EAA (Essential Amino Acids)

What It Is:
A blend of the nine essential amino acids your body can’t make on its own. They’re the raw materials for muscle repair, recovery, and growth.

What It’s Used For:

• Stimulates muscle protein synthesis

• Aids recovery during fasting or long workouts

• Prevents muscle breakdown under low-calorie conditions

Typical Dose:

• 5–10 g daily, often intra- or post-workout

Side Effects:

• Very safe; overuse can lead to mild stomach discomfort

Why It’s Rated 4/5:
Strong research for recovery and lean mass preservation. Essentially a full-spectrum upgrade to BCAAs.
