There are 20 different amino acids, but only nine amino acids are classified as essential: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. They trigger muscle protein synthesis, but since they don’t occur naturally in your body, they must be consumed. We’ve added three more grams for a total of 10 grams.

Branched Chain Amino Acids

Of the nine Essential Amino Acids, three are “branched-chain” which refers to their chemical structure. These are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These play very specific roles in muscle-building including maximizing anabolic state, reducing muscle breakdown, and lessening post-exercise soreness. We’ve added one more gram for a total of 7 grams.

New Flavor

In addition to our current offerings of Strawberry Lemonade, we’ve added a delicious Fruit Punch.

ESSENTIAL AMINOS

Putting on muscle is a balancing act, pivoting on your ability to adapt to training stress and recover from everything else that life throws at you. A poor diet, pushing your training too hard for too long and factors beyond your control (like a nasty flu virus) can all slam the brakes on your “gains train.” If you want to push towards your recovery limits, you’re going to need an “ace in the hole.”

  • Granite Supplements’ Essential Aminos provide a 10g / dose of all the Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) because it’s the dietarily essential [not the non-essential1] amino acids that trigger muscle protein synthesis2-4. Leucine (3.5g) sits atop this EAA blend because of its primacy in triggering protein anabolism5-7. We were sure to focus on the other branched-chain aminos (BCAAs; Isoleucine and Valine at 1.75g each) as well because the BCAAs are known to reduce muscle breakdown and post-exercise soreness and damage8,9.
  • The amounts of the other EAAs blended in Essential Aminos are based on the anabolic EAA mixture used extensively in research2,10-13, adjusted slightly to take advantage of the anabolic signaling6 and insulin-releasing14 effects of lysine and phenylalanine.
  • This power-packed EAA supplement can thus be employed in conjunction with a small amount of carbohydrate (~35g; which could come from our Intra-Carb product) to enhance post-workout protein synthesis11,15 and gains in muscle mass16. If you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place with little to no good protein sources, EAA’s can boost the protein-synthetic effect of an otherwise suboptimal protein source, e.g., one that is too small7 or otherwise dilute in protein content or lacking in EAAs, such as some plant protein sources17. You might also use EAA to “bridge” the gap between two widely-spaced meals when you simply can’t slip away to consume a complete protein source or have a meal.

    You can read the label and decide for yourself but the flavor in about 16oz of water is the most refreshing and tasty supplement I have ever had.I enjoy it with a with water and ice even when I’m doing yard work let alone a heavy gym session.Love It!

    Love the strawberry lemonade. Its not just BCAAs…. Its EAAs with electrolytes! Love the research that went behind in making the product to provide key quality ingredients to optimize recovery. Only the best to help reach my fitness goals. 🙂

    “This sits atop a very short list of supplements I’ll spend my hard earned money on (also: fish oil, curcumin, whey).

    Taken as an intra workout, this stuff facilitates a great pump, minimizes doms and has me ready to train again sooner.

    A must have if you like to go all out in the gym.

    Flavor is great… and it’s Granite, so you know the contents match the label.”

    “I love these aminos. I definitely feel a difference taking these intraworkout. The only things I would change would be to make the container a bit wider and replace the sucralose with stevia. By the time I‚Äôm halfway through the container I have a hard time getting my hand in far enough to scoop out what‚Äôs left. And as for sucralose, it‚Äôs been linked to a few issues, particularly disturbing gut biomes and GI problems, which stevia doesn‚Äôt cause.

    Overall, though, this is a very complete supplement and is the perfect solution to intraworkout recovery.”

    I love this product! It tastes great and is high quality. I’ve been using it for several months now. However, the bottle size is considerably smaller than what it used to be for the same price! This product is also very expensive. I will be looking for a replacement soon!

    Granite’s EAAs. Stumbled upon them in one of John Meadows youtube videos discussing the benefits of EAAs and have been living the results. Significantly help in recovery and muscle building when i use them as an intra workout. One scoop in the shaker mixed in with a gatorade and i am set! A must buy for anyone looking for a solid intra workout.zz

    About to purchase my second bottle and I’m extremely pleased with results so far! I switched over from a BCAA supplement and noticed an immediate difference. I can workout harder and longer, and experience less soreness while also seeing reduced time for recovery. I saw your video with Juji and checked out the channel where I found info about EAAs and a plethora of other info. I recommend this to anyone who takes a BCAA supplement already.

    There is a reason this has an average rating of 5 stars.

    I’ve tried several products off and on and this one is my top 3 BCC/EAA, if not the top 2 or … favorite actually.

    I cannot have a lot of colorings and dyes in my diet (too much red #40 causes me issues) so this is great, and it’s a heavy dose of BCAA/EAA which I already use anyways. The quality of the powder seems higher than other brands and I actually got more blood flow somehow, although not much. Highly recommended. For people still eating tuna and ramen like me on a budget, it’s a treat, but well worth it.
