Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 8.0/10

Beta-alanine is one of the best-supported endurance and strength sports ingredients. The buffering of muscle fatigue via elevated carnosine levels is well-replicated.

Value for money 6.0/10

Around €0.27 per day is on the higher end for beta-alanine. Thorne quality comes at a cost.

Product quality 9.0/10

Thorne's SR (Sustained Release) formulation provides slow release, which significantly reduces the typical tingling (paresthesia). High-quality production in NSF-certified facilities.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Thorne communicates factually without exaggerated marketing claims. The SR formulation is clearly explained.

Third-party testing 9.0/10

Thorne is one of the best-tested supplement brands globally with NSF Certified for Sport — a reliable standard even for competitive athletes.

Product Description

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.
