Beta Alanine

Azhar

Hey folks. Do you any of you take beta alanine supplements? I read that team sky are incorporating this in to their diet and wanted to know if you any of you peeps take it? Does it work and would you recommend it? Thinking of buying some to help me with my cycling.

Not if you pay by card.

If you pay by cash you'll climb 0.003% faster. Which could be the difference between 97th and 98th place in a sportive!

Do you mean the same Team Sky with world class cyclists? The ones that compete against other world class cyclists who are all tweaked to 95% of their physical potential where 0.25% improvement could give an edge? Do you see where I'm going with this?
