Beta-Alanine
Each format is ranked separately, with its own table and its own pick; none is priced against another.
Powder
How these lines are chosen
Among 7 products and 7 retailer listings we track; Amazon and Walmart are not included. A month is thirty doses of 3g, priced the same way as the figure beside it. It is worked out before that figure is rounded, so it can differ from thirty times it by a few cents. It is not thirty servings where a serving holds more or less than 3g. “Delivery known” ranks only products whose retailer publishes a delivery rate. A cheaper product whose rate is not published is in the full list below. No product here that clears every other bar publishes a delivery rate below its free-delivery threshold, so the pick is priced before delivery.
Why this pick
Not a score, no weightings to argue with. It is the cheapest certified option that clears four factual bars:
- a certification we confirmed applies to this package, naming it where the certifier names packages
- no recall, warning letter or failed test in the sources we checked
- a current price, not a last known one
- no more than a year's supply at the label's serving
It is priced before delivery: no certified product here publishes a delivery rate below its free-delivery threshold, so what you pay depends on your cart. It is provisional. It is the best answer among the products, retailers and sources we have checked, and that set is still narrow.
Capsules, softgels and tablets
How these lines are chosen
Among 4 products and 4 retailer listings we track; Amazon and Walmart are not included. A month is thirty doses of 3g, priced the same way as the figure beside it. It is worked out before that figure is rounded, so it can differ from thirty times it by a few cents. It is not thirty servings where a serving holds more or less than 3g. “Delivery known” ranks only products whose retailer publishes a delivery rate. A cheaper product whose rate is not published is in the full list below.
Why this pick
Not a score, no weightings to argue with. It is the cheapest per delivered dose among products whose delivery cost we know and that clear four factual bars:
- a certification we confirmed applies to this package, naming it where the certifier names packages
- no recall, warning letter or failed test in the sources we checked
- a current price, not a last known one
- no more than a year's supply at the label's serving
It is provisional. It is the best answer among the products, retailers and sources we have checked, and that set is still narrow.
Powders and pills are each ranked on their own, priced per 3 g of beta-alanine as each panel prints it. The 3 g is a yardstick for comparing prices, not a suggested dose.
Prices checked daily. Every figure links to its source. Where the data comes from
- 4 named at the exact package by a certifier
- 1 at another size only
- 1 whose listing names another form only

Common questions
About these numbers
What “per dose” means here: 3g beta-alanine
3 g is the serving the BulkSupplements and Nutricost powder panels print, a round figure chosen so packages of different serving sizes can be priced on one basis. NIH Office of Dietary Supplements describes studies in which young men took 1.6 to 6.4 g of beta-alanine a day, in two to four separate servings. The 3 g is a yardstick for comparing prices, not a recommended intake or serving, and it cannot change which product is cheapest: it scales every row by the same number. Packages are ranked one format at a time and never across formats. Adopted on October 31, 2026, when the category was built.
Compared on the grams of beta-alanine the Supplement Facts panel prints, never on a scoop, capsule or tablet weight. Carnosine is a different compound and is not entered here, and neither are pre-workout formulas in which beta-alanine is one ingredient among several. A beta-alanine product whose panel also prints a second dietary ingredient with its own amount is entered and marked, as elsewhere on this site.
Where the data comes from
- Where a servings-per-container figure was not read from the package's own panel, the product page says how it was worked out.
- Amazon and Walmart are not included, so “cheapest” means cheapest among the retailers we track.
- Prices go stale. Each product page shows when its price was last checked, and a price older than the retailer allows us to cache is marked as a last known price wherever it appears.
- iHerb prices cannot be refreshed automatically. iHerb has not given us access to its price data, so those prices are marked stale until they are re-read. Each retailer offer carries its own check date.
How we make money
No Buy button on this page earns us anything. Where a link elsewhere on the site can, it says so beside the link.
Commission will play no part in what we list, how it ranks, or which link we send you to. The Buy button points at the lowest price we have recorded even when that retailer pays us nothing.
