9g EAA per serving
Applied Nutrition Amino Fuel EAA is a complete essential amino acid powder providing all nine EAAs in a single 13g serving. Each serving delivers 9g of EAAs including 6g of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio - L-leucine 3000mg, L-isoleucine 1500mg and L-valine 1500mg - plus 2500mg L-glutamine and the remaining six EAAs (L-lysine 1000mg, L-methionine 150mg, L-tryptophan 45mg and three others). The 390g tub provides 30 servings at 2kcal per serving.
L-leucine at 3000mg crosses the threshold for mTORC1 activation - the primary trigger for muscle protein synthesis. L-isoleucine and L-valine at 1500mg each support the leucine action and nitrogen retention. L-glutamine at 2500mg supports gut integrity and recovery. The six non-BCAA EAAs including tryptophan (45mg) and methionine (150mg) complete the full spectrum the body cannot synthesise.
What Amino Fuel addresses that BCAA products do not is completeness. A BCAA product covers three of the nine EAAs the body cannot make. Amino Fuel covers all nine plus glutamine. For trainees in a deficit or with limited dietary protein variety, the full EAA profile matters more than leucine alone because the other six EAAs are co-rate-limiting for protein synthesis.
Amino Fuel EAA suits natural athletes in hypertrophy or strength phases who want to maximise MPS signalling, and deficit trainees who cannot rely on whole food for complete EAA coverage. It is a targeted amino supplement, not a protein powder. Contains no common allergens; produced in a facility handling milk, soy and gluten.
