"6d BETA-ALANINE SR CARNOSYN®" contains 800 mg of beta-alanine per tablet. Studies have shown that the beta-alanine in the "6d BETA-ALANINE SR CARNOSYN®" tablets is more effective at increasing muscle carnosine stores because of the gradual release in the body, especially when the beta-alanine is taken with a meal. Thanks to these sustained release tablets, the annoying skin tingling (paresthesia) doesn't occur, in most athletes, after ingestion of 2 tablets (1600 mg) at the same time. If a beta-alanine powder or "standard" capsules / tablets are used, symptoms of paresthesia already occur at doses starting from 800 mg.
In summary, the "6d BETA-ALANINE SR CARNOSYN®" is ideal supplement for all athletes that have to perform sustained high intensity efforts lasting 0,5-10 minutes. These types of maximal efforts occur in track and field events, rowing and swimming, but also during prolonged endurance events such as road cycling (e.g. steep climb or final of a race). Also, team sports athletes such as football players, who have to perform repeated high intensity sprints during a game, can reap the benefits of beta-alanine supplementation.
