What’s the caffeine content? 150 mg?

He doesn't want to give out any of the supplement fact details because the product hasn't been officially released yet but I'll confirm that the caffeine content is 125 mg. per scoop.

Just have to say from the guys who don't like super caffeine bombs thanks for keeping that in check. As I always say 100-150mg is the sweet spot for a good formulated supplement. Caffeine should only be used to help and enhance not be the primary (i.e. 400mg's). Same reason why Focus XT is awesome as well.

Ya I think people will like this and in usual SNS fashion it’s not some crazy formulation, just grounded in good science and feel.

Any requests for which flavor to try next? Mango tea or Limeaid?

I'm looking forward to seeing your feedback on both flavors.

I LOVE Strawberry Limeade in general so that flavor was 100% my idea to do. Basically any flavor you see from us that's going to be limeade mixed with a rare other flavor is my idea haha.

The Mango Tea is awesome, it really tastes like Mango Tea. When I let one of our employees try it for the first time, she thought we were joking with her and giving her actual Mango Tea and telling her it was a supplement.

In on this for sure!
 
@sns8778 can you hint if there are any plans for a stim free version as well?

We will likely do a stim free amino product in the next few months, but I'm not sure of an ETA yet. There are quite a few other projects in front of it.

Vasoforce XT bottle lists you can stack with Straight EAAs maybe that means just plain EAAs but my hope is it means and actual SNS product. ;)

Good catch :)
You're the first one I've seen to catch and post that so if you remind me when its released, I'll be glad to send you a free bottle to try.
 
hehe i noticed that too but remained quiet
 
Resolve10 said:
I saw it when I first saw the bottle (and the Optimize T was still on there), but figured I'd stay hush since there are already so many things that appear in the pipeline.

Don't want to stress the SNS crew out asking for details before they are ready. ;)

Also Strawberry Limeaid in 8 oz of water was 🔥.

I'll post an update later, but this stuff definitely makes me "feel" good (it has been AWHILE since I have used some solid doses of Teacrine so I expect that is what is really jiving right now).
Click to expand...

I appreciate that. We have so many things lined up that it's overwhelming trying to keep track of.

I'm glad you liked the Strawberry Limeade. I think it is truly one of the best tasting supplements I've ever used and something that even the average day to day person would find very enjoyable to drink as a great energy drink replacement.

I'm glad that you are enjoying this and that it's helping you feel good.
 
That's great to hear. I'm glad that you like all three as well. My thoughts/experience on the Mango Iced Tea is similar to yours - it had been awhile since I'd tried the flavor samples and when it came in was expecting to like it the least but then when I did, it was like wow, this is something I'd drink just to be drinking it.

That's our goal with this - to provide a product that everyone can like and drink including people the average person that may not be accustomed to using supplements; we want it to taste good even to them and I think we've accomplished that with this product.
 
Resolve10 said:
Ok guys I will try to get an update tonight.

Used all three flavors. I think I prefer a bit more water with each, so I'll keep that in mind as I keep using it up.

Quick flavor run down is that they are all basically amazing.

I had the pink and was like wow this is good, but needed more water.

Had the Limeade and thought man this is better than the pink, but personally not a huge limeade fan so that is impressive.

Had the Mango Tea in 10 oz a little while ago expecting to like it the least and was like holy crap this stuff is super smooth and tastes like something you'd buy for just tea drinking!

I'll break them down a bit more after a couple more tries with each, but from a flavoring they are pretty spot on.

I plan to use a lot tomorrow with what I have going on so should be a good "test".
Click to expand...
AWESOME! stuff like aminos a good flavor goes a long way... I always prefer to not have to slam thos type of things vs say a pre where i just want it to work and if it tastes bad so what.

can't wait to see your full feedback since you always have great detail

Update:

Ok so I've taken this quite a few times over the last few days. I'll be honest probably a bit more than I usually would, partially so I could give some different review experiences.

