Studies on Carnosine, Magnesium, and Menthol

Carnosine
  1. Carnosine increases buffering capacity.
  2. Carnosine maintains muscular pH during exercise.
  3. Carnosine reduces fatigue during repeated bouts of exercise.
  4. Increasing carnosine levels improves exercise capacity in elderly adults
  5. Carnosine improves muscle contractility.
  6. Carnosine lessens the decline in muscle performance due to fatigue.

Magnesium

  1. Magnesium can prevent muscle damage during high intensity exercise
  2. Magnesium improves red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels in endurance athletes
  3. Magnesium can prevent magnesium deficiency in athletes
  4. Magnesium reduces exercise induced stress response
  5. Magnesium is safe and has no negative effects in magnesium normal athletes

Menthol

  1. Menthol reduces exercise induced soreness
  2. Menthol improves ability to produce force in days following damage inducing exercise
  3. Improves heat tolerance during exercise in the heat.
  4. Menthol increases circulation in the microvasculature
  5. Menthol displays a safety profile similar to placebo for muscle strain.
