Podium Beta Alanine Powder, Endurance Support, Unflavored, 60 Servings

The packaging is great. Looks cool/retro, easy to handle, easy to scoop. 0 complaints. The 60 servings is based on the recommended intake - so it might be less than two months worth if you're aiming for more per day. I usually stick to the labels of supplements though, because you get a lot of these key nutrients in food, just not at the amount to achieve goals, hence this product. Beta Alanine definitely helps me with muscle fatigue, especially towards the end of a workout when each exercise before hand takes its toll. I personally don't feel any additional 'energy' boost though, with this or other beta alanine supplements manufacturers. I do like how well it dissolves, even in cold water. No taste, no grit.. perfect for throwing in your water bottle before getting into your workout, and drinking along the way. Based on metabolism, you might prefer to drink it 30 minutes prior though. Overall, I am really happy with Podium's Beta Alanine supplement. It seems to work well for me, and mixes perfectly into any drink. I would highly recommend this supplement!

If you like a good niacin flush you likely will think Beta Alanine isn't kicking as hard... but it is working. Whenever I accidentally buy a cheap or discounted pre-workout I usually find they lack beta alanine- a more serious and pricey ingredient... but now I can boost any of my powders to really get the pumps. Yes, it does give you a flush feeling, to some even itchy. That is how you know you have enough in your system. I have never found it unpleasant and I really believe it boosts interval training or similar high impact short burst type exercise. I am so glad this product exists as it allows you to custom stack your ingredients to get exactly what you are looking for. Creatine, beta alanine, l-citrulline, l-arginine is a good place to start.

Doesn’t taste like anything, I put in my water. It gives me headaches, which is odd because I bought this due to other reviews saying it doesn’t give headaches.

At the time of ordering, this 60 serving tub is $24.99. Beta alanine is the pre-workout ingredient that cuases vascular dialation which leads to improved cardio. This is a great small tub of 60 servings. No fillers or other ingredients makes this great if you mix your own formula of pre-workout or add this to your water for intra-workout. I'd recommend you get this if you bring your supplements to the gym as the small tub takes little space. There are most cost effective ways to get this supplement, but the tub is a nice size for those who are on the go. Podium products are top notch and I've ordered quite a few of them with no issues with their quality.

I was surprised at how tiny the container was when it arrived. It does come with its own tiny scoop for the recommended dose. The poweder is unflavored, but it definitely has a taste. In plain water it makes it taste stale, so it’s best mixed with another drink. My favorite so far is mixing in Gatorade. The powder dissolves well and there’s no gritty texture or sediment at the bottom of the cup. If you’ve ever taken preworkout before, you’re probably familiar with the effects. I do like that this company offers different ingredients to customize. It’s nice to get the effects without the caffeine if you choose to workout closer to your bedtime. Overall, a nice product. Good for customizing your workouts.

I love the idea of having a separate beta alanine supply as most pre workouts are low on it or it's non existent. Primarily I take this with some of my pre workouts that don't have BA, so this really gives it that extra push in the gym I need in a pre workout. It comes in a very small container with the worlds smallest scoop. I take two scoops with each session and it has been working out great!

This does exactly what it's designed to do, makes you alert, a little itchy, a little sweaty, and ready for a workout. It is unflavored, so if you take it by itself it's like drinking slightly weird tasting sand, as one might expect. I actually use about 1/5 scoop to add to my regular pre-workout to boost its effectiveness. These pre-workout products have a different effect on everyone so adjust the dose and flavor it as you choose. I'm happy with it.

I will say I absolutely love the Podium design aesthetics and the overall company ethos. The little off-white canister with the Podium logo laser-printed on the lid and the bold-stripe retro-colored label is dazzling. The beta-alanine inside is made in the USA and appears to be of the highest quality. At a 3-gram serving I get the face tingling that lets me know the stuff inside is good and pure (apparently not everyone experiences this benign side effect, but I do, and I actually kind of like it). But, let's face it, there are cheaper options out there for what is just a single ingredient supplement. If I had the means, I'd stock a cupboard with the entire Podium line. But since I don't, I would still look at their products but be very choosy and maybe try some of their proprietary offerings. Another thing that I picked up from a previous reviewer and hadn't noticed before myself is that this does contain silicon dioxide, which is an anticaking agent. I did a little research and found that it is naturally occurring and probably harmless as a food additive. Interestingly, it seems to be listed as an additive for amino acid supplements that are made in the USA. The bulk stuff that is packaged in the USA but made overseas (most likely China, but this is never indicated) does not list silicon dioxide on the label. My guess is that it is indeed in there but just not listed. Either way, I'm not deducting a star for the additive but rather for the overall value. If you can afford it and appreciate style and aesthetics, I would definitely buy this brand. I am definitely saving the little can when I work through the beta-alanine!
