In terms of where GH is stimulated, while we are not positive on all the metabolites involved we think that there is a direct neural feedback mechanism in the group 3 and 4 affarent fibers sensitive to metabolite buildup (H+. K+, lactate) and also in the blood itself as adding a bi carb buffer in studies has blunted the GH response to training. In the blood it is thought that GHRH binds optimally to the anterior pituitary under more acidic conditions

ok... so really without more studies its here or there who gets the best results, abc needs some guneu pigs lol

just a thought prez if the risk is lower GH release couldnt this be stopped by having the beta - alanine between meals or with meals and not around training time? thereofre allowing the The stimulation during and after training but allowing the positives of BA during non active parts of the day

Well I think the main thing on BA is that its going to increase intramuscular carnosine levels. So even if its between meals you will get lower H+ build up per unit work
