Is Preworkout supposed to make you itchy?
“Beta-alanine binds and activates specific type of receptors in certain skin neurons. Activation of these neurons causes the sensations of burning, itching, and tingling.” Although beta-alanine is common in pre-workouts, another ingredient that’s less prevalent but can still cause an unpleasant side effect is niacin.
How do you stop itching from pre-workout?
The main strategy is to split up your doses, Reimers advises. He suggests taking smaller amounts throughout the day instead of taking one large dose just before hitting the gym. This should significantly reduce the beta-alanine tingling you experience. You can also try reducing your dosage.
