Is MRM Nutrition Beta-Alanine underdosed?
Verdict
1.6 g a dayas the label directs · studies use 3.2–6.4 g/day of beta-alanine
Below research doseTaken as the label directs (1 serving a day, 1.6 g each), it gives 1.6 g a day; studies use 3.2–6.4 g/day. Beta-Alanine builds up in the body through daily use over weeks; a lower daily amount still builds up, just more slowly.
One serving gives 1.6 g, so reaching the low end of what studies use (3.2 g) takes 2 servings a day; it ranks 19th of 19 beta-alanine supplements here by dose.
To reach the research dose. It would take 2 servings a day (2 scoops), 3.2 g, to reach the 3.2 g studies use, more than the label's directions, which allow 1 serving a day.
