AMINO_ACIDThorne

Amino Complex Berry

Science moved past BCAAs. You need all 9 essential amino acids. This has them in a leucine-enriched ratio that maximizes the muscle protein synthesis signal. NSF Certified for Sport. Use between meals or during fasting to protect muscle.

7.8/10
VERY GOOD

All 9 essential amino acids at 5.14g total with leucine-enriched ratio (2.5g leucine, near the 3g mTOR threshold). For muscle protein synthesis, the leucine dose is the key driver and 2.5g is at the minimum threshold. Other EAAs are at proportional amounts for a complete amino acid profile. NSF Certified for Sport adds testing quality assurance. Better than BCAA-only products because it provides the complete amino acid picture. Not a replacement for whole protein but useful for targeted supplementation.

What We Like

  • All 9 EAAs (not just the 3 BCAAs).
  • Leucine-enriched ratio (2.5g) for maximum MPS trigger.
  • NSF Certified for Sport.
  • Berry flavor actually tastes good.
  • Only 10 calories per serving.

Watch Out For

  • 5.14g total EAAs is modest (some products offer 10g+).
