NOW Foods Amino-9 Essentials Powder 330g

NOW® Amino-9 Essentials Powder supplies all nine essential amino acids (EAAs) — the ones your body cannot manufacture and must obtain from food or supplements — in one convenient, mixable powder. While BCAAs are important, research increasingly points to the full set of essential aminos as what the body truly needs to maximize muscle protein synthesis. By providing a complete EAA profile, Amino-9 gives your muscles all the raw materials required to build and repair tissue, making it a smart choice for supporting recovery, lean mass and performance.*

About the key ingredients

• 9 Essential Amino Acids: The complete set of essential aminos the body can't make on its own — the full raw material required to maximize muscle protein synthesis and recovery.*
• Other ingredients: A mixable amino-acid powder.

Who it's for

NOW® Amino-9 Essentials is ideal for athletes, strength trainers and active adults who want complete essential-amino support to maximize muscle protein synthesis and recovery. Because it supplies all nine essential aminos rather than just the branched-chain ones, it also appeals to those looking for a more complete alternative to a basic BCAA product, to people rounding out a plant-based or lighter-protein diet, and to anyone wanting a convenient, mixable way to give their muscles the full set of building blocks around training.*

Suggested use

Mix 2 1/4 level teaspoons with 8 oz. of juice or your favorite beverage once daily. Taking with juice or other beverage is recommended due to bitter taste of free-form amino acids. Store in a cool, dry, dark place after opening.
