ABSTRACTBeta-alanine (BA) supplementation increases muscle carnosine content (MCarn), and is ergogenic in many situations. Currently, many questions on the nature of the Mcarn response to supplementation are open, and the response to these has considerable potential to enhance the efficacy and applications of this supplementation strategy.ObjectiveTo conduct a Bayesian analysis of available data on the Mcarn response to BA supplementation.MethodsA systematic review with meta-analysis of individual and published aggregate data using a dose response (Emax) model was conducted. The protocol was designed according to PRISMA guidelines. A three-step screening strategy was undertaken to identify studies that measured the Mcarn response to BA supplementation. In addition, individual data from 5 separate studies conducted in the authors’ laboratory were analysed. Data were extracted from all controlled and uncontrolled supplementation studies conducted on healthy humans. Meta-regression was used to consider the influence of potential moderators (including dose, sex, age, baseline Mcarn and analysis method used) on the primary outcome.Results and ConclusionThe Emax model indicated that human skeletal muscle has large capacity for non-linear Mcarn accumulation, and that commonly used BA supplementation protocols may not come close to saturating muscle carnosine content. Neither baseline values, nor sex, appear to influence subsequent response to supplementation. Analysis of individual data indicated that Mcarn is relatively stable in the absence of intervention, and effectually all participants respond to BA supplementation (99.3% response [95%CrI: 96.2 – 100]).
