ok so im going to do a little update. anyway ive been drinking alot of water lately usually a half a gallon in the gym while im working out and im also sweating like crazy in the gym, but i dont mind since ive been having crazy amounts of energy every day...literally i can do like my workouts for 3 days in one (of course i dont do that though) ive been taking the pills before my workout and after. before i take in like 30 minutes before or as im packing my gym bag getting ready to go. im definatly going to consider incorperating this into my supplements after this bottle is done, even though it is a little pricey......went to the vitamin shoppe by my house one bottle is $50 but then again it does work
