Across 3 studies (a systematic review and 2 RCTs), beta-alanine supplementation showed no beneficial effect on peak power, with all studies reporting neutral findings and small effect sizes. The median study duration was 56 days, and doses ranged from 3.2 to 6.4 g/day, but no consistent effective dose emerged. No population studied (women, athletes, older adults) demonstrated improvement.
