Overview

Amino Acids are complex chemicals that are the building blocks of protein, which in turn are required for the creation of new tissue, and the repair of existing cells. An Essential Amino Acid cannot be synthesised or created by the body, and must come from the diet. Whilst a regular diet is enough to supply most people with all the amino acids that they require, anyone involved in heavy training may require a supplement to ensure enough of the various essential amino acids are consumed to meet the body's needs.

Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are required in order to build new tissue and help with cellular repair which takes place when muscles are recovering. Getting the right amount within a diet helps athletes to improve their physique and also recover quicker from exercise. The main essential amino acids required by the body are L Leucine, L Isoleucine, L Valine, L Lysine, L Phenylalanine, L Threonine, L Histidine, L Methionine, L Tryptophan. These can be found in small quantities in natural foods.

We require all the different essential amino acids as part of our diet for a number of reasons including cellular repair, but they are also required in order to get the most out of protein rich foods. If you do not get enough essential amino acids in your diet, the body will not extract the maximum nutrients from protein sources, and the calories in the protein will be stored as fat. The requirement for a balanced number of amino acids in the diet is known as 'limiting protein utilisation'.

A good supplement will contain essential amino acids in the correct ratios. This will improve their uptake in the body, and provide maximum nutritional benefit. Increasing the intake of essential amino acids will allow athletes to train at a higher intensity for longer thanks to the improved recovery offered by a more balanced diet.

    CEE is like melted chocolate compared to this. doesn't mix in anything. i've tried the spoonful in mouth washing down method but the quantity thats needed makes it pointless and horrible. this has been the defining reason i'll be getting my protein solely from food now. i'll try to finish the bag but my taste buds will never be the same, or my gag reflex for that matter.

    dam..this is the worst thing i have ever tasted. i dont care how effective it is, i just cant knock this one back. I bought it recently, tried it twice once with a shake and once in water and nearly yacked up trying to drink it both times. the possible little gains from this product are not worth the torment of the dreadful taste.

    Ok Masochists, the taste is bad. Normally I don't take any notice of peoples moans about taste, but I agree this time, it's not good. Don't mix in a cup/glass with water, either it don't mix or ends up around glass/cup. Solution: Flav Drops (strawberry is ok) Put EAA's straight into mough via a scoop. Swill/drink and knock back with some Flav Drops (3) in water. Works well for me, and zero kcals for those like me on a cutting phase.

    I've only been using this a couple of weeks now and i have to agree with everyone that this is probably the worst tasting suppliment i have tried. I have tried it in my protein shake, with apple juice, in diluting juice and straight in the mouth on a desert spoon washed down with apple juice and i have to say the least traumatic by far is straight in the mouth and washed down with apple juice...Luckily i never bought it for its taste factor, i bought it to help me gain maximum results in the gym. like the name says their essential for optimum muscle growth, its a no brainer really reguardless of taste!

    Just recieved this product and was dreading the tasted due to the comments however I opened the bag and there was very little smell, tried a spoonful direct onto tongue and swallowed with water, very little taste, not sure what the big fuss is about at all. Cant comment on effectiveness yet but wanted give my opinion on the taste

    I use EAA ,and CEE together, and both taste awful,but I can make the taste just right.Take Blackcurrant high juice(50ml),EEA(8g), CEE(3g),sweetener powder(half MP l.scoop),and mix them in a shaker.Use mint mouthwash(Don't swallow) before you drink this cocktail,and it will taste fine like this.

    I can't write about the effectiveness.I just had twice.I could mix it properly just with an electric mixer.I mixed it with MP Chocolate Flavoured Impact Blend and milk,but it didn't help.I read reviews about the awful taste,but I thought it can't be worst than the creatine.Then I realised it's worse.I hope it's worth drinking it.I give it a chance.I have 500g of this product,and I will take all somehow,but please someone give me advice how it taste nicer.I won't put sugar in!

    absolutley amazing product. All I do is wrap it in a spinach leaf (or you could wrap it in rolling paper) and swallow it straight away. This way it doesnt even touch your tongue.

    Was between this and BCAA's. Chose this because it contains BCAA's along with other essential amino acids as the name suggests. If our body is defiicnet in any one of these amino acids, your body breaks muscle to obtain them. To keep it simple Im just providing my body with amino acids and lifting weights, Ill leave the rest to my body, no need to interfere by ingesting too much of one type. Trust me our bodies are very clever and as long as I keep providing Im sure theyll do a good job of building me lean muscle.

