What Sets It Apart

Time to level up with Essential Aminos. Because science evolves, and so do we. BCAAs are great for kicking off muscle protein synthesis, but to truly unleash your muscle-building potential, you need all nine Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). That’s why we’ve packed our formula to the brim with the whole lineup of 9 EAAs, not just the 3 found in BCAAs. These bad boys don’t just kickstart muscle protein synthesis; they provide the building blocks your body needs for muscle repair and growth. More muscle, less soreness. Simple as that.

What exactly are EAAs, you might ask? Well, they’re the nine amino acids your body can’t produce on its own: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Yeah, those guys. You NEED them to build muscle, recover faster, and reduce that post-workout ache. Muscle growth? Covered. Muscle repair? You bet. EAAs are the muscle-building foundation that help your body recover quicker and get back at it with less soreness after those intense workouts.

A daily essential

Not only do they taste great and I trust the quality coming from Gnarly, but I actually feel the difference. I’ve noticed I’m less sore and post-workout recoveries are quicker when taking the Essential Aminos. Highly recommend adding this to your quiver of supplements.

If you workout back to back days, you need this!

I have been drinking Gnarly's aminos daily for the last 4 years. They recently revamped the flavor to be less tart. I honestly didn't mind the old formula's flavor but did notice a difference with less tartness on the after taste with my current bag. I appreciate the caffeine free version as I already use a pre-workout that's loaded with caffeine and prefer to drink my aminos post-workout because I'm a thirsty girl. I have noticed that when I drink Gnarly's aminos, I feel less muscle soreness the following day which allows me to get the full benefit of my required back to back training days at high intensity. There are a lot of aminos on the market but I choose Gnarly's for the mild flavor and easy digestion.

Essential Amino - Stim-Free

This is a great new addition to the Gnarly Nutrition offerings. I love the crisp new Berry Lemonade flavor - perfect balance of sweet / sour. This product comes in both a caffeinated and non-caffeinated version. This product mixes great with no clumping or grittiness.

Essential

I’m a fan of this berry lemonade flavor! The lemon lime BCAA is by far my favorite, but for and extra six EAA’s I’ll gladly stick to this.
