#52Do a few grams worth of beta alanine, say up to 10grams and then tell me if you want to drink black tea!

Taking beta-alanine will increase Carnosine synthase activity and probably lead to a depletion of magnesium and/or manganese since they are the co-factors for the enzyme. So this effect will differ based on genetic and nutrition. https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/A5YM72/entry
It will increase carnosine in the body, more if you exercise than are just sedentary, but beta alanine is concentrated in places like the olfactory bulb so will increase your sense of smell amongst other things, but its still not what I'm referring to. Side note: If the aim is to increase carnosine in the body, I'd do carnosine as its better absorbed than beta alanine according to some studies, and then there's the r…

Hey doc. Well, I had consistently low WBC counts (leukopenia), skin infections, sinus infections, lung infections (and nodules), as well as recurrent fungal infections. Doctors offered no explanation. In 2014 I had my genome run on 23andMe and through digging and getting a second genome run I confirmed that I was homozygous for rs1049564 (and other SNPs) in my PNP gene. I was finally able to push for a PNP activity t…

> drinking hot tea, not by drinking tea per se. It is unclear to me that there is any way to drink tea than other than piping hot. I have heard horror stories that suggest people have attempted to drink cold tea but I figure such tales are merely intended to provoke disgust.
Cold tea does indeed provoke disgust. Iced tea, on the other hand, is quite its own art form.

What are the non-permitted sites? Spam or other abuse, or consistently poor quality news sites?
