What the evidence actually says

Beta-alanine is the rate-limiting building block of carnosine, a buffer that soaks up the hydrogen ions which accumulate when you work hard enough to feel the burn. More muscle carnosine means you hold the pace slightly longer before that burn forces you to stop.

The benefit is specific to a window: efforts lasting roughly one to four minutes. High-rep sets taken near failure, 400–1500 m running, rowing pieces, hard intervals, the back half of a brutal circuit. For a heavy triple it does essentially nothing, because a triple never reaches the acidity beta-alanine buffers.

Dose, and more importantly time

This is the supplement people most often waste money on, because they treat it as something you take before a session. It is not. Muscle carnosine loads slowly: 3.2–6.4 g a day for at least four weeks, and it keeps climbing beyond that. A single scoop before training does nothing measurable on the day. If you take a pre-workout only on training days, you are dosing beta-alanine three or four times a week when the protocol calls for every day.

The tingling

Paraesthesia — the pins-and-needles feeling across the face, neck and hands — is harmless, dose-dependent, and unrelated to whether the product is working. Splitting the daily dose into portions under about 1.6 g, or using a sustained-release form, removes most of it. Plenty of people read the tingle as proof the supplement is potent. It is only proof that you took a large dose at once.
