EAA Amino Acids Powder, All 9 Essential Amino Acids Including BCAA's and 2 Grams of Leucine per Serving, Apple & Kiwi Flavour, 348g - 60 Servings (5g of EAA's per Serving) - Love Life Supplements

I was so disappointed when I tried to place a repeat order for this product in early May, only to find out that it was out of stock - which meant I had to temporarily source another brand. Anyway, I'm very pleased that it's available again - and that I can finally write my review.....Like many guys out there, I was initially confused about BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) and EAA's (Essential Amino Acids). If you read fitness/bodybuilding magazines, peruse various nutrition supplement websites or watch 'professional' bodybuilders on the internet, you will get conflicting messages about the potential benefits of supplementing your diet with BCAA's or EAA's. Some will tell you BCAA's alone are best - while others will swear by EAA's. The bottom line is that it's all to do with marketing. Many of those individuals/companies are really only serving their own interests and are out there to line their pockets with your hard-earned cash. So, who do you trust and what amino supplements should you invest in? To come up with some definitive answers, I decided to do my own research. Here's what I concluded.....Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s) are called "essential" because the body cannot make them; they must be obtained from food and/or supplement sources. Many of us don't eat enough EAA-rich foods, and many more don't absorb or utilize them well. As we age, the body's ability to extract the maximum nutrients from any protein source decline; and the excess calories in this protein can end up being be stored as fat. There are eight Essential Amino Acids:MethionineLysinePhenylalanineThreonineTryptophanLeucine (Branched Chain)Isoleucine (Branched Chain)Valine (Branched Chain)Because the three BCAA’s are the most important for energy production and muscle metabolism, they have been heavily promoted in the bodybuilding industry and there is no doubt that taking a BCAA product can be beneficial. However, my understanding (from reading scientific data) is that you really need all eight amino acids to receive the most benefit. Just taking a BCAA supplement would be like picking a football side consisting of just your two best strikers and a goalie. You may think these positions are the most important ones - but you're unlikely to win a game without the rest of the team! In other words, it makes sense to take the eight EAA's (which include those three BCAA's).While bodybuilders have popularised the use of EAA’s for muscular growth and maintenance, anyone can benefit from their use. EAA’s stimulate the production of cellular energy and promote cellular repair. They initiate the creation of the critical enzymes necessary for healthy (and complete) digestion. They are especially important for those who cope with any form of physical or mental stress including intensive training, injury, or surgery.Because the effects of EAA's have been well-studied, they offer several, scientifically-proven benefits:EAA’s prevent muscular breakdown during periods of intense physical and mental stress.EAA’s improve, enhance and protect the mitochondria, our cells' energy factories.EAA’s can curb hunger and improve metabolism.It seems to me that, regardless of our age or level of athletic ability, we all need EAA’s to look, feel, and perform at our very best. By the way, I always look long and hard at the products available on Amazon before making my choice. I chose this Love Life brand based on the quality of its ingredients, the fact that it contains those eight EAA’s, the advantage of it being far quicker to digest than a food protein source and the competitive price. So, I highly recommend this product to you.

These Essential Amino Acids are a great addition to my supplement routine. They contain all 9 EAAs plus BCAAs, helping with muscle recovery and growth. The tablets are easy to take, and I’ve noticed better endurance and less soreness after workouts. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, which is a big bonus.

Seems like a good product but I got the berry flavour and find it too sweet and artificial.

These are very well formulated Essential Amino Acid Tablets with nothing added to them.I have used several LLS brand supplements and I can clearly see that they provide very high quality supplements.These are great to supplement for your protein needs. I am predominantly plant based so this is helpful for me to get Essential Amino Acids without having to have very large amounts of protein shakes. They are great for recovery from workouts and supported my body well.What I really like is that there is nothing else added which means I am not putting in anything nasty in my body.The key practical things you would need to consider:- The Tablets are large so may not be easy to swallow for everyone. (Also swallowing 5-10 tablets may not be to everyone's liking)- Since they don't have a coating then again this does not always make it easy to swallow and you would get some bitter taste when it touches your tongue- Since there is no coating over time the tablets can start disintegrating slowly over time which means you will have powder in the bottle and it can get messyThe above would not be an issue if it has a coating and something binding it together but that means adding something that would not be good for you. I appreciate that LLS are not using a coating as I don't want any additional nasties in this.The alternative if you did not want the above is to have their flavoured Essential Aminos drink which is an a Apple and Kiwi flavoured powder you mix with waterFor me the tablets work well and I just work with the practicalities of them but I also use the flavoured Aminos. I continue to trust this brand.

Having tried the Lemon and Lime flavour in the past which was enjoyable to drink on the palette, this flavour is also no exception and my new favourite.! I have extremely high standards and I take my health seriously when it comes to the products I consume because your "Health" is your wealth! and is your all time biggest investment in your life. This company also has a high ethos on health which shows in their products lines and research they come up with the final product/s for the health and wellbeing of that the consumer alongside current trends of the market.I have spoken to Richard in somewhat detail to regards to the above product, which initially I was looking at buying the tablets but then he mentioned the E.A.A. drink to myself and it tastes lovely with a fresh taste of hints of Apple and Kiwi to wake you up in the morning I personally love the taste and drink mine with natural sparkling spring water for extra hydration so tasty and it dissolves very quick in the water. its a clean product to consume as the body can not make essential aminos acid so they are a must for your health as I see it. I am so glad LLS mentioned this in the drink form which I believe is much better assimilated by the body for a pre or post workouts without weighing you down as I like to work out in a fasted state then tend to have a protein shake (Sun warrior) or smoothie with Plant base milk with some veg and a frozen banana thrown in later on in the day. My only concern would be to drink it on days of your workout only if you don't want to put on too much muscle which I don't as I personally like the lean look otherwise its a must as part of your dietary requirements from a clean, trusted, and premium brand who also offer second to none customer service to their clients who as a company also don't use any unnecessary nasty fillers etc in most if not all of their products. A win win!
