 a month by switching to this blend instead of the others.

Not sure it works like the liquid MCT does
I’m a big fan of MCT oil, and have been using the Now brand liquid in my bulletproof coffee for a couple of years. Decided to try these softgels for when I travel, since keeping a container of oil in my suitcase isn’t ideal. When I put a spoonful of the liquid in my coffee, I can quickly feel the “buzz” of energy from the MCT oil. I’ve tried taking 1, 2, or 3 of these softgels and nothing seems to happen. Now Foods is a brand I trust, so I believe them when they say there’s MCT oil in here, but just not sure it’s digesting and being used by my body the same way as the liquid they sell. Doesn’t make me feel bad or off when I take them, just doesn’t give me the pleasant energy that the liquid does. I can’t tell a difference when I take these vs not taking them at all.

Excellent source of mental /heart energy.
Great quality MCT as they make themselves known after taking them by the quick mental and physical energy after just a half hour. 👍

効果が出るかは自分次第
健康診断で引っかかったので、運動不足の解消と食生活改善に取り組む補助的な役割で購入。運動は毎日20分自宅で自重トレーニング。食事は昼食はダイエットプロテインに置き換え。毎食事後にMCT2粒摂取。その後健康診断は受けてませんが、２ヶ月ほどでおなかがへこみました。どれが効いてるかわかりません。が、これも一因だと勝手に思っています。
