No matter your fitness goals, Beta-Alanine is a must-have supplement. Once absorbed, this product creates a natural buffer called carnosine which, like creatine, is stored in muscle. Carnosine neutralizes excess acid in the muscle that is produced during intense exercise. The acid buildup during exercise can be responsible for fatigue, so if the acid is buffered, you'll notice improved performance.
Beta-Alanine also stimulates GABA (Wikipedia.org/GABA), which helps you relax and induce sleep after training. Therefore, Beta-Alanine aids muscle recovery. Don't worry about taking it before exercise though; the natural hormone stimulation during training will prevent the relaxation effect until after training.
Take 3 grams of Beta-Alanine immediately post-workout OR to aid sleep, take 3-4 grams 30 minutes before bedtime.
