“…Single dose ingestion strategies appear to lead to greater exercise improvements than split-dose ingestion strategies, while ingestion in solution was more beneficial for exercise outcomes than in gelatine capsules although certainty in these outcomes was low.

There was weak evidence that chronic ingestion led to greater performance improvements than acute supplementation.…”
