Also question is, how long does beta alanine stay in your system?

The tingling sensation is a harmless side effect known as paresthesia [15]. It is not exactly known why this happens, but it is believed to be a result of the effects beta-alanine has on nerves. Some love it, some hate it, but either way, it is harmless and doesn't last long (average < 30 minutes).

Subsequently, question is, can I take creatine and beta alanine together? Because these two supplements use two different pathways to suppress fatigue and increase performance (ATP for creatine and carnosine for beta alanine), there is no reason why you can't take both. Creatine can be loaded, as the power benefits can be experienced in around a week compared to a month when not loaded.

Beside above, what are the side effects of beta alanine?

Safety and Side Effects Taking excessive amounts of beta-alanine may cause paraesthesia, an unusual sensation typically described as “tingling of the skin.” It's usually experienced in the face, neck and back of the hands. The intensity of this tingling increases with dosage size.

How often should you take beta alanine?
