Study characteristics of studies investigating the combined direct effect of β-alanine and sodium bicarbonate supplementation on power-based exercise performance Reference Bellinger et al.40 Subjects 14 highlytrained male cyclists Design Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled for BA (BA, n = 7; PL, n = 7); randomized, cross-over design for SB (BA+SB, n = 7; BA+PL, n = 7; PL+SB, n = 7; PL+PL, n = 7) Hobson et al.43 20 trained rowers (club level) Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled for BA (BA, n = 10; PL, n = 10); double-blind, randomized, cross-over design for SB (BA+SB, n = 10; BA+PL, n = 10; PL+SB, n = 10; PL+PL, n = 10) de Salles Painelli et al.37 14 welltrained swimmers (males and females, state level) Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design for BA (BA, n = 7; PL, n = 7); randomized, cross-over design for SB (BA+SB, n = 7; BA+PL, n = 7; PL+SB, n = 7; PL+PL, n = 7) Dosage protocol 28 d, 65 mg·kg-1 BM·d-1 (4 doses) BA or placebo (dextrose monohydrate); after 4 wk acute 0.3 g·kg-1 BM·d-1 placebo (dextrose) Exercise protocol 4-min cycling time trial (familiarization, pre, post 1, post 2, 2-4 days in between post 1 and post 2) (6 doses) SB or Result(s) Δ-values compared to PL+PL.

Side effects 2 of the 7 reported mild symptoms of paraesthesia related to BA; 3 of the 14 reported mild gastrointestinal symptoms related to SB No symptoms related to BA; 1 subject reported severe gastrointestinal symptoms related to SB 4 of the 7 reported mild symptoms of paraesthesia related to BA; all subjects experienced eructation with SB a plasma nitrite, a biomarker of NO availability, increase exceeding 30% following nitrate supplementation; n = 5) improved their performance with 2.0% (p < 0.05) and two out of the three non-responders did not improve their performance.56 The existence of responders and non-responders to nitrate supplementation is supported by the findings of Christensen et al.53 A positive group mean effect of nitrate supplementation on plasma nitrate + nitrite concentration was found (p < 0.01), without a significant group mean effect on time trial performance in well-trained subjects and professional athletes. However, two subjects that were classified as responders by Christensen et al.53 a 2.5 and 8% improvement in time trial performance. Future research is necessary to elucidate the reasons for the existence of responders (~20-25%)57 showed and non-responders and the reduced ergogenic effect of nitrate supplementation in well-trained subjects and professional athletes.
