Abstract Position statement The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) provides an
objective and critical review of the mechanisms and use of beta-alanine supplementation …

Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on the effects of
β-alanine supplementation on exercise capacity and performance. Design This study was …

Due to the well-defined role of β-alanine as a substrate of carnosine (a major contributor to
H+ buffering during high-intensity exercise), β-alanine is fast becoming a popular ergogenic …

Modulation of endogenous cellular defense mechanisms represents an innovative approach
to therapeutic intervention in diseases causing chronic tissue damage, such as in …

Abstract Position Statement The following seven points related to the intake of protein for
healthy, exercising individuals constitute the position stand of the Society. They have been …

Carnosine is a dipeptide with a high concentration in mammalian skeletal muscle. It is
synthesized by carnosine synthase from the amino acids L-histidine and β-alanine, of which …

Carnosine was first discovered in skeletal muscle, where its concentration is higher than in
any other tissue. This, along with an understanding of its role as an intracellular pH buffer …

High-intensity exercise results in reduced substrate levels and accumulation of metabolites
in the skeletal muscle. The accumulation of these metabolites (eg ADP, Pi and H+) can have …

The use of dietary supplements is widespread among athletes in all sports and at all levels
of competition, as it is in the general population. For the athlete training at the limits of what …
