Beta Alanine and MDMA

[afrothunder]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here to Bluelight. I have rolled a few times, but I don't do it too often because I'm a bodybuilder and I feel it's counterproductive towards my goals. That being said I still love it and probably won't stop anytime soon.

I'll quit chit chatting and get straight to the point. One of the bodybuilding supplements I take contains the amino acid Beta Alanine. This is something I copied from Bodybuilding.com, kind of explains what it does.

By promoting high levels of intramuscular carnosine, β-Alanine promotes high energy levels and supports maximum muscular endurance and improved performance.



I'm not too sure about the relationship between carnosine and MDMA, but when you take enough beta alanine you feel a tingling sensation in your skin. I got the idea of popping a pill or 2 and then wait for the pills to kick in, at this point I would supplement with beta alanine and have the tingling sensation while rolling. In theory, it would feel absolutely amazing.

But what I really want to know is, will the beta alanine interfere will the pills effects? I would hate to take it and decrease the incredible feeling I get from the pills. Anyone who is interested or has taken beta alanine I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.

p.s. - I plan on trying this next weekend (only if it won't interfere with the pills), I'll keep you guys updated on my little experiment.

The beta alanine dose nothing to your body at all. but it does allow your body to produce more carnosine. your body can't produce carnosine without beta alanine so giving it more will increase the amount of carosine you can produce. beta alanine does not have any detrimental effects to enzimes in the body so it won't mess with the absorbtion of MDMA and it is broken down to acetic acid in the body (same acid as in vinigar I think) so no worries there.

the carnosine is a strong antioxident so acctually I could see this combo as reducing neurotoxicity maybe resulting in less of a comedown and shorter recovery from MDMA use.

I ain't no doctor but as far as I can see...it might acctually be a good thing to take the 2 together...in more ways than just tingling skin

Great! I'm definitely going to take it then. Thank you.

I use beta alanine all the time for my workout (it's in my PWO), don't worry about a thing. Most standard supps like arginine, creatine, etc. won't have any effect.

Yeah basically my parents are leaving out of town for the weekend so I've planning this little trip for a while now. I was gonna pour 4-5 scoops of my workout drink (containing beta alanine and other amino acids) into my half gallon jug and sip at it all night.

I just recently bought 3 packs of glow sticks, I'm gonna attach them to my fan and turn out the lights and watch them spin.

I have a capsule machine at home so I crushed up 3 pills and put the remains in 2 capsules. I just can't wait for this to happen.

I'll be rolling alone, but I think my drum set and guitar will make it an experience. I've heard some people do that and it makes them have a good trip. Got my 5-HTP and Vitamin C ready to go as well. Before I came to this site I was doing it all wrong!!!!
