VERY itchy in pre-workout

I have been using Vega Sport Sugar Free Lemon Lime religiously and when my glass was empty I was surprised it had been discontinued. I found this raw energy and decided to try it as a substitute. I should have done more research on the ingredients but I don't know how I could have known I would have a bad reaction to this product. First, I can usually handle all the weird chalky health food products that most people find gross. But it just tastes like crushed pills in water. It was hard. Almost immediately my face started tingling and I thought oh but tried to ignore it. I didn't have time to wait 30 minutes before my workout, so I started exercising. After 5 minutes my hands and feet started to burn and itch badly. I only had this feeling once when I found out I was allergic to Aleve. It got so bad I couldn't finish my workout and after 3 hours I still feel weird. After reading a few reviews here and doing some other research, it seems I react badly to high levels of beta-alanine. I gave this one 2 stars because 1) yes, it will definitely wake you up and 2) from what I've read some people look for pre-workout itchiness. So if that's what you're looking for, this is it. and it definitely delivers. The taste was unbearable. I think this product is good for fitness lovers. But if you're like me and are a working mom with kids who can only do BBG 3 days a week, then this may not be for you.
