Combining L-Citrulline and Beta-Alanine

[horserider4ever]

Has anybody stacked both? Also, did it break your fast?

@horserider4ever Yes, I've "stacked" both. Literally. With creatine in the middle.

I wouldn't worry about these two supplements breaking your fast.

While there's arguably some merit for IF from a general health perspective, I don't think there's much evidence that fasting does anything special from a fat loss standpoint (I'm guessing you're fasting as a means of weight loss/diet control?). Other than limiting the number of meals you eat per day.

And I don't know of much evidence that either one does anything for you (except feeling like needles in your face).

@samamph Pubmed.gov is the best place to find evidence for/against this kind of stuff

@horserider4ever This is the basis of 99% of preworkouts. If you consider drinking something “not water” breaking a fast then yeah…

@eleventhhourworker6 Thanks, I have them individualized. So I’m combining both powders. Just wondering if it’s ok to break my fast that way. I workout at 4:30 am.

@horserider4ever I get up to workout at 3.15am so it’s all good. The only thing I have before my workout is my preworkout!

@eleventhhourworker6 Thankyou. I appreciate the feedback

@horserider4ever There is what 2 calories if you ate a mouthful of either powder?

You’re worried about too minor of things here
