Plain-language summary
Human supplementation study quantifying how oral β-alanine raises intramuscular carnosine over weeks, and tying those biochemical gains to improved performance on high-intensity exercise tasks. A foundational reference for the β-alanine → carnosine → performance chain.
Key takeaways
- ›Dose-dependent rise in muscle carnosine.
- ›Performance gains tracked the biochemical change.
- ›Underpins much of modern endurance supplementation.
