Question 3

Accepted Answer

Sorry we do not provide samples of Essential Amino Acids.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Essential Amino Acids are packaged in resealable 250g and 1kg pouches.

Question 5

Where are Essential Amino Acids made?

Accepted Answer

We blend and package all our products in our own manufacturing facility here in Australia. We source our pharmaceutical grade amino acids from China, as do 99% of all supplement companies.  See here for further information .

Question 6

Is the packaging for Essential Amino Acids recyclable?

Accepted Answer

In theory yes, but not in all council areas right now. The REDcycle program has been discontinued, and the industry is working together to find a solution to continue recycling soft plastics. For now, we recommend checking with your local council, but most require you to put the packaging in your regular landfill bin.

Question 7

Can I receive a discount buying more than one bag of Essential Amino Acids at once?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Price breaks for Essential Amino Acids begin when you purchase 2 bags. Just add more than that to your cart to see the savings.

Question 8

What do EAAs do?

Accepted Answer

EAAs are Essential Amino Acids. These are unique in that they are the only amino acids which can’t be manufactured by the body. Quality protein sources like whey, casein, meat and some plant sources are usually high in essential amino acids, however non animal sources rarely have what is considered “ideal” ratios. EAAs are used for building muscle, aiding recovery and keeping the immune system strong.

Question 9

How are EAAs different from BCAAs?

Accepted Answer

Essential Amino Acids include the three BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) as well as 6 other amino acids, Phenylalanine, Histidine, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine and Tryptophan. While arguably not ideal, Essential Amino Acids could be used as sole protein source which is not the case for BCAAs.

Question 10

Can I get EAAs from protein?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you sure can and getting EAAs and BCAAs from protein is certainly far better value for money than getting them in isolated form.

Question 11

Are EAAs a waste of money?

Accepted Answer

EAAs can be used as a readily available, rapidly absorbing protein source. These are ideally taken around training time when rapid absorption is most beneficial. EAAs are not a waste of money assuming they are a reasonable price. Arguably, as EAAs contain the most vital amino acids a lower dose can be used for the same effect – in comparison to a protein source like whey which requires a larger dose to hit the minimum requirements of Leucine required to trigger repair and growth.

Question 12

Can I just take Leucine instead if EAAs?

Accepted Answer

No, while Leucine is the key amino acids which promotes muscle growth and recovery, it is a single BCAA, and only one of 9 essential amino acids. Taking Essential Amino Acids will have a more significant effect.

Question 13

What is an effective dose size of EAAs?

Accepted Answer

A typical dose of EAAs is 10 to 20 grams. A 10 gram dose would be considered minimal in most people to stimulate protein synthesis.
