You’re Not Dying. You’re Upgrading. 

So you just took a scoop of BUCKED UP® Pre-Workout, and 10 minutes later… your skin is tingling. 
Your ears feel fuzzy. Your face? Buzzing like a beehive. 

If you’re Googling “why does my pre-workout make me itchy?” right now — first of all: 
You’re fine. 
Second: you just met beta-alanine. 

It’s not scary. It’s not weird. 
It’s one of the most powerful ingredients in your pre — and once you understand what it does, you’ll never want to train without it. 

What Is Beta-Alanine?

Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid. Your body makes a little of it on its own. But when you train hard — weights, cardio, HIIT, whatever — you burn through it fast. 

Its main job? 
To help your muscles fight fatigue so you can push harder, longer.* 

It does this by supporting your levels of carnosine, a compound that buffers acid in your muscles (aka the “burn” you feel mid-set). 

Less burn = more reps = more results.* 
And yes, the tingle is totally normal — it’s called paresthesia. It just means your body’s absorbing it. 

How Beta-Alanine Supports Your Workouts 

No hype. Just facts. Here’s what beta-alanine may help support:* 

• More endurance during your workouts* 

• Less fatigue when the sets get heavy* 

• More total reps, even when your muscles are on fire* 

• Faster recovery between sets* 

• A noticeable difference in how long you can go before you tap out* 

You won’t suddenly become a superhero… 
But you might feel like one.
