alright guys i decided not to be lazy and do some researching, can someone check when i have come up with and see if it looks good cheers.
 
omega 3 caps, take 2 with breakfast and 2 before bed ??? not 100 % on this.

beta alanine, take 2 g pre and post workout in with shakes

arginine, take 1 g preworkout with shake

glutamine, take 5 g pre and post workout with shake, and 5 g before bed on empty stomach, as with shakes, on empty stomach, or as empty as it gets which isnt that empty tbh.

taurine, take 5 g daily,  not sure when tho.

cheers guys

Omega intake depends on how much of fat your getting in your diet, i just take 3/4 daily.

Beta alanine at about 4g daily, 2 separate dosages.

Arginine 4/5/6g pre wo sounds more like it.

Glutamine - 15g daily sounds fine.

Taurine - no need for 5g, 3/4g would be fine. Are you using for pre wo?

Yeah 3/4g pre wo is fine. 4g of tyrosine seems like far too much mate, i would try 1g then if nothing happens try 2g.
