Nine essential amino acids. Fully disclosed.
Essential amino acids are amino acids the body cannot synthesise in sufficient quantities itself and therefore must obtain through the diet.

WHY EAAs?
Beyond the three BCAAs.
Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are the three branched-chain amino acids commonly known as BCAAs.
But they are only three members of the nine-amino-acid essential group.
NothingExtra Essential Amino Acids includes all nine, making the formula broader than a traditional BCAA-only powder.
The amounts are shown individually, so you can see exactly how much of each amino acid the formula provides.

What Are Essential Amino Acids?
Amino acids are compounds used throughout the body and are the building blocks from which proteins are formed.
Nine amino acids are considered essential because the body cannot produce sufficient amounts itself and they therefore need to be obtained through the diet.
These are:
- Leucine
- Isoleucine
- Valine
- Lysine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Histidine
- Methionine
- Tryptophan
EAAs vs BCAAs
BCAAs are a smaller group consisting of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine.
These three amino acids are themselves essential, but they represent only three of the nine essential amino acids.
An EAA formula includes the three BCAAs plus the other six essential amino acids.
That makes EAAs the broader amino-acid blend when comparing the two formats.
Why So Much Leucine?
Leucine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids and is the largest individual component of this formula.
Each 15g serving provides 5.3g Leucine.
The remaining serving consists of the other eight essential amino acids in the amounts shown in the amino-acid profile.
How To Use
Mix 1 scoop (approximately 15g) with approximately 500ml water.
Shake or mix thoroughly until dispersed.
The product can be consumed around training or at another convenient point during the day according to your overall diet and routine.
Follow the recommended serving directions shown on the current product packaging.
When Should You Take EAAs?
There is no requirement to consume essential amino acids within a narrow pre- or post-workout window.
They can be consumed before, during or after training if that timing is convenient for your routine.
Overall dietary protein and amino-acid intake across the day remains more important than relying on one specific timing window.
Who Is It For?
NothingExtra Essential Amino Acids is designed for adults looking for a convenient powdered source of all nine essential amino acids.
It may particularly appeal to gym-goers, strength athletes, runners, endurance athletes and people who enjoy an amino-acid drink around training.
Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and halal diets.
