I have heard that if you're using it for endurance purposes, it's best to take it in divided doses throughout the day, such as 2 grams at a time, 4 or 5 times throughout the day.

thats what I have heard 1 gram 4 times a day for best results thanks

I would divide the results to ensure that the BA is not in short supply in your system, its a constant state and can help keep the muscle carnosine levels high

I think the question that remains is whether or not increased muscle carnosine concentration really translates into increased ergogenic effects.

There have been many different protocols suggested and study doses praised.

Currently, any clients that I have using beta-alanine, they use the most commonly cited 1.6-6.4 grams 2-4 times over the course of a day with no real end in sight on when the effects would essentially wane orally; so this may truly end up a more is often better type supplement (something I don't tend to recommend often at all).

Charles Poliquin actually has his athletes (mind you, most are world-class athletes) inject carnosine which allows bypass of the carnosinase enzyme and is likely most effective if I had to side with one way over the rest. Unfortunately, this kind of protocol has NOT been studied and I have absolutely no experience with it, but it is interesting and makes sense by design.

damn needles, I could not inject myself.... but if it boosts carnosine levels more efficiently
