What health agencies say

An opinion says what the agency recommends; it is not a rule binding on the product.

The BfR advises single doses below 400 mg of beta-alanine and, when several doses are spread over the day, a total below 1.2 g per day, for less than 12 weeks. Children, adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women and people aged 65 or over should not take beta-alanine products.

BfR, opinion of 19 August 2026, 046/2026.