So far I have taken this:
  • 1 scoop with pre-workout meal.
    • I typically would drink an energy drink with my pre-workout meal ranging anywhere from 140-300mg of Caffeine.
    • Each time I have done this with Energized Aminos I have had a more noticeable "boost" and energy from this than even some of the times I drank 300mg Caffeine (typically a Bang or Reign).
    • Focus and Mood both boosted above usual levels as well. Typically I have some Caffeine with my pre-workout meal and then sit down on the computer and type up e-mails, do work, or something similar. The first scoop of Energized Aminos boosted me so much I typed up the start of this log.
    • I really like this dosing style as it also gives the longer kick in time of Teacrine some time to shine and usually feel pretty alert and ready to go 60-90 minutes after as I head to the gym.
    • Even with 2 hour sessions I have plenty of energy throughout the session.
  • 1 scoop first thing in the morning (instead of having coffee with breakfast).
    • I don't drink a ton of coffee in the morning, but I enjoy it and not sure I'll use this a ton in the morning (I like the ritual of the coffee and it is warm which helps with the cold here). Figured trying this once in the morning on a fully empty stomach was worth a shot though.
    • Similar to the 1 scoop with a meal.
    • Pretty immediate boost in energy and mood.
    • Energy lasted quite awhile too. I had to type up a lot for work and spent several hours pretty into it without much distraction and didn't even realize how much I had got done and how much time had passed.
    • Now I am not saying this is some super nootropic or huge boost, but it is very apparent that I haven't used Teacrine in awhile and that this is some quality Teacrine because the focus and mood seem above typical just Caffeine use.
    • Also, would note that with both of these qualities it seems more "mental" than huge physical surges currently. 300mg Caffeine gets me going, but also seems to get me a bit more anxiously moving (not necessarily anxious feelings just kind of fidgety wanna move around, etc.) and gets the heart rate up more than this combined Caffeine + Teacrine dosage seems to do.
  • 1 scoops at different instances pre-exercise.
    • So yesterday I had a 4 event fitness competition. Drank my usual coffee upon waking, then about 2-2.5 hours later had 1 scoop about 15 minutes before first and second event. Felt a little boost, nothing crazy, but also didn't give me any jitters (I mean it isn't much Caffeine at all and was still a couple hours post coffee, but sometimes too frequent of Caffeine gets me feeling meh).
    • Took another 1 scoop a few hours later before the final event. This full scoop didn't hit me as hard as some of the other 1 scoop doses earlier in the week, but I was also 3 events in and had some not too long ago so was still probably on the tail end of that.
    • So it is a bit hard to describe but the Caffeine + Teacrine combo "does something" to me that is different than equal dose of just Caffeine (so say 125mg Caffeine + 50mg Teacrine vs 175mg just Caffeine). I mentioned I felt one dose "more" than what a Bang sometimes feels like for me. It is this almost euphoric boost of motivation, where as Caffeine at higher doses is a restless boost of energy (idk if restless is the right term sounds too negative).
    • For more cardiovascular based activities (like running, rowing, or circuits) I enjoy this Caffeine + Teacrine boost more as it seems to not elevate my HR as much. For straight heavy sets or rep maxes I still think I prefer a higher/heavier Caffeine dose, but I may try 2 scoops of this if the situation comes up soon to see how that goes.
So give me a couple more doses (1 more of each should do) to get a full feel on the flavors and review that, but I really like them all. Did the Mango Tea this morning and 12oz with some ice was maybe a tad light on flavor, but was pretty close to perfect for sipping on as I cooked up my breakfast.

As usually your detail is immaculate! These sound very versatile and the “focus/mood” aspects are certainly something worth noting as that’s definitely atypical for a product like this
 
Nice .. loving the feedback so far .. I just ordered some mango iced tea & pink starbust cant wait to get these.

Thank you for the full detailed update. I'm glad you're enjoying Energized Aminos.

I quoted the portion above because I absolutely agree with the way you put it that it gives you an almost euphoric boost of motivation versus just a boost of energy. I've noticed the exact same thing. It's like when I take it, I have to get something done or be productive.

I've found that my new daily routine is a Focus XT first thing in the morning and then a scoop of Energized Aminos around 1 or so and sometimes another scoop later on in the day.

Have you tried the Strawberry Limeade flavor yet? I love it.

Update:

A few different trials this week:

  • 1.5 scoop pre-workout.
    • Been doing with pre-meal a lot with Caffeine lately, mostly so that when I have higher doses the initial "kick" doesn't get the HR up too much.
    • I was dragging this Monday, the worst I've slept in awhile (tossed and turned a lot), so I needed a kick. Almost went 2 scoops, but held it to 1.5.
    • This "hit" pretty hard. Considering it was ~180mg of Caffeine there is no way it should have felt this strong, but it did. I can't stress how effective I find good doses of Teacrine (75mg in this case which DWARFS what you find in most pre-workouts...).
    • I was a bit out of it still and mentally in a bit of a "haze" or kind of cloudy.
    • Despite that I was able to focus on the task at hand really well and I crushed some personal bests on no-no snatches and back squats. It was a brutal 2 hour session and I had plenty of energy.
    • The (possibly even more important) major benefit was the fact that I had zero crash and that it gave me enough energy to get through 4 more hours of work after AND then pass out to go to sleep quite easily.
  • 1 scoop + 750mg ALCAR (and my usual 1g Tyrosine and 600mg Choline)
    • So all the straight pre-workout doses are with my Ultra Octane that provides a decent Choline and Tyrosine boost, but this day I decided to try additional ALCAR.
    • This really zoned me in. Even more so than usual.
    • I could see this as a great "base" or product to give a boost if you are into using Nootropics, but prefer to alter your stim dosage depending on day/need.
  • 1 scoops at different instances.
    • So another quick update on this.
    • I keep getting surprised how effective 1 scoop is.
    • Again don't get me wrong this isn't going to kick you in the nuts and get you going like some of the crazier things out there, but considering how "neutered" some formulas are now this provides a pretty good stim benefit. If you haven't tried large Teacrine doses this could be fun to try.
    • This is becoming a very "productive" product. I just get stuff done on it. For example I had to wake up earlier today and took .5 scoops before my morning Coffee and even that had me feeling more motivated (enough to type this up haha).
Up next I'll try 2 scoops next week!
Click to expand...

