Across 3 studies, beta-alanine supplementation shows no effect on reduced body mass, with all studies reporting neutral, small-sized effects. The most robust evidence, a meta-analysis of 20 randomized controlled trials (492 participants), found no significant change in body mass (WMD: -0.15 kg; 95% CI: -0.78 to 0.47). The median study duration was 28 days, but effects are unlikely even with longer use based on current data.
