Product Summary
Essential Amin.o. Energy is from the well-known brand Optimum Nutrition. As a dietary supplement for energy and recovery during workouts or daily activities, the Amin.o. Energy is a great option. Each serving includes 5 grams of amino acids to assist your muscles in recovery and provide added support.
You’ll get a boost of energy and clarity from the 100 milligrams of caffeine from coffee beans and tea leaves. Plus, there are no added sugars, so you won’t experience a crash or hard come down after, although an artificial sweetener is used. To enjoy the beverage, mix two scoops of Essential Amin.o. Energy powder into 10-12 ounces of cold water, and you’re ready to go. Make a glass for yourself in the morning to get going, before a workout, or when you need a midafternoon boost.
