Why Does Pre-Workout Make Me Tingly?

One of the most common questions we get asked is, “Why does pre-workout make me feel tingly?” The culprit behind this side-effect is an ingredient called Beta-Alanine. Let’s dive into it!

What’s Beta-Alanine?

- It’s a non-essential amino acid

- It helps increase carnosine levels in your muscles, which is responsible for reducing fatigue during intense workouts

Why do I feel tingly?

- The tingling feeling (medically called paresthesia) happens when beta-alanine binds to nerve receptors under the skin

- It’s most common in the face, neck, shoulders, and hands

- It normally kicks in 15-20 minutes after taking your pre-workout supplement

Should I be concerned?

Nope! It’s a totally normal, harmless reaction to your nerves feeling a buzz from the Beta-alanine. It’s actually a sign that it’s working and normally fades somewhere between 30-60 minutes after consumption.
