THORNE - Amino Complex - Clinically-Validated EAA and BCAA Powder for Pre or Post-Workout - Promotes Lean Muscle Mass & Energy Production* - NSF Certified for Sport - 30 Servings - 8.0 Oz - Berry

I’ve ordered this product twice now. I do a wide array of workouts from weights to running to multi-functional. I’ve taken aminos from different companies for a long time but started to finally really research & felt much safer taking Thorne. The flavor isn’t the best if you add too much water. I’ve always added around 20oz to my intra-workout aminos with no problem but this one will get watered down. I adjusted and it’s been good. I’m also used to awful tasting soups and just powering through worse and this flavor is better than stuff I took up till the last few years. Newer people to using supplements might not like the flavor at all but trust me all workout supplements used to be awful. My recovery & muscle growth/lift gains have remained the same to the other products I’ve used with more mystery ingredients so there was no drop off there. I’m okay with taking a step back on taste and variety rather than putting mystery crap in my body from lesser regulated big companies. Product quality wins this for me & I’ve heard from multiple non-Thorne associated experts that vouched for Thrones testing.

I love all of the Thorne products so I have nothing negative to say!I combine this also with my Oath clear Protein and love the berry flavor combination!It works great, mixes great and has greatly helped my overall health

Great value for your money! I used it today for the first time after my CrossFit workout, and it was just like drinking water! No change at all, it was literally like drinking water. I felt replenished and glad I didn't have to bear through another berry, tropical punch, or whatever flavors they had out there! The training was hard enough; I do not need to fight the amino acids! No upset stomach, very effective!

I should have truly believed the people who said this stuff tastes horrible. It does. It is so bad that I have to hold my breath to take it and I don't even know if it's doing any good to my body. I stupidly combined it with Creatine and I shouldn't have done that because either this or the Creatine caused me to have HORRIBLE MUSCLE PAIN. I tend to believe that it was the Creatine though. That said, I was just told that this is an "unreturnable" item, so I am out a lot of money. Live and learn!

Now that we've been using this for a long time we've tried a few other products. Continue to wish: Thorne would up the Leucine to 2k. Also, dump the BCAAs that are thrown in, the turmeric powder, and the malic acid. It would make for a much better product. And you could chop $5 off a bottle...After using Kion we've since tried Thorne and VitaMonk. The Mrs and I like both. I prefer Thorne and she prefer's VitaMonk. As both are $10-15 dollars cheaper per month than Kion...we subscribe and save to both.Flavor is excellent. Good job lightening the sweet a bit v Kion yet still perfectly covering the amino taste no one wants.The amino levels are very good. I'd prefer a bit more Leucine but at least the 3 top EAAs, leucine, lysine, and Isoleucine are not kept somewhat 'proprietary.'Excellent product.

Package Arrived early - product is a great addition to my enormous line up of supplements and tastes good enough to eat directly without mixing it in drinks

The taste is way too strong ! Use half the recommended amount

Taste is fine. Just mix with 16 ounces/500ml bottle of water. 8 ounces water would be too sweet for me. Helps with my recovery at 62!
