Got a bag of it in a box of goodies I won in a competition at the gym and I don't really know what to do with it. I Googled it and just found that it WAS popular in a lot of pre-workouts, I say "WAS" because there wasn't any good recent articles or studies.

Any help or ideas Guys?
 
this was huge back in 98, 99 and 00- EAS sold it for 9 million dollars a tub-

Since you got it for free, I'd just toss some in with your pre-workout. Won't hurt.

you can take it before and mix with creatine- I have done that for added benefit. its not terrible by any means, but before or during - my .69

I got some Beta-Alanine too but I tried that in a protein shake and it just gave me real bad pins and needles and made me feel sick. So looking for a use for that too, probably just take it with milk instead to slow it down but still build up the carnosine levels.

Split the dose up into 2g doses pre and post or any other times during the day.

Paresthesia (the tingles) are a side effect of large doses that ventral ky do away once you reach saturation.
 
There is a reason you don't see AAKG in a lot of products anymore. There are much better pump ingredients out there (e.g. L-citrulline, agmatine sulfate, GMS).

But since you got it for free, you might as well use it.

where you around when eas was promoting this years ago? 75 bucks for a tiny tub lol

Why was it supposedly worth $75 for a tiny tub? There's gotta be something to this stuff to warrant that sort of price tag right?

Yeah, GNC sucks. They are overpriced, their house brand sucks, and the best companies aren't carried there.

They send me coupons in the mail, like $15 off a $90 purchase, so sometimes I'll go in there and get $90 worth of Fit Crunch bars for $75. It ends up being a good deal. That's all of my money they ever get though. Generally, if you're not buying supplements online, you are overpaying.
