The product contains several Vitamins and amino acids. Serving size is 3 tablespoons. This contains 100 calories and 15 grams of Protein. So far, so good. Under other ingredients, the third item listed was fructose which is a sugar. The order of the ingredients is generally given by percentage contained in the produce. So it may have a high sugar content which might be a problem for RNY gastric bypass patients.

I have used Amin.0 in the past, it's low sugar, only like 5-10 calories per scoop, but it does have caffeine which some people aren't allowed to have. The taste is pretty good, well for the grape and orange, I don't suggest lemon lime.

Isopure also has a pretty good Amino supplement for recovery, it is a little chalkier than I prefer, but the flavor is good

Prefer using BCAA Amino powder mixed with Protein shakes right after workout.

The powder does not have any sugar or carbs and provides any needed amino acids to support recovery.

I see improved recovery when using it, especially after intervals or hard workouts.

Do you get this at GNC? What brand do you purchase?
