If you've ever felt that tingly or itchy sensation after drinking your pre-workout supplement, you've experienced something called "Paresthesia". This feeling is actually harmless to us, but can come as quite a surprise if you're not expecting it. If taking a high dose, the feeling can be pretty uncomfortable. And at lowers doses, it will be fairly mild. Some users report that they like the feeling because it makes it clear to them that the supplement is working. But others, perhaps due to a higher sensitivity, or too high a dose, the feeling can be far too uncomfortable to deal with.
How does your pre-workout supplement do this? Which ingredient(s) in specific?
Carnosyn (Beta Alanine)
Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid naturally found in our bodies. In our muscles, it binds with histidine to form muscle carnosine (Hence the brand name Carnosyn). Muscle carnosine is the main buffering agent that works in our muscles to fight off, or neutralize the ions(hydronium) that lead to muscle fatigue and failure. By upping the amount of carnosine in our muscles, we can benefit from an increase in endurance at high level performance, and accelerated recovery. The tingling sensation comes from the nerves beneath our skin being activated at a higher rate, due to the beta alanine attaching itself to them.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
The B-Vitamin complex in our bodies primary function is correlated with digesting the food we consume. By doing so, they are the major players in our bodies production of energy. The sensation that we feel due to a high dose of Niacin is known as a "flush". This flush arises from the Niacin in our body causing small blood vessels to open up, especially near the surface of the skin.
Do I Have To Endure The Discomfort?
The tingling sensation is just unbearable for some people. But the problem is, a huge majority of the products contain at least 1 or both of these itch inducers. If this is you, your best way to approach these will be at a turtle speed. Start a smaller than the recommended scoop size, and slowly work your way up as you feel comfortable enough to do so.
