Effectiveness rated 70 due to solid evidence for EAA-induced MPS (e.g., chronic 12g EAA/day increased lean mass by 1.5kg and basal FSR by 50% in elderly, PMID 19208731; meta-analysis PMID 29508691 shows gains in strength/FFM). However, in young trained individuals, benefits minimal if protein intake adequate (Examine.com: BCAAs not superior to placebo for performance). Safety high (95) as no major risks at 10g doses; PubMed reviews note transient GI effects only. Quality 70 reflects lack of test
Aminos Powder is a decent EAA supplement for boosting MPS and recovery in protein-deficient or vegan diets. Evidence supports moderate benefits, with high safety. Opt for third-party tested brands over generics.
