Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy 65 Serves / Fruit Fusion

This is HANDS DOWN my all time favorite taste and performance in a Preworkout blend. This stuff checks every box for my needs, best Taste, easiest blend and the cleanest and most effective ingredients. Seriously when I can find this stuff on sale on Amazon I always buy the large bottle. I primarily use one scoop for light cardio days or just an energy burst. I will always use 2 scoops for a heavy workout or day when I'm playing sports. I never feel jittery or shakey with this formula. I think the biggest plus is that it actually tastes amazing , the Grape is easily my all time favorite flavor. It's refreshing and I feel the Amino component always keeps me going throughout a had workout. I use to be a huge C4 original formula fan but this stuff is so much better in ... MoreThis is HANDS DOWN my all time favorite taste and performance in a Preworkout blend.

I would highly recommend this to anyone at any age wanting a healthy and great tasting boost of energy. I've even used a half scoop for late night car rides since I am not a coffee drinker. Easily a Five Star product!! Also absolutely love Optimum Nutrition Whey, hands down my favorite and most recommended Whey Protein.

A convert of Amino Z WPI

I've only ever had cheap whey protein supplements from Chemist Warehouse before trying Amino Z...and ho boy, I've been missing out all my life.The cheap stuff I used to drink would leave a lot of undissolved stuff even after you give it a vigorous shake/stir/jerk in your mixer but Amino Z's WPI completely dissolves easily in water ensuring all the goodness ends up in your body, not at the bottom of your bottle.I decided to try Iced Chai Latte on my first go thinking it would taste unbearable as it had the third most protein content per 100g in the lineup, with unflavoured being the one with the most protein per 100g. Boy was I so wrong. This Iced Chai Latte tastes so good that I've thrown out all other chai from the pantry.I can't wait to try the other ... MoreI've only ever had cheap whey protein supplements from Chemist Warehouse before trying Amino Z...and ho boy, I've been missing out all my life.The cheap stuff I used to drink would leave a lot of undissolved stuff even after you give it a vigorous shake/stir/jerk in your mixer but Amino Z's WPI completely dissolves easily in water ensuring all the goodness ends up in your body, not at the bottom of your bottle.I decided to try Iced Chai Latte on my first go thinking it would taste unbearable as it had the third most protein content per 100g in the lineup, with unflavoured being the one with the most protein per 100g.

It's like they're trying to be the next Baskin Robbins.Do yourself a favour and try some Amino Z today. Your guns can thank me later as they bask in the sweet stream of high quality WPI from Amino Z.

Best value for money product with top notch customer sevice - what else to ask for?!

Amino Z Whey is literally the best value for money product I can get in Australia. If you don't believe me, go whip out your calculator and do the math yourself. I literally excel spreadsheet my protein-carbsper dollar ratio and I cannot find any other product that matches them. I used to use other brand (that American one) and has since completely switched to this.Amino Z Whey is tasty (I've tried about 6 flavours) and all of them go from "not bad" to "dang this is bloody tasty". This has not been the case with other brands.In terms of customer service, they are top notch. Vanessa the customer service manager replies my email (maybe I am lucky?) always within the same freaking day. My vendor that I hired at work don't even reply so quickly.

Not only is the Amino Z responsive and informational, they are also witty in their marketing response. I mean, who doesn't like a quick chuckle on a work day, on top of a great product at the best value for money prices?In my photo, I had about 3kg left and when I saw that they have another promotion recently, I just jumped onto it.This is a really really really reliable brand and I love them so much that I'm also etting their BCAA as well (which I've had for the past 3 week) and they have been great!.Seriously, you are missing out in life, and quality gainz if you don't buy their product. Suport this Aussie business and give them an Australian Order Medal!

Do yourself a flavour!

