Many ingredients are used in pre-workout products to increase your workout. Pre-workouts are popular for providing an energy boost because they contain a large amount of caffeine. You might experience skin tingling and itching if you have ever used an exercise prep-mix.
What’s the Deal?
Beta-Alanine is responsible for the tingling and itching sensations. This feeling is common in pre-workout supplements containing this ingredient. Beta-Alanine is responsible for severe paresthesia. Paresthesia is characterized by tingling, burning, itching, numbness and itchiness to the skin. This could be distracting during workouts and may cause irritation for some.
But, is this harming you?
No. It’s safe for you to experience the feeling of Beta-Alanine if it causes this sensation. This sensation is most commonly caused by Beta-Alanine when it’s taken in large doses, such as a bolus. To avoid the tingling sensation, you can divide your Beta-alanine intake into smaller amounts and distribute them throughout the day. If you are using pre-workout supplements, this is not possible. You can’t split the doses of each ingredient. These are the reasons I don’t like commercial pre-workout products.
