Beta Alanine, okay or not okay?

[MoonRocket]

Many pre workout supplements include beta Alanine. I used it in my pre PCA days because I felt it did help with the workout intensity, particularly those exercises that are short...I.e. weight lifting. Anyway, I liked the additional energy release and the slight tingly feeling when using this supplement.

Does anyone have any hard science that demonstrates it's not good to use when being treated for prostate cancer?

Overview

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid. Most amino acids are building blocks of proteins, but beta-alanine is used to make other chemicals in the body.

Because beta-alanine can be made by the body, it doesn't need to be consumed in food. It is a part of carnosine and other chemicals that can affect muscle size and performance.

People use beta-alanine for athletic performance and improving physical performance in elderly adults. It is also used for symptoms of menopause, age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.

Don't confuse beta-alanine with the similarly named alpha-alanine. These are not the same.
