Some studies suggest beta-alanine improves muscle strength output by enhancing explosive performance and delaying fatigue, while other studies indicate it does not significantly affect strength adaptations or isometric endurance.

Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that has gained attention for its potential to enhance muscle performance and reduce fatigue. It is a precursor to carnosine, a compound that helps buffer acid in muscles, which can delay muscle fatigue during high-intensity exercise. This synthesis aims to evaluate whether beta-alanine supplementation improves muscle strength output based on findings from multiple research studies.
Increased Muscle Carnosine and Reduced Fatigue:
Improved Performance in High-Intensity and Repeated Exercises:
Enhanced Explosive Power:
No Significant Improvement in Maximal Strength:
Improved Muscle Endurance:
Mixed Results on Overall Performance:
Beta-alanine supplementation appears to be effective in increasing muscle carnosine content, which helps buffer muscle pH and reduce fatigue during high-intensity exercise. This leads to improved performance in repeated and explosive exercises, as well as enhanced muscle endurance. However, beta-alanine does not significantly improve maximal strength or overall exercise performance time. Therefore, while beta-alanine can be beneficial for specific types of muscle performance, its effects on overall strength output are limited.
