Amino X 1kg for Intra-Workout and Recovery Support
BSN Amino X delivers 10g of free-form amino acids per 14.5g scoop at 51kcal, including 2g L-leucine, 1g L-isoleucine, 1g L-valine, 3.5g L-alanine and 2.5g taurine, alongside 0.49mg vitamin B6 and 2.5mcg vitamin D. The stimulant-free formula is effervescent and sugar-free. The 1kg tub provides 69 servings across multiple flavours.
Free-form amino acids bypass digestion and absorb directly into the bloodstream, making them available faster than protein-derived aminos from food or a shake. The BCAA fraction (leucine, isoleucine, valine at 2:1:1) supports muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle protein breakdown during training. L-alanine at 3.5g contributes to energy production via the glucose-alanine cycle - a relevant pathway during prolonged aerobic output. Taurine supports cellular hydration and muscle function. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein metabolism and energy-yielding metabolism.
At 69 servings from a 1kg tub, Amino X provides meaningful value for an amino acid drink in the category. The effervescent format makes it a practical intra-workout option - lighter on the stomach than a protein shake mid-session and easy to sip through a warm-up or during rest periods. The stimulant-free formulation means it can be used across any session regardless of pre-workout intake and at any time of day without affecting sleep.
Built for gym-goers and endurance athletes who want a flavoured intra-workout or between-meals amino drink. The formula covers BCAAs but not the full nine essential amino acids - not the right choice for anyone specifically seeking a complete EAA product. Contains soy lecithin. Produced in a facility that processes milk.
Alternatives: Strom EssentialMax EAA 450g (14.4g total EAAs including all 9 essentials) for a complete amino acid profile, or Applied Amino Fuel EAA 390g as an intra-workout EAA drink with comparable serving count.
