Micronutrients & recovery
Beta-alanine supplementation attenuates neuromuscular fatigue, particularly in older subjects, and may improve tactical performance in military personnel.
Older adults or tactical athletes may benefit from beta-alanine supplementation (4-6g/day) to reduce neuromuscular fatigue during prolonged or high-intensity tasks. While tactical performance benefits are promising, more research is needed.
GoodSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Beta-alanine attenuates neuromuscular fatigue, particularly in older subjects, and preliminary evidence indicates that beta-alanine may improve tactical performance
Why this rating
Strong evidence for fatigue attenuation in older adults; preliminary evidence for tactical performance.