    Started taking EEA's 2 months ago and now have some results. It has definitely helped me gain a few pounds. I have reduced body fat and increased muscle size far more quickly than before. I am 57 and do not want to "bulk up" just gain some nice lean muscle. This stuff works. Tasted awful for the first few times but now I don't even think about it. On a spoon, down the hatch and a guzzle of fruit juice to wash it down.

    Been using this for a couple of months now. Smells bad and if taken with water tastes bad too. So mix it with any kind of fruit juice and it's fine. I also mix it with impact weight gainer unflavoured with milk and it's fine and all mixes well. .Reading the recent comment on aching elbow joints i've noticed my knees and elbows aching also. Not sure if it's from the workouts as i've been lifting a lot more recently as my recovery time has reduced with this stuff but i don't care what it's from it's worth it. Man up... KC

  • Review:
    This product is great for post workout ... if I take this in the evening I wake up with my muscles hard and feeling pumped.. as opposed to soft and broken. That makes it a no-brainer that it works. Taste considerations are secondary to the effectiveness of the product ... I do what some people have suggested; pile a tablespoon of it on my tongue and wash down with a drink or protein shake, can't taste it, doesn't taint your shakes this way and it's gone in under 5 seconds ... I actually think trying to mix it in a drink brings out the smell and flavour people have been complaining about. My only negative is that I feel like my elbow joints ache a bit if I take a lot. But yeah, they are great for me, which is why I come to this site. Thanks MP

    I don't understand all these comments about the taste - firstly, it's not that bad, and secondly, it's not important. How good is it? That's what we need to know. For me as a vegetarian, it's a useful source of protein other than just dairy and eggs. I'd like to know how MP came up with the formula, though. Protein has 3.2g of Leucine, and 700mg of Tryptophan in 25g (whey protein). So why 5g of Leucine, but only 200mg of Tryptophan in this product? Is 15g equivalent to 15g of protein/25g or more?

    well i read many reviews on this before buying all saying the taste is awful, and tbh when i got my first batch and opened the packet and smelt, i was a bit reluctant, luckily my american friend was beside me and told me it just smelt of maple syrup, which strangely it did, so i added it to my shake and it tasted fine and mixed extremely well, naturally there was a mild aftertaste but nothing as extreme as everyone else has been saying, besides its for your own good, so man up and get it down ya! yet another great product from MP....god i love this site.....XD

    whats all this about the taste its fine i add a splash of vimto and bang down it goes no worrys, you want worry about taste when doing some old school and downing some blended raw liver otherwise sounds to me like people just want to man up lol you think this taste bad then stay clear of creatine ester.

    goes well with unflavoured whey if wanting bulk up add some oats and buckwheat and waxy maize after workout to refill depeleted glucogen storage in muscles.

    decided on powder instead of caps because its cheaper despite the reviews that its undrinkable...tohught they exagerated. they didnt. the worst thing ive ever smelt or tasted. first time just mixed with oj and thought it wuld do the trick, ended up doubling the liquid to 200ml and adding a teaspoon of sugar. now i put some sugar on my toungue and just neck it. i think the extra money for the caps wuld be worth it. im gonna buy caping machine tho and make my own. effects r noticable, btr then bcaa's. in caps without the nasty taste wuld be an amazing product!

    First try today of the dreaded tasting stuff. Surprised, it was not that bad. After wasting a measure in a glass of water and trying to mix it (total disaster) I resorted to an alternative method of ingesting it. Neat on a spoon and down the hatch. Washed down with a flavoured shake the taste very quickly disappeared. I have no idea on results yet but will post any updates. Taste is acceptable but could with a little something to make life easier.

    This really is the best stuff for building lean muscle tissue without getting fat, faster recovery and reduced muscle soreness (DMS). I do laugh at the other posts where people also suffer from the horrid taste. At least I know I'm not the only one! All of the Amino Acid powders taste awful and do not mix that well but they are better than protein powders as they cut out the 'middle man'. protein is not essential in the diet despite what people say. It is the Amino Acids the body extracts from the protein. Amino Acid powders are far easy to digest and do not have the additional calories of protein, ideal if you are cutting up. The difference between winners and losers is that the winners do the things losers don't. Man up and neck the shot of amino acid powder! You will eventually get used to it even if you never like it.

