Frequently Asked Questions

What are essential amino acids?

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are amino acids that your body can’t produce enough of on its own, including leucine, isoleucine, valine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. EAAs support muscle growth and recovery.

What are micronized free-form amino acids?

Micronized free-form amino acids are single amino acids that are already in a pre-digested form for faster absorption by the body.

Directions

Drink 1 can 15-30 minutes prior to your workout or any time of the day. Do not shake.

Warning

Consume as part of a healthy diet and exercise program and drink at least 100 fl oz of water per day. Exercise may increase your need for fluid intake. Do not combine with alcohol or consumer more than 3 servings in a 24 hour period.

Great to have an option with lower caffeine than other 200mg energy drinks. The strawberry flavor is sweet like a jolly rancher. Love it!

Great Taste Low Caffeine
Great energy drink. Only 100 mg of caffeine which is enough to wake you up and get you going with a blend of BCAAs and amazing taste. The strawberry actually tastes like a juicy strawberry and I can?t get enough of them.

Delicious!
I absolutely LOVE these energy drinks. No nasty aftertaste and just the right amount of caffeine to keep me going without crashing later. And the added aminos make it perfect for drinking first thing in the AM before my workout.

Great Taste
This drink is very good for a energy boost when needed. I sometimes use it before my run in the morning or workouts in the afternoon. While I do not like all of the flavors, the majority of the varieties I do like.

Each bubbly, zero-sugar can delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes with a science-backed ratio of 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium.
