Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialExercise-induced fatigue (EIF) refers to a reduced capacity to sustain a specified level or intensity of physical activity and is generally regarded as a physiological warning signal following excessive exercise rather than a pathological state.4Yang Y (2026)Nutritional Interventions and Acupuncture-Based Strategies for Exercise-Induced Fatigue and Recovery: Mechanisms and Integrative Perspectives.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialIn this review, we synthesize evidence from nutritional interventions and acupuncture-based strategies and outline a conceptual mechanistic framework relevant to EIF management.4Yang Y (2026)Nutritional Interventions and Acupuncture-Based Strategies for Exercise-Induced Fatigue and Recovery: Mechanisms and Integrative Perspectives.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialAcupuncture, electroacupuncture (EA), and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) have been associated with regulation of autonomic function and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity, modulation of pain and affective circuits, and changes in skeletal muscle perfusion, mitochondrial function, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory signaling.4Yang Y (2026)Nutritional Interventions and Acupuncture-Based Strategies for Exercise-Induced Fatigue and Recovery: Mechanisms and Integrative Perspectives.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialIt involves peripheral disturbances related to energy depletion, metabolite accumulation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, together with central changes involving neuroendocrine networks and the gut-brain axis.4Yang Y (2026)Nutritional Interventions and Acupuncture-Based Strategies for Exercise-Induced Fatigue and Recovery: Mechanisms and Integrative Perspectives.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialNo trial differences were found for I-FABP (interaction effect, p = 0.076), L: 13 CM ( p = 0.559), the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio ( p = 0.171), serum cortisol ( p = 0.982), serum myoglobin ( p = 0.942), or serum creatine kinase ( p = 0.694).4Nieman DC (2025)Betaine Supplementation Improves 60 km Cycling Time Trial Performance and One-Carbon Metabolism in Cyclists During Recovery.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialConclusions Betaine supplementation modestly improved 60 km cycling performance but had no effect on gut permeability.4Nieman DC (2025)Betaine Supplementation Improves 60 km Cycling Time Trial Performance and One-Carbon Metabolism in Cyclists During Recovery.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialBackground/objectives This study examined the effects of 2 weeks of betaine versus placebo supplementation (3 g/d) on 60 km cycling performance, gut permeability, and shifts in plasma metabolites.4Nieman DC (2025)Betaine Supplementation Improves 60 km Cycling Time Trial Performance and One-Carbon Metabolism in Cyclists During Recovery.
Betaine Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialA randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover design was used with two 2-week supplementation periods and a 2-week washout period.4Nieman DC (2025)Betaine Supplementation Improves 60 km Cycling Time Trial Performance and One-Carbon Metabolism in Cyclists During Recovery.
