I read a few months ago about taking Beta Alanine Powder before having a shower to stop the itching caused by having a shower. I have been taking 1/2 a teaspoon in a small amount of water 15 to 20 minutes before I have a shower. It is amazing what a difference it has made to me. I can have a shower and not have to wait to stop itching to go out. I have also taken it when I have get itchy during the day when my temperature has set of the itch. Within 20 minutes I have calmed down. I am still taking Hydrea Mon-Fri and asprin daily. It is the first thing that has made a difference to my itching and given back my life.

      Hi Glenn I purchased mine from a store that supplies gym supplements but some chemists keep it and some health food stores. It is available online also.

      I think I typed 1/2 teaspoon it is only a 1/4 teaspoon. I have had no side effects at all. It works well for me. I hope it will work for you.

      Regards Dianne
