  • 5g BCAAs per serving (2:1:1 ratio): 2.5g Leucine, 1.25g Isoleucine, 1.25g Valine — the three branched-chain amino acids that directly trigger muscle protein synthesis and preserve muscle during hard training.
  • Aquamin® Marine Minerals: 100mg calcium from red algae plus trace mineral cofactors that support the muscle recovery process.
  • Potassium and Vitafiber™: 70mg potassium for muscle function and prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharide fiber for gut support.
  • Rapid absorption: Free-form aminos absorb faster than whole protein — ideal intra-workout, between meals, and during fasted training when a full protein serving isn't practical.
  • Caffeinated or Stim-Free: Caffeinated version adds 35mg natural caffeine from Green Tea Leaf Extract for a light pre-workout lift. Stim-Free is identical minus caffeine.
  • NSF Certified for Sport: Independently tested for banned substances. Vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, soy-free.

Gnarly Essential Aminos delivers 5g of BCAAs in the clinically-studied 2:1:1 ratio, plus Aquamin® marine minerals, potassium, and prebiotic fiber -- all in a rapidly-absorbing, calorie-light formula built for intra-workout and between-meal use. NSF Certified for Sport, no artificial anything, built for the way outdoor athletes actually train.

BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) are three of the nine essential amino acids -- and the primary drivers of muscle protein synthesis during training. Leucine specifically triggers the mTOR pathway responsible for muscle growth and repair. Free-form BCAAs are absorbed rapidly and go straight to work without the digestion delay of whole protein -- ideal during training, between meals, or during fasted training when a full protein serving isn't practical.

Key features of Gnarly Essential Aminos:

• 5g BCAAs in 2:1:1 ratio (2.5g Leucine, 1.25g Isoleucine, 1.25g Valine)
• 100mg calcium and marine mineral cofactors from Aquamin®
• 70mg potassium for muscle function
• Vitafiber™ prebiotic isomalto-oligosaccharide for gut support
• Rapid absorption, low calorie, ideal intra-workout
• Caffeinated (35mg Green Tea Leaf Extract) or Stim-Free options
• Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, sugar-free
• NSF Certified for Sport

Mix 1 scoop with 8-16 oz of water. Sip intra-workout for endurance and muscle preservation, or use between meals to support recovery. Caffeinated version is a great pre-training option; Stim-Free is ideal for late-day training or double-day athletes.

Active Ingredients: BCAAs -- L-Leucine (2.5g), L-Isoleucine (1.25g), L-Valine (1.25g); Potassium as Potassium Citrate (70mg); Calcium as Aquamin® Marine Minerals (100mg); Vitafiber™ Isomalto-Oligosaccharide Prebiotic Fiber. Caffeinated version adds Green Tea Leaf Extract (35mg caffeine).

Other Ingredients: Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Malic Acid, Sea Salt, Silicon Dioxide, Stevia Leaf Extract, Beet Root Powder (color).

Available in Berry Lemonade. Caffeinated or Stim-Free. 30-serving bag or 10-stick travel box.

Q: What are essential amino acids?
A: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, divided into essential and non-essential. Non-essential amino acids can be synthesized by your body, but essential amino acids (EAAs) must come from your diet. EAAs play a crucial role in kickstarting muscle protein synthesis, repairing and building muscle, adapting to training, and reducing soreness.

Q: How do EAAs work?
A: EAAs fuel muscle growth, repair, and recovery by kickstarting muscle protein synthesis and preventing muscle breakdown during training. Since your body can't produce them on its own, getting all 9 essential amino acids helps replenish lost nutrients, speed up recovery, and reduce soreness -- allowing you to train harder and perform at your best.

Q: When should I take Essential Aminos?
A: For best results, take Essential Aminos before or during training. If you don't have access to a full protein serving immediately after your workout, EAAs can help bridge that recovery gap. They're also useful during fasted training or extended endurance efforts to prevent muscle breakdown.

Q: Do I need EAAs if I'm already meeting my daily protein intake goals?
A: If you're consistently hitting 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight, you may not need additional EAAs. However, if you're still experiencing muscle soreness or slow recovery, adding EAAs to your routine can help optimize results -- particularly around training sessions when a full protein serving isn't practical.

Q: What's the difference between the Caffeinated and Stim-Free versions?
A: The Caffeinated version adds 35mg of green tea leaf extract for a light, natural energy lift -- useful as a pre-workout boost or midday pick-me-up. The Stim-Free version delivers the same amino acid profile without any caffeine, making it ideal for evening training, athletes sensitive to stimulants, or those stacking EAAs with a separate pre-workout.
