Animal Juiced Aminos - 6g BCAA/EAA Matrix plus 4g Amino Acid Blend for Recovery and Improved Performance - Orange - 30 Servings, 13.3 Ounce

This saved my life. Don't listen to articles that say amino acid supplements are not required

I used to be active and strong. But for years, I was just tired and getting fatter. I am 240 Lbs. now. My days were like wake up at 8am, escape work at noon, sleep till 3pm, work for 3 more hours, sleep at 9pm. I was drinking 8 cups of coffee 1 redbull a day. For 3 years. I could not remain awake. I went to many many doctors. they had no idea what is wrong with me. We knew that I had vitamin D deficiency. The supplement helped but not much. until I found this. I realized that doctors know nothing (as a professor, I am allowed to say that). I realized that I am not taking particular amino acids because I do not consume eggs, milk, or soy!. Apparently they are not in meat. Anyways, after taking this supplement, now I work 10 hours a day, I exercise 1-2 hours a day, I am energetic and strong again. I am enjoying my life now with just 1 scoop a day. So some people REALLY need amino acid supplements. I hope they keep the quality of this up. I researched and realized that this brand is really good. (also, a taste tip: it is good by itself. But with carbonated water, it becomes like an awesome soda

Don't take BCAA's alone: Use EAA's

I'm a competitive bodybuilder (currently 310 off-season pounds at 6'3”) so I take 1 scoop of these BCAA's and EAA's in my post workout drink and I believe it does help with my muscle recovery and growth after my heavy lifting days. It dissolves relatively easy but I am not a huge fan of the fake orange taste. The value per serving is okay but it is hard to find a good EAA powder (compared to BCAA's which have flooded the market). If your goal is to grow and respond to training as fast as your genetics will allow, don't take BCAAs alone. Use EAAs or fast-digesting complete protein sources that are enriched in EAAs (such as casein or whey hydrolysates) during the time-period in and around training. Here are some EAA fun facts: The essential amino acids (EAAs) are a group of 8 amino acids that need to be obtained from the diet, since they can't be made by the body. In order to synthesize new protein in muscle or anywhere else for that matter, only the EAAs are required, since the other (nonessential) amino acids can be made as needed. Three of the EAAs including leucine, isoleucine, and valine are also known as BCAAs due to the shape of their branched carbon side-chains. So technically, we are taking some of the EAAs when BCAAs are supplemented alone, just not all of them. Since any given protein consists of (more or less) the full complement of 20 essential and non-essential amino acids and EAAs need to be obtained from the diet, EAA availability, not BCAA availability is the limiting factor for MPS at any given time

This is possibly my #1 favorite amino acid supplement. I have tried at least 20 different ones and this remains at or near the top. 1-I really like that this is more than just bcaa's. It actually contains all? the essential amino acids. I think this makes the most sense since most serious lifters tend to eat the same basic meals which makes it more possible to be slightly imbalanced? in your essential amino acid intake. 2-it does not contain niacin. Niacin has a flushing sensation which is uncomfortable for some though I've found this to be relatively rare and is often used in supplements so people "feel" like it's doing something. There are other benefits too but I avoid niacin since its in so many supplements it can be easy to have too much and cause increased kidney values (speaking from experience here) 3-the "performance blend". I really like that this includes citrulline malate as well as agmatine sulfate. Both of these contribute to the pump via alternate methods and is often a source of debate as to which is better. I like that this negates that argument by including both. Also 2 out of 4 forms of carnitine is a bonus. The only other one I've noticed that carries more than 1 carnitine is carnigen by evojet but that's main purpose is as a carnitine supplement. Round out with some glutamine for recovery and you have a winner. Is there some crop dusting here? Possibly but either way this is a well rounded amino acid supplement. Don't expect it to be something it's not. It's not a pre workout and it's not going to increase your test and create new gains. It's a fantastic support system for a well rounded exercise and food regiment. My only complaint is the same as 99% of supplements out there. Please stop sweetening with sucralose and start using stevia!

More Cautious Now! Updated Review

After a few months I ended up dropping this product from my regimen. I recently became more cautious of what I am putting in my body and discovered most EAA/BCAAs and pre-workouts were the main way artificial colors/dyes and flavorings were making their way into my diet. (No point in â€˜eating clean' when my daily supplements were putting these in my body) This product in particular contains Red 40, Blue 1 along with Sucralose. Because I am taking on a new way of thinking, removing as much artificial colors/dye and flavoring has become vital and maybe this product is just not for me. Original Review: Subject: Great Tasting 5 Stars Good grape flavor. I overwater the powder, instead of 10oz to a scoop I do 20-24oz but that's personal preference. Personally, I don't “sweet” tasting drinks especially when working out so I add a little more water for a “lighter” taste

Fantastic taste

I've used a lot of different BCAAs from different companies without being able to find one that actually tasted decent untill now. These BCAAs are by far the best tasting I have had. I actually enjoy the taste enough I drink a half gallon with it mixed every day because It just taste good. With each and every sip I feel the inner Animal in me just urging to come out and pick up heavy things and just slam them on the ground and make loud grunting noises as I do so

This product is great!

I'm a 67 y/o woman who has been working out with weights for the past 2 months. I have a lot of arthritis and other muscle/nerve related issues. I drink this product in the orange flavor while working out and then late afternoon when the inflammation and pain begins, I drink another dosag. It keeps the inflammation and soreness to the very bare minimum and sometimes it takes it totally away. I'm a happy customer

Very effective increasing workout capacity

During my first use, immediately experienced a difference. Extended my workout capacity about 20-30 extra minutes. I honestly had more energy to continue but just left for times sake. Will be purchasing again. Also decreased my caffeine intake the days I used this produc

Product Review

I have been using Animal Products for about 10 years now and can only ever have good things to say about them. I love this flavor, it gives the results it preaches, and the price point is spot on. Animal creates amazing products and this is another example of one

Orange Tastes Like Orange Juice!

I'm only reviewing on the taste. It's my second day taking the stuff. Today I was really impressed because if something tastes good I will write a review. Most of the stuff I take isn't all that tasty. I keep taking it. I add a scoop of mushroom powder, a 1 teaspoon of chlorella and a spirulina/moringa powder. Then I add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne extract powder and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder. It still tastes just like good orange juice with all of that! I also use 16 oz of water to mix it with