    When i opened this pouch for the first time i was instantly hit by a horrible smell and thought to myself "oh here we go again, another buzzing, crap product" but i must admit i was completly wrong. You can't really tell that you've put this stuff in your orange juice. I've been using this stuff for a few days now and so far, so good, non more soreness in the morning =] a great product

    15 yrs of training has led me to this GEM! nothing artifical about the effects like N.O. or Creatine which decrease when you come off them. this is prob the GREATEST supplement ever made and beats bcaa only tabs and powder, i have at least a days less D.O.M.S. and the results ive had on these have been fantastic. i can train more often and harder than ever before! the only thing i would say is its prob also the worst tasting supplement ive ever had so im only taking it cos it gives such fantastic results, please sort the flavour so i can sprinkle it on all my food ;)

    If you're fussed about the taste, then you're in the wrong business and you will never succeed in achieving your goals / good gains. I use this with a lot of other supps, but this is fantastic, got some great gains and a real good pump while on this.

    Due to the really bad taste of this stuff, I found the best way to take it was by putting it into capsules. The capsule kit on here is easy to use, and makes taking this, BCAA and CEE easy and bearable.

    i dont care about the gains when a product tastes so bad, its by far the worst thing ive ever tasted, i used to put a small scoop in y workout water re-fils to provide steady aminos, made the water taste appalling.\n\nStick to EAA tablets if you can source them!! or mix with protein shake.

  • Review:
    Research has shown that this stuff is incredible for gains, I ordered a batch and took my first 10grams today within pre-workout shake, the taste is very very unpleasant, I'd rather soak *** through a soak and I'm not kidding, I gagged and couldn't finish the shake, leaving me with a rotten aftertaste all workout, I'm not sure and will need to find the best way to take this stuff as I've got loads to take.

  • Review:
    This product has really helped me hit my goals. The taste is strange and very unpleasant, the way ive found best is to do 7-8mg pre workout with high concentrate cordial and 150ml water and pin the nose, same for post work out. I have tried it with my Protein blend but makes the whole thing taste bad so best taken seperately for me.

  • Review:
    Only just received these and tried it once or twice, doesnt mix well at all and tastes foul, tried it in with my usual milkshake an mixes in better but ruins the flavor SO i take it seperate, same as everyone else, hold your nose and down it then follow with something nice like orange juice to cover taste an then unplug nose, cant be doing this for the whole bag tho SO im gonna buy the pill kit and see how it goes, not tried training with these yet so will keep posted, i wouldnt suggest for beginers or fussy people, go for the tablets

    I'd agree the taste isn't too clever, tastes very organic! Just neck it, it's gone within 20 seconds, it aint gonna kill you! Take mine within minutes of finishing training. Nothing added just water. I seem top have great recovery with little soreness. Would recommend this.

  • Review:
    These taste awful.\n\nReally really bad.\n\nI just downed 15g, I tried to make them taste nicer with a little Maple Syrup (10g). This DOES NOT WORK. Felt as though I was about to regurgitate the lot into my sink.\n\nI find the best way is to down the lot in one go, no point prolonging the agony.\n\nSince taking them they have helped my strength gains noticeably so they seem to work. No sign of them killing DOMS though, but hey, no pain, no gain!

  • Review:
    This are a good product. Needed if lifting big. simple.\n\nIf the taste is too bad for you, try mixing with 500ml of water and 2 scoops MP max whey.\n\nThis kind of stuff is just too hard to drink on its own and it needs to go with some whey or capped to make you keep taking them.\n\nWhen will they be back in stock?

    They did decrease my recovery time but it tastes absolutely revolting to the point where I can only just get it down without gagging. If anyone's got any tips on making it more palateable please post them up!!!

  • Review:
    EAA's are superb when used pre workout (5-10g) with some fast carbs (dextrose/maltodextrin - 20-30g) for improving recovery and reducing DOMS.\n\nCombining them with BCAA's and Leucine post workout also works very well. The only criticism is the taste which is quite bitter.

  • Review:
    This is my silver bullet, incredible recovery, DOMS disapeared training intensity increased, body fat decreased : 10 grams pre 10 grams post with 500 ml of water on training days, 20 grams dispatched between my meals for the days off. if I had only 1 supplement to buy it would be EAA.
