About

We sell it. And we publish the whole record.

topicalcarnosine.com is run by a LactiGo affiliate. We earn a commission on purchases made through links here. That is a real conflict of interest, so the only useful thing we can do is be explicit about it and publish the evidence that works against the sale.

That background is why this site exists and also why it is limited. Coaching athletes through seasons is not the same as running a controlled trial, and nothing here is presented as one. Where the evidence is thin, the page says the evidence is thin.

Our rules

What we will and will not do

Every claim gets a source

Any number on this site links to the paper it came from. If we cannot link it, we do not print it.

Negative findings stay up

The trial that found no effect is on the evidence page with the same prominence as the ones that did.

Conflicts are labelled

Where a study’s authors are connected to the manufacturer, we say so next to the study — including for the result the brand advertises.

No medical claims

We do not say this treats, cures or prevents anything. It is a topical gel with a small, measured effect on sprint power.
