Sweet. Fruity. Full of Energy Review by M. Lu

Overall Evaluation

This powder is fruity, sweet and easy to mix and drink. I notice increased energy levels when taken 30 minutes before a nice long work out.

While working out, I could feel a difference. It's heightened energy and not a jolt by any means but I definitely did not feel too amped or jittery. I had a good workout after first use. Only thing is I drank this and went straight to the gym on an empty stomach... and it gave me extreme heartburn! Be forewarned, eat something light before you work out. Don't take this on a completely empty stomach.

Last note: The energy is derived from caffeine from green tea. And it's 2 grams of carbs per serving. (Posted on 1/10/12)

Good but will not last very long Review by C/O Jim

Overall Evaluation

This product does tap into your stored energy and it is probably the best tasting energy drink I have ever tasted. This price was good, but, it will not last very long if you use the 4-6 scoops that is recommended. I use 1-2 scoops as a wake up drink if I don't want coffee. (Posted on 1/10/12)

Lasts for 3.33 to 5 days, a lot of caffeine Review by reluctant reader

Overall Evaluation

The label recommends to consume the following amounts:
morning wake up: 1-2 servings (1 serving = 2 scoops);
pre-workout energy: 2-3+ servings;
post-workout recovery: 1-2 servings;
afternoon pick-me-up: 1-2 servings.
It means a daily consumption of 5-9+ servings or 10-18+ scoops. At $21-$27 cost for 30 servings it means a daily expense between $4.2-$6.3+ to $5.4-$8.1+.
Each serving contains 100 mg of caffeine (50 mg per scoop). So a daily recommended intake of caffeine is 500-900+ mg. At 150 mg of caffeine per cup it is an equivalent of a daily consumption of 4.33-6+ cups of coffee.
The taste is good and the amino acids (building blocks of proteins) content is sufficient for both workout and recovery. (Posted on 1/10/12)

A little bit of almost everything Review by Bud

Overall Evaluation

First, I am not a body builder, but I do workout hard and a lot. I have found this product helps with muscle recovery. This is due to many of the amino acids in the product which are part of the AMIN.O. ENERGY name.

Here's the gist of the ingredients per serving size which is 2 small scoops (9 grams):

Amino Acids: Taurine, Glutamine, Arginine, Leucine, Beta Alanine, Citrulline, Valine, and more...

Energy Stuff: Caffeine, Green Tea Extract, Green Coffee Extract

(Not all the amino acids are used for recovery. For example, arginine/citrulline are used for nitric oxide production -- the N.O. in the name.)

My only gripe (no star deductions) is that the price of this can vary wildly, so pay attention. (Posted on 1/10/12)

Perfect For Me Review by My Thoughts

Overall Evaluation

Essential "Amin.o." Energy dietary supplement is labeled to deliver the following benefits: Essential amino acid delivery, nitric oxide production (which probably explains the odd location of the periods in the word, 'amino' on the label), muscle recovery acceleration, improved energy and focus.

First, a little bit about myself: former amateur athlete, trying to stay in shape and keep active in my early 50s. My goal is to workout several times a week to stay in shape and look good. My goal is NOT to bulk up, but to stay lean.

This product is perfect for me. The entire plastic canister of roughly 270 grams provides 30 servings (serving = two of the small plastic scoops that come in the canister). Each serving has 100 mg. of caffeine, roughly equal to a cup of coffee. The label says that each serving contains only two grams of carbohydrates, and just ten calories. So the entire canister has only 300 calories.

Great Source of Energy Review by Chavez

Overall Evaluation

I tried this product for 2 months now, and although I am extremely satisfied with the taste and amount of ingredients it has per serving, I am giving it 4 stars because it lacks the power I was looking for in a pre-workout drink. (Posted on 1/10/12)
