Beta-alanine supplementation has no significant effect on VO2peak in female athletes.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Beta-alanine supplementation improves time to exhaustion, but not aerobic capacity, in competitive middle- and long-distance runners

    This study gave beta-alanine supplements to young runners and found that while they could run longer before getting tired, their maximum oxygen use didn’t improve. So, the supplement doesn’t boost their body’s ability to use oxygen during intense exercise.
