Taking excessive amounts of beta-alanine may cause paraesthesia, an unusual sensation typically described as “tingling of the skin.” It’s usually experienced in the face, neck and back of the hands.
The intensity of this tingling increases with dosage size. It can be avoided by taking small doses — around 800 mg at a time. There is no evidence that paraesthesia is harmful in any way.
Another possible side effect is a decline in taurine levels. This is because beta-alanine can compete against taurine for absorption in your muscles. *
