AminoIV, AminOD, Purple Wraath..I recall SAN having one similar to PW's profile, name alludes me at the moment...
San protein is on point for taste but their aminos... Not so much lol. Especially if you're sipping.

Interesting, haven't had their aminos, how'd you feel about their pre's though? I thought fierce and launch were pretty delish...

Lol, the other aminos have a purpose as well.

Leucine is king of them all, if that is what you are trying to imply.
This. Leucine alone can stimulate muscle protein synthesis, but the body requires all of the EAAs to make new muscle proteins and essentially grow.

It's uncommon for companies to include all 9 EAAs in their product. I'd suggest something like AminoIV or Purple WrAAth, and buy l-trp if you're REALLY concerned, just because of how fantastic AminoIV is. You could also go with some of these suggestions that include hydrolyzed protein meant to deliver all of the EAAs and nonEAAs such as Strive.

I wouldn't add tryptophan regardless because studies have shown no need when taken pre-intra.

Forgot to mention Alpha Amino by Cellucor.

So you're saying Compete is the best amino acid supplement out there, despite not being an amino acid supplement, and despite the fact that you have to add BCAAs to it to have full dosing of BCAAs, and despite the fact that the products marketing explicitly says that the days of antiquated BCAA supplements are over.

--

OP - Amino IV.

Always pimpin own products. It seems to be the iforce way. I've seen some creative methods employed to link every question to an Iforce product.

It's kind of not a mere preference in regards to which has a better profile though if you look at the labels...

Recommending an ArA product in a thread about ArA makes sense, how is that shameful? Even then I usually only do so if nobody else has made a recommendation, or I can add some specific information to the thread such as a good price drop on it somewhere, etc...

Responding to someone's request for the 'best amino acid product, one that contains all the EAAs' by recommending your company's non amino acid product makes no sense at all. I honestly get the vibe from numerous iforce 'minions' that several you guys don't even read OPs, and just read thread titles and recommend the most applicable product in their brands line.

(P.S. compete is a great product, just not what the op asked for)

But the main reason to take an amino supplement is... well... for the aminos. I like Compete though, it has some other goodies in it, I just don't feel like the actual aminos part of the formula is adequately dosed.

i know what he asked for, but whey hydrosolate will break down into exactly what he's looking for...thats where my recommendation came from, i'm also guessing as most ppl probably would that he's asking for intra workout purposes

but whats the real diffrence in me recommending what i use intraworkout everyday and t-bone not even giving a recommendation with saying just use leucine?

The protein isn't adequately dosed though. So for pre and/or intraworkout needs in regards to AA, it's not adequate.

For example, to get the desired leucine spike from it, I think you'll need around 15-20 grams of hydro whey?

C'mon, 5000mg of WPH doesn't even make for a complete dose of leucine, much less any other BCAA/EAA. Compete isn't an Amino acid product, multiple iForce people argued that point vehemently in response to the lobliner video about it.

T-bones recommendation certainly wasn't ideal for what the OP was asking for either :p

More than that, even at 15% Leucine (Unlikely quite frankly) you'd need 23grams.

There are very few products that have all 9 EAAs. NOW makes a product called Amino9 that is a powdered EAA product that contains all 9 EAA's.

Another one that I know of is Optimum EFX Amino Acid Matrix. It has more than 18g of EAAs per service as well as a few other solid ingredients.

Sciitec Nutrition also has Essential Amino Matrix which has all 9 EEAs.

None of them meet your more than 30 servings requirement but that is a bit subjective IMO. How many EAA's are you looking to consume per serving. The Optimum EFX has more than 18g per serving, while the Scitec product is less than 8g.

It's even more amusing when 3 iForce reps come into the same thread within 10 minutes of each other to pimp the same product.. almost as if they PM each other links to every possible thread.

The other day there was a thread about fasted training and one of the iforce reps recommended iforce protein powder before the workout. I've not read one thread that only offers advice.

Strive gets my vote as THE best.

Amino IV and Wraath are good options as well.

OP, I think that Amino IV is your best option. I'm not a huge BCAA/ EAA kind of guy but when I pick up some its always Amino IV.

The thing with strive is that once you try it you can't go back to the bcaa aftertaste effect all others have. Also, strive has lots of ingredients in addition like fast digesting peptid proteins which are great when i do fasted cardiol sip it every 10 min.

I have 3 bottles of amino iv and I'm giving it a fair trial run, but I miss yhe taste of strive honestly. Ill report back after using up more iv
