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.

Essential Aminos Benefits

  • Aminos can help you reach your protein goals

  • 9 Essential Amino Acids (BCAAs, but even better)

  • Plant-Based & Powerful – Aminos for Everyone

  • Same Great Taste, Even Better Formula

  • Aminos can help you reach your protein goals

    Aminos and protein work better together—think of them as the ultimate training sandwich. Take Aminos before and/or during your workout, then follow up with protein from whole foods or a supplement after. It’s not an either/or situation—it’s the key to better recovery and muscle adaptation. Hitting your protein goals is tough, especially first thing in the morning when you haven’t eaten yet. Aminos help bridge the gap, fueling your body when it needs it most.

"I love how quickly Gnarly’s EAAs help my muscles recover—even before I start training. It’s like they’re priming my body so I can push harder, go longer, and feel stronger every single time.” - Kiaya Jackson

EAAs at its best

I'm a normal fitness guy who just likes to have a good workout. Not paid by anyone or forced to review this product. I drink this during every workout. I find that I'm less sore and gives me pretty good endurance with help in muscle fatigue. flavor is great and I like it enough that ill keep buying it. Give it a shot!

Really helps

I ordered essential aminos because I often don't eat food that contains all the essential amino acids. I feel more energized when I use them. Now to try them while backpacking.

Even better than BCAAs (IMO)

Excellent amino acid supplement. I've noticed a big difference in my post-workout recovery when taking this either during or immediately after exercise. Less soreness for sure, and more body resilience.

The flavor is totally fine, nothing spectacular but better than any competitor I've tried. The deep pink color is fun to see!

Would love if the instructions had more about optimizing this within a stack of other products, either pre, during, or post. Is it supposed to be combined with others, like hydrate?

Tasty!

I’ve tried different aminos but these taste these by far and don’t have caffeine. Great pre-workout beverage and I’ll switch between these and BCAAs depending on how much coffee I’ve drank that day. I love how good all the gnarly products taste.
