    Every workout. One of the few supplements with scientific backup. Definitely assists with endurance.

    I used it until I got sick last week. Only issue I had with it was it made me itch when I took just the B-Alanine alone. When I take it in NO Shotgun never itched.

    As the above posters noted, it's one of the few supplements with some solid scientific backing.

    The itching is common, it probably didn't make you itch in the past because the dosing was different.

    I hope so. Which it didn't bother me, just found it odd. I'm hoping to get back to working out this week and get back to cutting weight and pumping hard again. I want to go at least 4 weeks on it uninterrupted.

    On days I lift I do a scoop of NO Shotgun pre-work out, a scoop of Beta Alanine that's 3.2 grams post workout along with two creatine tablets and a protein shake.

    On days where I work soley on my running, I do a scoop of 3.2 B-Alanine pre-run and two creatine tablets after the run. I could be dosing wrong on my running days.
