1 serving = 3 g of powderDirections: 1–3 servings a dayLabel as of 23 Apr 2024 · NIH DSLD

Verdict

3–9 g a dayas the label directs · studies use 3.2–6.4 g/day of beta-alanine

Effective dose

Taken as the label directs (1–3 servings a day, 3 g each), it gives 3–9 g a day; studies use 3.2–6.4 g/day. The least the directions give (3 g) is below that range; the most reaches it. The most the directions give is above the range studies use.

One serving gives 3 g, so reaching the low end of what studies use (3.2 g) takes 1.1 servings a day; it ranks 15th of 19 beta-alanine supplements here by dose.
