Our 5 gram serving of nine essential amino acids is equivalent to approximately 30 grams of whey protein, but with a fraction of the calories, to help you build or maintain muscle mass without adding unnecessary calories into your diet.
1100 mg of L-Leucine supports regulation of cellular processes like protein synthesis, metabolism, and tissue regeneration, which is how damaged tissues in your body repair and renew themselves.*
Our plant-based formula mimics the effectiveness of its dairy alternatives, minus the higher risk of digestive distress for those with lactose intolerance.*
We skip excess fillers and sugar-laden additives because we believe in focusing on active ingredients that will give you results.*
Who needs it
Anyone looking to support athletic activity, promote recovery, fill nutritional gaps and build or maintain their #gains over time.*
Why it matters
Muscle mass decreases as we age.* After age 30, we lose from 3-5% per decade, making it even more critical to preserve strength and promote lean muscle growth.* Essential amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and getting enough of them can help you keep feeling strong and continue doing what you love.*

Best tasting aminos yet
It's no secret that amino acids are not great tasting and most products have a metallic hard-to-swallow taste. Not this one! This is the first palatable amino drink I've had and will continue to take.

This is an amazing formul. . .
This is an amazing formulation of amino acids, with some I had never learned about until I tried it. It stands out in it's class of supplements. I use it after working out and I hope I can use it more often.

Essential Aminos by Blueshift.
This one I think has more of the essential aminos (including some I'm not familiar with) compared to other amino acid supplements. I am eager to keep taking it for this reason. I think that it will succeed where the others won't. It has a distinct flavor and I enjoy taking it.

Love the Natural Ingredients
I was recently introduced to your amino acids. My husband and I work out avidly and have been looking for some amino acids. I’m also a nutritionist though and didn’t want to take any with all these fake added ingredients. So when I saw these amino acids had just the basic ingredients and were naturally flavored, I was sold! Definitely recommend them.
