Abstract:IntroductionConsuming intracellular osmolytes, like betaine (BET), may attenuate symptoms of heat stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of BET supplementation on fluid balance and heat tolerance after a 7‐day loading period and during passive heat exposure.MethodsA double‐blind, placebo controlled, crossover study compared BET or placebo consumption (50 mg·kg−1, twice daily) for 7 days in young, recreationally active men (N = 11).ResultsDuring the loading period, no significant interacti… Show more
