Complete Aminos

All 9 essential amino acids. Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine. Your body cannot make these, so they have to come from food or supplementation.*

All 11 non-essential amino acids. Alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, tyrosine. Your body makes these, and supplementation supports adequate levels under stress and with age.*

Free form. The amino acids are already in their free, pre-digested form rather than bound in a protein that has to be broken down first.*

Made in a GMP-compliant facility. Powdered capsules. Daily Value not established for amino acids.

Take as directed on the label. For adults only.

With juice or water. Free-form aminos have a distinct taste. Taking them with juice or a full glass of water is what most people settle on, and it is the reason the category recommends it.

Around training, if you train. Many people take theirs near a workout, on either side of it.

Consistency over timing. Daily use matters more than the hour you pick.*

BCAA powders contain three of the nine essential amino acids. That is the whole reason this product exists: if you are supplementing to give your body building blocks, leaving out five of the nine essential ones is a strange place to start. Complete Aminos carries all 9 essential plus all 11 non-essential.

We used free-form aminos rather than a protein source. Free form means the molecules are already in the state the body absorbs, so nothing has to be broken down first. That is a formulation choice about form, and we describe it qualitatively because putting an absorption percentage on a label is a number nobody can substantiate.*

Published work supports the general approach: essential amino acid supplements are non-satiating and can enhance the anabolic response to a meal containing a suboptimal amount of protein, particularly alongside resistance training (Proc Nutr Soc 2021).*

Complete Aminos is a dietary supplement providing the full set of 20 amino acids in free form. Amino acids are the building blocks of every protein in the body, not just muscle but also enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and immune factors.* This product supports muscle health, protein synthesis, tissue repair, and collagen synthesis.* It is not a treatment for any condition, and it is not a substitute for adequate dietary protein.

Adults over 40 who want to support muscle maintenance as they age.*

Athletes and active people with high protein turnover.

People who find whole-food protein hard to digest and want the building blocks without the digestive work.

For adults only. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not take this product if you are pregnant or nursing, have phenylketonuria (PKU), or are taking MAOIs, levodopa, antipsychotic medications, or a prescription antidepressant.

Consult a physician if you have liver disease, elevated homocysteine, or cancer.