Wow! It’s crazy to hear how much of an effect this is having for you for such a simple product. It really goes to show how quality ingredients and smart dosages really can be better than just a kitchen sink of things.

I gave mine (pink) a quick try yesterday just for flavor and man is it good. I throw all the other starbursts away (or buy just the “all pink” packs now ha) and this is perfect. Just the right mix of sweet and tart
 
Resolve10 said:
I honestly haven't used Teacrine in quite awhile and 50mg of actual Teacrine is a pretty solid dose (lots of products underdose this).

Again it isn't insane stimulation, but keep finding myself surprised by the bump I get.
Click to expand...

I get it for sure. Teacrine and I are best buds as well. Makes everything so smooth for me
 
Sounds like it's definitely kicking in for you at 1.5 scoops. I'm guessing 2 scoops will be even better in terms of pwo strength!
 
Good to know. My days tend to be busy so this might be a staple product on those busy days. I will have to try it out!

Awesome notes .. and yes i am totally shocked at how i feel 1 scoop .. way better then any energy drink and you can def feel Theacrine takes over that long lasting energy without really saying "wake up" .. your just in that wide awake zone

Based on the feedback this would fit perfectly (as it does for me)... enough stimulation for a nice smooth boost without the big "jolt" or crash, full spectrum aminos in a functionally sound dosage to keep you anabolic, and taste good enough to actually enjoy it... hard to beat that for <$1/serving
 
Agreed! I always enjoy products that work and are relatively cheap per serving :)

Update:

A few different uses lately:

  • 2 scoops pre-workout.
    • So I tried this again to confirm how it felt, but this time I also took Super Swole with it (the Kannease would be the only thing to make any difference in feel I'd assume).
    • I also wasn't as "tired" prior to this session as I was the last time I used 2 scoops.
    • It seemed to hit me a little harder this time (probably due to being less sleepy).
    • I could feel it pretty strong by 15 minutes and it seemed to keep building up to about 90 minutes and sustained for a few hours (slowly kind of decreasing with strongest stimulation being anywhere from 1 hour-3 hours after dosing).
    • Again this was probably a little much for me unless only for training purposes (I hit another PR with this). I get a little spacy or almost think too fast at times when stimulated in this way. Almost can't have my mouth keep up with my mind (if that makes sense).
    • I also just feel like I have to do something at 2 scoops. Even between sets I was walking around or trying to type up programming while I "rested" haha
    • I can't imagine doing 3 scoops like the bottle says as a top dosage...but sure some of you crazy stim heads may like that...
  • 1 scoop + 45mg Caffeine + ~50mg Theanine (I had a coupon for Zero Cal Game Fuel so drank half of one which has 90mg caffeine and theanine listed above caffeine on the label...)
    • Not too terribly different other dosages, but it was more mellow than 1.5 scoops of Energized Aminos.
    • Was actually a pretty solid combo for my less intense upper focused session.
    • Not really anything that stood out past the usual so I wouldn't feel compelled to add something like this to Energized Aminos, but I did for the heck of it.
  • 1 scoops with Super Swole
    • This is pretty much the sweet spot.
    • I am recovering and sleeping pretty well right now and not feeling the need for huge amounts of stims, so this gets me going about perfectly.
    • I feel a definite increase in energy and focus after dosing, but it also doesn't seem to have any come down at all. I mean obviously I look back and can tell I don't feel as stimulated as I do soon after dosing, but I usually get to the end of the day/end of my evening shift and don't feel like I had any sort of drop off or sluggish feel.

Really good review on the differences between doses and uses... I found my experience this weekend to be very similar in that 1 scoop treated me much better than 2. I also tried out 3/4sc each of energizes aminos and focus xt and that was an absolutely stellar combo for me. Enough kick to plow through a leg day but not that awkward “can’t sit still” energy.

Personally my biggest pleasant surprise is the complete lack of “comedown”... it’s almost like you just ease right into no stim without noticing the drop off
 
Thank you for the detailed review. We really appreciate it.
 
I’ve been doing half a scoop of energized aminos and half a scoop (sometimes more like 3/4) of focus xt and that combo is amazing. Just right on the energy, nice and smooth, and still stellar focus. Might be my new favorite pre combo
 
Resolve10 said:
I think the best review I can give for showing how productive this product made me was the severe lack of updates and ability to keep a timely review once I ran out. ;):ROFLMAO:

For real though its coming. I even had 250mg of Caffeine today and thought to myself man 1 scoop of Energized aminos was stronger than this. 🤷‍♂️
Click to expand...
I feel the same way... a can of bang (300mg) hit me "harder" but the energy was much less "useful" than just 1 scoop of Energized Amino's. EA has me feeling not just stimmed, but motivated vs caffiene which is justl ike getting slapped in the face and nothing else.
