Abstract in brief

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) states that four weeks of daily beta-alanine supplementation (46 g) can significantly increase muscle carnosine levels, acting as an intracellular pH buffer, and is generally safe with side effects like tingling that can be managed by dividing doses or using sustained-release formulas.
Beta-alanine supplementation at 4-6 g daily for 2 to 4 weeks has been shown to enhance exercise performance, especially in short-duration, high-intensity activities lasting 1 to 4 minutes, with added benefits for older adults in reducing neuromuscular fatigue and potentially improving tactical performance.
The ISSN highlights that combining beta-alanine with other supplements might be beneficial when taken at effective doses for at least 4 weeks, but more research is needed to understand its effects on longer-duration performance and broader health benefits related to increased carnosine levels.

@missjessyjess No, it means train the buffering systems in the body to prolong reaching the lactate threshold, then how to clear it faster. Supplement wise, beta alanine helps with this process https://t.co/2iNvHt5ISd
