Decided to try a straight Beta Alanine product instead of the pre-workout mix (primarily because I wanted to stay away from caffeine).

Price was terrific at $12.95 and I got free shipping as I also ordered other products putting me over $75 (needed in order to get free shipping).

Definitely provided the "pins/needles" feel expected from Beta Alanine. I have found that I need to take a little more than the recommended "scoop" in order to get that tingle. Each serving is 2g, so I am probably getting 2.5-3g per serving.

It's important to note that I am NOT following the suggested use "take one serving 20-30 minutes prior to workout and one more serving sometime during the day". I do not take the second serving as I primarily use this product to get my body prepped for the gym and don't see the point in doing this later in the day as well.

There have been days I have taken the Beta Alanine as I was walking to the gym (get caught up in work "stuff" and can't get it 20-30 min before I leave the office). It is definitely advisable to take this at least 20 minutes before heading to the gym. I've found it takes that long to get absorbed into your system and provides for much better results once your workout begins.

The bottle has 100 servings per container, so the first bottle lasted me 60-70 workouts which in my opinion was a great return for the investment.

I would have issues giving this a 10 only because this is the first straight Beta Alanine product I have tried, the others have all been mixed with a pre-workout formula.
