How we looked at it
We have not tested the product on people, and we do not publish star ratings, review counts or customer quotes. What follows is what anyone can check before ordering: the Supplement Facts panel the maker publishes, the packages and prices on the Digistore24 checkout, and the written guarantee terms.
What you actually get
Each bottle holds 150 tablets. A serving is 5 tablets and provides 5,000 mg of one proprietary blend: L-leucine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-lysine HCl, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-methionine and L-tryptophan. The other ingredients are vegetable stearic acid, silica and a cellulose coating. One bottle is 30 servings.
Histidine, which many sources count as a ninth essential amino acid, is not in the formula. The maker's position is that the body can make it from the other building blocks.
What the label does not tell you
Because the eight amino acids are listed as one blend, you cannot see how much leucine – or any other single amino acid – is in a serving. If you want to compare it with another amino acid product amino acid by amino acid, that information is not on the sales page.
Pros and cons
- Pro: all eight amino acids the maker targets in one product, with no protein powder to mix
- Pro: according to the maker, vegan and free of gluten, soy, dairy, GMOs and preservatives
- Pro: 90-day money-back guarantee and one-time payment, no subscription
- Con: no amount per amino acid on the label, only the 5,000 mg total
- Con: 5 tablets per serving is a lot of tablets for some people
- Con: the maker's page shows a review count, an average rating and testimonials we could not verify, so we do not repeat them
- Con: to get your money back you have to send the bottles back, at your own shipping cost
Who it may suit – and who should ask first
It fits adults who want an essential amino acid supplement in tablet form rather than a powder, and who are fine with a blend label. People with phenylketonuria (PKU) should only take amino acids under a doctor's supervision, according to the maker – the blend contains L-phenylalanine. If you take medication (especially antidepressants, because of the L-tryptophan), have kidney or liver disease, or are pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor before using it.
Verdict
A simple, clean formula with a clear guarantee, sold through a known checkout. The trade-off is transparency: you are buying a blend without per-ingredient amounts. If that is acceptable, the 3- or 6-bottle package brings the cost down to about $1.20 or $1.11 per serving, and the 90 days give you time to decide.
