## Description

Amino acids are the subunits that make up proteins. They are necessary for the function of all cells, for tissue repair, and for the production of enzymes and neurotransmitters.* The body uses 20 amino acids to construct proteins, but nine "essential amino acids" cannot be made by the human body and must be supplied by the diet in order to achieve proper protein synthesis and maintain overall health.* People with limited diets or poor digestion may not get enough essential amino acids from their diet. In contrast to proteins or peptide-bound amino acids, NOW® Sports Amino-9 Essentials™ has all 9 essential amino acids in their superior free-form state and in the proportions recommended by the National Academy of Sciences to optimize protein synthesis and tissue repair for adults age 19 and over.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Great unique product - Amino-9 essentials contains all of the amino acids that your body needs but can't synthesize on its own. They are all broken down to their simplest form so they are instantly absorbed into the body for use. All of the BCAAs are present which are a major part for muscle growth. Unlike BCAA powders, this product contains the other essential amino acids in the correct ratio. Too many BCAAs without the others isn't great for the body. While the label will tell you to consume the product with fruit juice, it isn't the best way. It doesn't mix well at all! Amino acids are very bitter and will make anything taste bad. I like adding it to apple sauce since it masks the flavor well and its thickness helps mix the amino acids much better than juice. If you want to drink it, add it to Accelerade which also does a pretty good job of killing the flavor if you use two scoops.
Review: Amazing for poor gut absorbtion/nutrition deficiency - I'm a little different than most for this, because I take amino acids as I'm missing my colon and have an ileostomy bag. My food goes through fast and I was starting to have things that were pointing to a nutritional deficiency, along with flat out already being in pretty poor health for a bunch of reasons. Anyway, we decided to give amino acids a try, seeing that if I couldn't break down the protein I ate in time, maybe I wasn't getting my essential amino acids. First, this stuff is rancid gross tasting. Totally vile. Like licking pennies dipped in dust and sprinkled with bleach. My routine is a heaping tablespoon into about 8oz of juice like a string cherry/cranberry/grape juice and then adding a good heart squeeze of Mio drops or the like. It still will taste soured and sorta gross, but it's no longer undrinkable. For me, the results are so worth it. I stopped losing mass from my legs, the daily headaches stopped, I no longer was constantly freezing. My blood work started to improve, and I started having more and more energy to function. I started feeling good, enough to actually start doing more activity. My doctor and I are very, very pleased. This particular brand is the highest listed dose of any amino acid supplement with no "extras" that I can find. Most don't label the amounts, or they add caffiene. I've run out before for a week, and the cruddy feelings - cold, tired and headachy) started coming back. I felt better within a couple days after starting back on it. I fo through about 1 bottle per month. I really think that folks with altered guts should talk with their doctor about trying this, especially if they have constant tiredness, chills and headaches. My doctor and I are very pleased with the results I've had.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the 9 amino acids in this product?**
A: It contains the 9 essential amino acids.. but I do not recommend this product being that they getting their raw materials from China and other countries.  Call and ask a Now Foods nutritionist at 888-669-3663 if you have any other questions or want to know the exact country the (raw material) amino acid is made. Dymatize and Universal have a good quality amino acid complex that you may want to try

**Q: What does it taste like without added flavor?  Bitter?  Sour?  orâ¦?**
A: Nothing added so, yeah bitter. This is a basic recipe I use, in a blender:

1 cup water
1 banana (for thickness)
Handful of frozen fruit (usually blueberries for me, frozen makes a cold shake)
1 tablespoon protein powder
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

**Q: Does this product contain gluten?**
A: This product is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. It is however produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.

**Q: where do you get the raw materiel from?**
A: The contact number to Now Foods is 888-669-3663.. Being that there's 9 amino acids, I'm certain that each one may come from different countries

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPDATE*** I figured out how to tell it's the real deal !!
*by R***. on August 27, 2019*

Original: Maybe it doesn't DISSOLVE but it does wash down your mouth just fine without sticking or anything, and the flavor REALLY isn't as bad as people say. It does NOT taste like "chemicals". I mean it kinda does, but it doesn't taste like CLEANER chemicals or ANYTHING like that. Its just kinda bitter. The flavor honestly seems harmless to me, that's my opinion. The mistake theyre making is trying to mask it when you should just take it straight and get it over with. Its really not that bad. On the other hand, is it working? Does it DO anything? Dude I have literally no idea XD It probably does. Update: I have been struggling with an eye infection. Ive been taking as much medicinal mushroom (turkey tail etc) as I can to battle this thing, but then I discovered that almost all of our white blood cells are made up of proteins, especially peptide chains. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS STUFF TASTES SWEET!!! Legitimately sweet with the faintest hint of bitter. My body was craving this stuff. The mushrooms have all the vitamin D and selenium in the world, but they didnt have these ESSENTIAL amino acids!! Its working. This stuff is actually good for fighting off a bacterial infection dependent on macrophages, which are basically just gigantic blobs of internally created proteins. This is probably the single best supplement in general as it's literally everything you could ever need from your diet for fancy enzymatic stuff, which is where all of the cool human aspects come from. And pro tip, I would not blend it up to get it dissolved as that could easily damage the molecules. Take it like a man to the face.
