Beta-alanine raises carnosine levels and improves performance in high-intensity efforts.

Value for money 8.0/10

€0.20 per 750 mg is fair for CarnoSyn in capsule form.

Product quality 8.0/10

NOW Sports uses CarnoSyn and tests for purity and banned substances.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Third-party testing 7.0/10

GMP-manufactured, but no NSF certification.

Product Description

Each capsule contains 750 mg of CarnoSyn beta-alanine. The capsule format allows flexible dosing spread throughout the day to minimize paresthesia (tingling).

What We Like

  • CarnoSyn ingredient: Patented standard with consistent purity
  • Capsule form: Ideal for those who dislike powder
  • Endurance focus: Supports buffering capacity during intervals
  • GMP manufacturing: Solid quality assurance framework

What We’re Missing

  • No sport certification: NSF would be preferable for tested athletes
  • Only 750 mg: Standard 3.2–6.4 g protocols require multiple capsules per day

Usage Recommendation

4 capsules daily, spread across 2–4 doses, preferably with meals to reduce tingling. After a 4–6 week loading phase, a maintenance dose of 2 capsules may be sufficient.

Ingredient dossier

Beta-alanine elevates muscle carnosine and improves high-intensity exercise performance in 60–240-second efforts; it's a sports tool, not a longevity supplement.
