Essential Amino Acids

Essential Amino Acids

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the foundation of muscle recovery, energy, performance and overall health, and your body can’t produce them on its own. That’s why EAAs are so important for anyone who trains, whether it's the gym, running, Hyrox, boxing or the weekly grind to stay in shape.

Our EAA collection brings together the best flavours, the cleanest formulas and the most effective blends from top brands like Applied Nutrition, PER4M and more. Every scoop delivers the key aminos your muscles rely on: leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan and histidine. These help support muscle repair, help reduce breakdown and keep you performing at your best session after session.

Use them pre-workout for energy and focus, intra-workout for hydration and endurance or post-workout to speed up recovery. They mix instantly, taste incredible and fit perfectly into any fitness routine.

Try a flavour, find your favourite, then lock in with a tub. EAAs give you exactly what you need to train harder, recover faster and stay consistent.

Everything You Need to Know About EAAs (Essential Amino Acids)

If you’ve been anywhere near fitness TikTok, gym culture or supplement shelves recently, you’ve probably heard people talking about EAAs. Some swear by them, some don’t really understand them, and some think they’re just another fancy drink with a nice flavour. The truth sits somewhere in the middle, EAAs are simple, powerful and incredibly useful when you use them properly.

So let’s break it down.

What are EAAs, really?

EAA stands for Essential Amino Acids. These are the nine amino acids your body can’t produce by itself. You must get them from food or supplements. If protein is the brick that builds muscle, EAAs are the raw building blocks inside the brick.

When you train, especially with weights or high-intensity cardio, your muscles break down. EAAs are what your body uses to repair and rebuild that damage, helping you come back stronger. Without enough EAAs, your recovery slows, muscle growth stalls and your performance drops.

Why do EAAs matter so much?

Here’s the thing: most people don’t eat enough high-quality protein across the day. Even people who think they do often underestimate how much they actually get. That’s where EAAs help massively.

EAAs can:

  • Support muscle repair and recovery

  • Reduce muscle breakdown during training

  • Improve endurance and hydration when used intra-workout

  • Boost energy and training output

  • Help maintain lean muscle while dieting or cutting

  • Support overall performance and consistency

They basically give your muscles the exact raw materials they need — with zero calories, zero sugar and zero heaviness.

EAAs vs BCAAs: What’s the difference?

You’ve probably seen both names around. BCAAs contain just three amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. EAAs include all nine.

BCAAs help with recovery, yes — but they work far better when the rest of the EAAs are present. EAAs are the full construction crew. BCAAs are three employees who need the rest of the team to finish the job.

If you want full support, EAAs win every time.

When should you take EAAs?

The beauty of EAAs is how flexible they are. You can take them:

  • Before training for energy and improved focus

  • During training for hydration, stamina and reduced fatigue

  • After training to speed up recovery

  • Any time of day when you want a clean, refreshing drink that actually benefits your body

And because they’re light and fruity, they’re perfect for people who don’t like heavy protein shakes while training.

Are EAAs worth it?

Short answer: yes. If you train regularly, want better recovery and enjoy a drink that helps instead of just tastes good, EAAs are one of the easiest upgrades to your routine. They’re simple, effective and backed by real sports nutrition science.

Our EAA collection brings you the best blends and flavours on the market, from Millions® classics to clean tropical mixes, so you can lift stronger, run faster and recover smarter.

Consistency builds results. EAAs help you stay consistent.
