About This Product

Essential amino acid delivery
Supports energy, focus, and muscle recovery
Promotes nitric oxide production
Caffeine derived from natural sources
Fruit Fusion flavor

Looking for the perfect pre-workout boost or anytime pick-me-up? ESSENTIAL AMIN.O. ENERGY by Optimum Nutrition supports muscle recovery before, during, and after exercise with 5g of micronized free-form amino acids—plus 100mg of caffeine to promote energy and focus.

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.

Why is nitric oxide important?

Nitric oxide plays a key role in exercise endurance because it’s a vasodilator. A vasodilator is a substance that supports the dilation of blood vessels for increased blood flow.

Directions

Mix two scoops of ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY in 10-12 oz of cold water. FOR AN AMINO ACID BOOST: Consume one or more servings first thing in the morning and/or between meals. FOR PRE-WORKOUT ENERGY: Take 1-3 servings 20-30 minutes before training. FOR POST-WORKOUT RECOVERY: Take 1-2 servings immediately after training. TIPS: ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY contains 50 mg of caffeine per scoop, so do not consume after 5:00 PM if you have difficulty sleeping. ESSENTIAL AMINO ENERGY also contains beta-Alanine and may cause a temporary tingling sensation on your skin. This is normal. With continued use, the intensity of the sensation will decrease or disappear.

How many ounces of water (or juice) is needed per scoop?

Max COct 12, 2013

Best Answer: This will depend on what you want. I read the label. If I'm doing a pre-workout, I use 4 scoops to 24 oz of water. If I'm drinking it after a workout, I use 2 scoops to 24 oz of water. Helps me with drinking water by adding flavor without sugar.

Debra GAug 26, 2015purchased Apr 24, 2013

I have tried several other products and many have caused a tingly and quite itchy feeling on my skin. Does this product cause that tingly or itchy feeling?

Julianna TJul 19, 2014

Best Answer: It is the beta- Alanine in these products that cause the tingling sensation. If you read under "Directions" the 2nd to the last sentence states that it contains BA. Personally the sensation is not as extreme as other products I've used. I love this product because it tastes delicious and is a fine powder that mixes well so none of the beta-Alanine "chunks" in the bottom of my shaker.
I also like that there are several options/measurements for this product to regulate how much "energy" you get.

SANDY EJul 19, 2014

do i have to mix it right before i drink this ? i dont want to bring the bottle to work then mix it up..id like to mix in am and drink before my workout around 330 .

dina sMar 3, 2013

Best Answer: What I do usually is just put a scoop or two or however much amount into an empty bottle and just bring that with me and fill it up and mix it whenever the time arises. But if you really want to mix it before work then it should be fine that way but if you can put it in a fridge then that would be recommended.

Ryan AMar 5, 2013

Does this product make anyone else really hungry after you use it. I will eat right after a workout and I will still be hungry, is this normal?

beth J.Feb 25, 2013

Best Answer: Most likely the fats from the product start the digestion process and your body gets hungry. It has the same effect as eating an appetizer before a meal. Seems normal to me. I hope this helps.

justin pMar 5, 2013

Is this product Gluten free?

A shopperJan 4, 2016

Best Answer: Yes this product is gluten free, however it does contain soy...just in case your sensitive to soy.

Laura BJan 5, 2016purchased Jan 24, 2014

How much sugar/ sugar alternatives does this product contain per serve?

A shopperApr 25, 2015

Best Answer: It does not say - however sucralose (I assume that is a sugar substitute ) is one of the last ingredients - I love this product! I add it to my water, iced tea, and health drink every day for years now!

heide oApr 26, 2015purchased Mar 19, 2013

Does this contain creatine ???

Darren RJan 17, 2015

Best Answer: No, no creatine. This is an "energy" type drink.
The great thing about Vitaminshoppe's website is that you can actually click on the item and see the "nutrition" label on for that item. If you're looking for Creatine, check on other items. Then click on the "supplemental facts". If that contains Creatine (or what ever you're looking for, the label will say.
I have been using this for about 2 years and like it. The scooper os small so you can adjust your servings well. Take care

Stephen DJan 22, 2015

I have a cardiovascular disease but I use the mass gainer from optimum nutrition and would this affect me for example would it give me a heart attack?

A shopperSep 18, 2014

Best Answer: This product contains caffeine, which has been shown to impair blood flow to the heart muscle in patients with cardiovascular disease. I would consult with your doctor before taking this product.

Margaret MSep 19, 2014

Is this product FDA approved?

A shopperAug 25, 2014

Best Answer: I cant say for sure but I do know that this product as well as many of the other supplement products do not need fda approval to be sold and distributed if you are wondering if its healthy and good for you I can say that its one of the healthiest pre workouts and is healthier than all of the diet drinks and zero calorie drinks the fda has approved of
