Abstract: The article discusses a study which examined the physiology of β-alanine and the mechanism of action emanating from its ingestion, its dosing patterns, ergogenic and therapeutic effects, and the health issues associated with its use. The study investigated the association between βalanine supplementation and changes in body mass and aerobic capacity. It also looked into the benefits of β-alanine supplementation in older adults and the adverse effects associated with its use.
