Evidence
2 records
High-intensity exercise performance (1–4 min efforts) via muscle carnosine elevation
Athletes and trained adultsISSN Position Stand (systematic review)
High

4–6 g/day for ≥4 weeks significantly augments muscle carnosine (intracellular pH buffer) and improves exercise lasting 1–4 min; no benefit for efforts <60 s.

Dose: 4800 mg Duration: 4–12 weeks
Paresthesia (tingling) is common but harmless; split dosing reduces it.
Exercise capacity and performance (broader meta-analysis)
Mixed athletes; 1,461 participants across 40 studiesSystematic review & meta-analysis
Moderate

Significant overall effect size (ES = 0.18, 95% CI 0.08–0.28); greatest benefit for exercise in 1–10 min duration window.

Dose: 4800 mg Duration: 4–12 weeks
Effect size modest; larger in capacity vs. performance measures.
Forms
Beta-alanine
Split doses (e.g. 800 mg–1.6 g) reduce paresthesia.
