Beta-Alanine

Depending on the product, the figure can refer to one capsule or tablet, one scoop or the whole daily serving. A figure such as 4,400 mg may be the total of several capsules. The nutrition table states the serving size and the amount per serving, so compare those figures rather than the number in the title.

Capsules and tablets are counted, and the label gives how many make one serving. A powder is measured with a scoop, and one scoop is not always one serving, so read the serving size in grams on the label. Whatever the form, compare the beta-alanine per serving in the same unit, milligrams or grams, before comparing prices.

No. Alanine (L-alanine) is a different amino acid, and carnosine is a separate ingredient, a dipeptide, with its own name on labels. Beta-alanine is also not one of the amino acids that make up proteins. Check that the ingredient list names beta-alanine; carnosine products are listed under Single Amino Acids.
