AminoIV

Additional benefits on top of being an EAA/BCAA and
 
You guys know there's only 4g of BCAAs in 2scoops of Amino IV?? At the 10:1:1 ratio its basically a low-dosed Leucine product....?
 
Universal Atomic 7, Universal Juiced AMinos, Controlled Labs Purple Wraath come to mind first and are my go to
 
So far I'm enjoying Scivation Xtend Go. Besides BCAAs it also includes l-theanine, caffeine, kanna and coq10. Provides a nice, little mood boost from the kanna and good focus from the l-theanine and caffeine.
 
I'm a fan of Anabolic Innovations RecoverPro. You can get a 125 serving tub for around 40-50 bucks, which is a great deal. The taste is pretty good, and you its a good bang for your buck.
 
I thought the ratios weren't known in Amino IV?
 
For a straight BcAA product
Xtend or core ABC

For BcAA and eaa mixture
Amino IV or intra MD if you want carbs

For
Pure EAA purple wraath
 
Universal Juiced AMinos, Controlled Labs Purple Wraath, Cellucore alpha amino, and PES Amino IV

Mostly because they offer all of these + some other goodies....I like a complete formula not simply a ratio of the top 3 bcaa's
histidine
isoleucine
leucine
lysine
methionine
phenylalanine
threonine
tryptophan
valine

BUT no company itemizes the actual amounts
 
Right now Im diggin on the Animal Juiced Aminos. Also have 9 tubs of BCAA+SAA from finaflex stocked up. Ive gone through probably 4 tubs of it and the taste is awesome. The profile isnt bad either. Amino IV, Xtend, Purple Wraath, and Modern BCAA are some of my other go to's. Recover pro is awesome for the price but I feel like the taste is subpar (only have the lemon flavor). There are lots of good options out there.

I wouldn't imagine this could be correct. From what I remember, the whole idea behind Amino Iv was to maximally stimulate MPS intra workout, or LBM preservation any other time, while providing some substrate to make new proteins (EAA's). So while a large percentage is leucine, I doubt there are only 4 grams of BCAA's in 2 scoops

I can't wait to try the new flavor of Juiced Aminos. I haven't seen it on sites yet. I hope it is released soon since I need to order some aminos.
 
I wish it wasnt true! Unfortunately, I sent an email inquiry to PES customer service and THEY gave me the specific numbers......I was initially HOPING it was 4grams per scoop, so I replied to get clarification and she clearly pointed out it IS 4grams per 2scoop serving. Disappointing to say the least.
However.....the label profile is pretty impressive. I decided to grab 3 tubs of Modern BCAAs from smartpowders because theyre clearancing them at $10 a tub!!! 2scoops Modern + 2scoops AminoIV for IntraWorkout......NOW the entire profile looks amazing!!
 
Finaflex's BCAA +SAA and their new active amino's are by far my favorite! Taste is amazing too!!

I agree that AI's recover pro is a great bang for buck. Lemon is gross imo but raspberry is pretty good.

I ordered some Man ISO-Amino in several flavors on special, and damn they were good. Good ratio too. Sour Batch is my favorite so far. Don't care for tigers blood, it's a bit too tropical for my taste,
 
As far as an intra-workout, I have used Compete ever since it was released -- I love it. It has a very minimal amount, though (I'm just talking about what I use during my lifting and basketball sessions -- 1 scoop paired with 5g taurine).

As far as just pure BCAAs, I've enjoyed Modern BCAA, RecoverPro, the old Xtend, and plenty of others. I like the profile of Amino IV, but there are some other products that have flavors I prefer.

I just got a few samples of the BIP Best BCAA and I have to say, the flavoring there is phenomenal. It's actually what I've been looking for in terms of a product I can mix up and sip on in the evening when I want something more than water, but don't want to snack, etc.

Lots of good ones out there, though.
 
I like Amino Core by AllMax nutrition. I would get something flavored next time though. I got unflavored and boy, it turns everything to crap.

AminoCore is definitely one of my favorites. As is Alpha Amino from Cellucor. Recently also tried out Magnum's Hi-5, that has a great profile.

That said, i also have tubs of CL Purple Wraath and PES Amino IV sitting in my cabinet.
 
I've tried a ton of BCAA products over MANY years. By far, the best product I have EVER had was MST's RPG.

Taste wise, performance wise, and ingredient wise.

I'm also giving AEN's Intrabolic a run right now and it's pretty good stuff.

(and no, I am not a rep)
 
Im all about AMS Body Mortar here lately!

I make my own out of horse hair, prefer it to most commercial products that use China sourced human hair from death row cadavers

Can a PES rep confirm?
 
Pes amino iv for me and alpha amino. Is alpha amino considered to be mixture of bcaa and eaa?

Can they confirm? LoL.....i'll cut/paste the email!!

I think there has been a mix up somewhere.

This customer service rep is not actually aware of the doses in our products. I don't know where she plucked this number from lol.
 
None - I eat protein ~90 minutes pre-workout, and the rest of the day. Tried Intra-MD, then stopped it... no difference in anything.

Fasted?, Two-A-Days?.. maybe. But I'm just an average Once-A-Day Joe.
 
Personally......I LOVE the Amino IV and have been using it religious EVERY workout since it was released.....I believe I was one of the first to receive it in BOTH initial flavors when Nutraplanet released it...so im definitely not trying to stir up **** in any way. I was just curious of the exact breakdown which is why I emailed the customer service rep......i was actually shocked and definitely disappointed when she replied with such a ridiculously low number!!
If this/she IS incorrect, can you please clarify so I can go back to using it?!?

It is not correct, I promise you that. Only 2-3 people know the breakdown, and the CS rep is not one of them. There are more than 4 grams of BCAAs
 
Myokem mTOR FTW or hmmmmm all day you may isn't terrible then hmmmmm
 
KtchnChmst said:
Thats encouraging.......back to Modern BCAAs. Thanks

I don't understand. I am one of the formulators for PES, and Ben is higher than me, and we both said the CS rep is not correct. The amount is prop blended (so is modern bcaas as well FYI), but I already stated it is higher than 4 grams. I can't really do more than that.
