Good questions. The studies I've read had the subjects use it every day. These studies also featured exercise every day or almost every day. You could experiment. OTOH, it's cheap. I'm using it every day, Blood levels are max in 2 hrs. after taking 1g, 1 hr. after taking 3g. So there's that. I should try to schedule around that but I'm not. Maybe it doesn't much matter. Don't know. Had a really hard ride on Monday, so today should be DOMS day, but my legs are OK, just a bit stiff. I'm going to go do some FastPedal on my rollers now. I'll see how that feels.
