Kion Aminos Essential Amino Acids Powder, EAA & BCAA, Lean Muscle, Energy | All 9 aminos, caffeine-free, sugar-free, to curb cravings and support muscle with age, dieting, or GLP-1 use

Aminos are so important and have so many health benefits! It dissolves easily, but has a very light taste, so the taste might not be liked by some. I do feel a different in my muscles recovery after hard workouts! Going on my second tub, will be a lifetime user!

That just were not going like how they used to. I sat down one day and figured out why. I had stopped taking EAA's because I thought they weren't working. FF to working out and, being older, just struggling to feel good. I then researched different EAA's and decided on Kion since they actually tell you what's in it vs others with "proprietary blend" which doesn't break down. I'm on my 2nd container (so 2nd month) and I definitely feel a difference. My runs are going better, I'm recovering better and I just feel better. Flavors: I've tried Watermelon and Mango. Both are decent tasting (let's face, this type of stuff just doesn't taste the best in general) but I'm finding the Mango to be my favorite. I can actually drink the mango by itself mixed with water and ice and find it very refreshing. I will often toss a scoop of the Kion into whatever I have left of my hydration in the bottle after a workout so many times it's mixed with Nuun and I'll finish my Nuun with the EAA's added. The watermelon was really good when I added it to freshly made watermelon juice, squeezed lime and soda water (or lime seltzer). I imagine adding the mango to any small amount of fruit juice with lime or and soda water will be refreshing as well. Anyway... Quality product, taste compared to others is good, brand with good reputation, easily mixes with whatever (I just usually shake to mix in any lidded container and it mixes perfectly). I have item on subscribe & save, though I wish it was a little more affordable. However, having tried cheaper EAA's, it's cheaper for a reason and definitely didn't work as well for me.

This is by far the worst tasting supplement/ drink I have ever had and I’ve tried a lot. However this is my first EAA specific one. Are they all this bad? Tasted like chewing on an aspirin with maybe the rind of an unripe watermelon. Then it’s like the gift that keeps on giving because I can still taste it hours later. I’m usually pretty stubborn and will finish a container so my money doesn’t go to waste but not sure about this one. I’m gonna go take a ginger shot and see if that gets the taste out.

Day 1 Review – I’ll update after 4 weeks I wanted to leave an honest first impression and then come back after using this consistently. The watermelon flavor is honestly awful. I was expecting something refreshing, but it was far from it. I’m hoping I either get used to it or find a better way to mix it. That said, I didn’t buy it for the taste—I bought it for the potential benefits. I’m committing to taking it consistently for the next four weeks to see if I notice any improvements in recovery, energy, muscle maintenance, or overall performance. I’ll come back and update this review with whether the results are worth suffering through the flavor. If it delivers noticeable benefits, I may just have to hold my nose and keep drinking it!

I would recommend these amino acids to anyone over 40 years old as they help with digesting healthy proteins and with joint pain relief.

excellent quality

I am a 45 year old female. I am a weight lifting and yoga enthusiast, and a mom of 2. I have been heavily marketed this product, so I decided to give it a whirl. So far, I can definitely say it helps me with my energy and recovery. It mixes really well and does not bloat or make me feel gross. Unfortunately, I cannot take creatine for this reason. I am hoping overtime it can help me build more strength, but so far, I am super content with the increased energy and recovery. The only thing is the taste and aftertaste are not great in my humble opinion. I purchased watermelon, but next time I plan to try mango. It is worth a try for health and fitness enthusiasts.

Almost didn’t buy it because of the taste concern in other reviews, sure glad I tried it! For a supplement this taste is great, no issues drinking a bottle of it (I mix it into a 16 ounce water bottle). It also mixes great and once mixed it’s so clear I sometimes can’t even tell it apart from water. Can’t testify to long term benifits yet but assuming it’s got the aminos in it as claimed, I’d consider this product winner-winner-chicken-dinner.
