Do you guys take yours with food? What is optimal for results?
My experience is that Beta-alanine (Beta-7) works best when taken with carb-rich foods.

This.
High carbohydrate meals mitigate the paresthesia (tingling feeling) in extremities.
I think it feels kinda funny, but you have to get used to it.
Also, I believe the body adapts to increased doses. When I take it for 6+ weeks straight, I can take 2-3 grams with no tingling feeling. I’ve been off for a while now, so if I took 2-3 grams right now, I would get the paresthesia.
I take it by itself in the A.M and 10 minutes later I’m rubbing the back of my neck all the time on the subway train! Tingly.
