Optimum NutritionOptimum Nutrition Amino Energy Powder Plus Hydration, with BCAA, Electrolytes, and Caffeine, Strawberry Burst, 30 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

This stuff is a solid go-to for a boost before hitting the gym or whenever I need a little pick-me-up during the day. It’s been a great way to avoid grabbing energy drinks, which are usually loaded with sugar and way overpriced. The flavor’s pretty good too—nice and refreshing. Yeah, it’s a bit on the sweet side, but no big deal; I just mix it with more water, and it’s perfect. Plus, it’s super convenient to toss into a shaker and go. Overall, it’s a great product. Gives me energy, helps with hydration, and doesn’t have me reaching for junk. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something simple and effective!

I’ve been using the Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Powder lately, and honestly, I’m hooked! The Watermelon Splash flavor is super refreshing, and it gives me just the right amount of energy without making me feel all jittery. It’s got BCAAs and electrolytes, which I love because it helps me stay hydrated during my workouts. Plus, it’s super easy to mix, and with 30 servings, it’s gonna last me a while. If you’re looking for something to keep you going through your day or workouts, this is definitely worth trying! 🍉

I've tried two other brands of BCAA energy type drinks and this is by far the best. I like that is contains multiple types of BCAA's not just 2 - 3. It isn't full of sugar but tastes really nice. Watermelon is my favorite. It gives a nice boost of energy without making me jittery. I do mix it with more water than directed because it is pretty overpoweringly sweet if you don't. Great for staying hydrated with some electrolytes!

Tastes good, but the actual flavoring is weak unless you add a lot of powder. Seems to work as an energy drink when directions are followed properly!

I have been using amino energy for several years now and never been disappointed. I have always tried the green apple which is fine flavor wise but decided to give the strawberry burst a try. It's soooo good. Tastes exactly like pink Starburst. Good bit of energy without being over the top.

Amino energy is a good alternative to canned energy drinks or for someone like me who doesn't drink coffee. Doesn't give you the jittery jolt, but rather just a consistent boost that keeps you going. The flavor is good but my favorite is still the Blue Ras but that one wasn't on sale so I went with the strawberry to save a few bucks.

Update: This is the second day I’ve used this product. I did not add in the beet root powder this time. The taste is like Gatorade- salty with a little sweet because of the electrolytes. I still don’t think this is a very good supplement to use as a pre workout unless you max the dosage which is 6 scoops but that’s a bit excessive (it’s 300mg caffeine). I used 2 scoops plus a half (so 150mg caffeine). The nice thing is that the manufacturer included multiple serving suggestions on the label so that you can see exactly how much caffeine you’re getting- that’s impressive. I wish coffee would have the same labeling.So my face has that itchy feel which doesn’t bother me but again, I don’t have that “I’m ready to get up and exercise” push that I was hoping to get from this drink. I purchased this to minimize the types of chemicals I was putting in my body and also because I needed an amino acid drink. I still feel like I want a container of pre-workout and a separate container of amino acids without caffeine. Bummer.Original review:Tastes very good! I bought watermelon and mixed in a serving of organic beet root powder. It tasted like a fruit punch jolly rancher. I bought this thinking I would be able to use it as a pre-workout but I’m not so sure. I am used to that instant energy surge that I get after taking pre-workouts. This gave me energy but nothing to help with motivation and focus. I think that’s what is really missing here is the focus component that pre-workouts have. Otherwise, nice amino acid drink

Its good quality, the effect is mild, and i dont feel jitters or any aide effect while taking. Very easy to use 2 little spoons in 10/12oz of water. I havent had any pain so i dont know if it helps with pain relief.
