Ingredient

Beta-Alanine: doses on the label

55 published products list Beta-Alanine on a label two independent readers agreed on. 43 state an amount; 3 are at or above the 4 g reference dose. 3 list it only inside a proprietary blend, with no dose disclosed. 9 list it without an amount for it.

Reference dose

4 g position-stand range

Source: Trexler et al., ISSN Position Stand 2015, J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2015;12:30 (PMID 26175657) — 4-6 g/day; the threshold uses the low end, 4 g (position stand)

The figure is the low end of 4-6 g/day (Trexler et al., ISSN Position Stand 2015).

The dose audit marks a product MET when the amount on its label, as two readers transcribed it, is at or above this figure, and UNDER otherwise. An ingredient inside a proprietary blend has no disclosed dose, so it is counted as undosed, never assumed adequate. A reference dose is the amount a cited study or guideline used; it is not a recommendation for anyone. Every reference dose and its source: how we rate.
