Combat athletes, facing explosive bursts and grueling rounds, might find a friend in β-alanine. This amino acid, not a direct performance booster, fuels carnosine, a muscle buffer that fights fatigue. Studies suggest 4-6 grams daily for 4 weeks can improve performance in combat-like bursts (60-240 seconds), potentially boosting strength, power, work capacity, and even recovery. While more research is needed, β-alanine, timed with meals, could be a safe weapon in a combat athlete's arsenal, helping them push their limits and dominate the ring.
