Physical energy		I would recomend this to anyone who is looking for a great tasting product that gives you extra energy towards the end of your workout.

Muscle gain		Wish it came in bigger containers, though.
Physical energy		It's definitely actually healthy, tastes incredible, sustained energy.
Taste		It's definitely actually healthy, tastes incredible, sustained energy.


Euphoria		but has little effect on your mood.
Endurance		What caffeine does is provide large amounts of energy to the body while also increasing mental alertness while also fighting off muscle fatigue.
Anti-catabolic		Citric Acid is a natural preservative, usually sour in taste, and usually inserted into soft drinks or candy to alter the flavor.
Texture		First there is Cellulose Gum which is used to thicken, stabilize and emulsify a product.
Endurance		You will have more stamina, feel stronger throughout your workouts, and you will not be nearly as sore the next day.
Muscle gain		but it can be taken to provide energy and promote lean muscle mass (neither one of those statements has actually been proven).
Physical energy		Energy receives an 8.5/10 or an Excellent rating.
Physical energy		Energy is billed as a product that provides, “Essential Amino Acids Including BCAAs!”
Physical energy		While it also “Supports Nitric Oxide Synthesis With Natural Energizers!”
Physical energy		Energy is 2 scoops for a mild energy level and 5 grams of amino acids, 4 scoops for a moderate energy level and 10 grams of amino acids, and 6 scoops for an intense energy levels and 15 grams of amino acids.
Physical energy		Energy you put into your pre-workout drink, you will receive about 10 calories and 2 grams of carbohydrates, with 0 grams of sugar.
Physical energy		Energy a product that each and every one of you should have on your supplement list.
Physical energy		The first ingredient on the list is Taurine, and Taurine is usually billed to be able to provide you with energy,
Physical energy		but it can be taken to provide energy and promote lean muscle mass (neither one of those statements has actually been proven).
Physical energy		What caffeine does is provide large amounts of energy to the body while also increasing mental alertness while also fighting off muscle fatigue.
Physical energy		And the last ingredient under the Energy Blend is Green Coffee Extract, which has properties very similar to that of the Green Tea Extract.
Physical energy		Energy is full of beneficial ingredients.
Physical energy		Now, from my personal experience this product is not going to give you mind-blowing energy like some other pre-workout supplements,
Physical energy		Energy and they are all amazing, I have nothing bad to say about the product there.
Physical energy		but for a product that has the word “energy” in the title, it doesn’t provide much of it.
Physical energy		Energy a 8/10 rating.
Physical energy		My reasoning for this is that I believe that Optimum Nutrition can revamp the formula for this product to actually provide a large boost of “energy.”

Recovery ability		The next ingredient listed is Lysine, which is plays a role in calcium absorption, building muscle protein, recovery from surgery or sports injury, as well as the body’s production of hormones, enzymes and antibodies.
Taste		Citric Acid is a natural preservative, usually sour in taste, and usually inserted into soft drinks or candy to alter the flavor.
Taste		In terms of taste, I have tried all three flavors of Essential AmiN.O.
Ingredient profile		I would have to tend to agree with this label given the effects you get pre-workout, intra-workout, and post-workout.
Ingredient profile		Next on the label we have L-Leucine, which is utilized by the body in the liver and muscle tissue.
Ingredient profile		The next ingredient on the label is Citrulline, which is a precursor of Arginine, and it provides a readily available source material for Arginine production, which in turn, can be used for the production of Nitric Oxide.
Ingredient profile		Energy is full of beneficial ingredients.

Physical energy		Having quit my 2-3 can a day soda habit to drop some lbs, this comes in handy to curb energy crashes.
Pump		Not for somebody who wants a hardcore pump...
Taste		I have tried grape, fruit punch, and orange and like all the flavors.
Taste		I would describe the taste as a cross between jello and kool-aid.
Taste		If you get a clump, it is very chemically tasting,
Mixes well		If you get a clump, it is very chemically tasting,
Mixes well		but overall it mixes pretty well in a shaker.


Focus		I don't really used it for my gym pre-workout drink because it does help me focus and I do not get enough pump.