After trying a number of other brands, a friend put me onto AminoZ, and I reckon I’m sticking around.I like to eat clean, and AminoZ ingredients have no unnecessary “fillers”. Even better, they use a great natural sweetener, steering clear of the artificial sweeteners so many others use. And the icing on the cake is that their flavours are also natural!All the flavours I’ve tried have been great and I love the broad range (esp. the Asian inspired ones!). Overall, the sweetness is pretty well balanced, but for those who might be sensitive to this it is easily adjustable through milk-water ratio, or just mixing in some unflavoured WPI.Natural ingredients, excellent responsive and helpful customer support, speedy shipping, together with the very competitive ... MoreAfter trying a number of other brands, a friend put me onto AminoZ, and I reckon I’m sticking around.I like to eat clean, and AminoZ ingredients have no unnecessary “fillers”.

I have used a many pre-workout products. My favourites comes

I have used a many pre-workout products. My favourites comes in Red tubs and is a popular brand. I tried optimum Nutrition feeling it is a trusted brand and as such their product will be reliable. Well this stuff... I take it about 30 - 40 minutes prior to workout and then workout for about 60 mins. I always workout at 10 AM ...Firstly their is no tingle... Like none. Their is no pump - NONE. Their is no energy - NONE, in fact it makes me feel the opposite... totally exhausted and broken whilst trying to work out. This isn't the review of one bad day I have used it for weeks, and compared with and without. A massive crash 2 hours later is common with pre-workout - I can put up with this if I have had an energy spike and a monster pump but just getting the crash ... MoreI have used a many pre-workout products.

Then there is the nausea....two hours post consumption for the rest of the day on every day I consumed this poison, I felt like I was going to puke.... Overall,. I would vehemently encourage its avoidance. Nothing at all will be 1000x better than this. it is awful. II have just had an after thought that this most likely a counterfeit product based on how bad it is?? How do I go about reporting that?

One of the best flavoured supplements and brilliant energy increase.

This review is a long time coming but I am now catching up with reviewing my purchases as I do believe it helps everyone. I purchased this Amino Acid for a number of reasons and not just as most may purchase it as a pre work out. Because of what it is made up of, it is so much more than just a pre work out! At the time of purchase my short term memory was foggy, I was tired all of the time and couldn't find the energy to work out. It was my sister whom is a qualified Personal Trainer that explained the benefit of BCAAs to me. Of course, before discussing what I had been trying with her I had tried all the wrong stuff that was pumped with high dosages of caffeine and little else. So imagine my surprise when I tried Amino Energy and awaited the "hangover". It never ... MoreThis review is a long time coming but I am now catching up with reviewing my purchases as I do believe it helps everyone.

Of course, before discussing what I had been trying with her I had tried all the wrong stuff that was pumped with high dosages of caffeine and little else. So imagine my surprise when I tried Amino Energy and awaited the "hangover". It never came. I had a nice uplift of energy after taking this. Enough to do a spin class and then a HIIT class straight after and I was at least 4 stone overweight with fat at the time. I absolutely loved the flavour which is quite sweet but pleasant to the taste buds. It mixes very easily with water in any shaker flask, no need to blend or even mix with a spoon, just place it in and shake. After quitting the gym (I know, I know, I just heard you eye roll!) I had some left but I use it when I'm a little lethargic and need energy to do house chores. I can hear body builders weeping right now. I have recently purchased myself a spin bike and Kettle bells and can not wait to beast it with the help of Amino Acids, which I will be purchasing more of in the near future. This particular product has kept well over months in it's well sealed jar and still tastes exactly the same as when I purchased it. It is one of my favourite flavoured supplements! The lack of the 5th star is purely because I do feel that whilst BCAAs are expensive anywhere you purchase them, I feel this is slightly more expensive than it needs to be to be competitive. Not much though and it is a quality product. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Shaker Bottle

I purchased this and love it it mixes well and a perfect size not too big and not too small also has the mls on the bottle which is very helpful and easy to mix.I also purchased the black storage bottle which keeps the product fresh and is also a good size for storage and it doesn't take up too much room.The ice coffee Whey protein isolate is absolutely delicious everyone should give all these things a go! You will not be disapointed I assure you.You can also bundle things together.I will definately be purchasing other produts and items in the future the wide selection and variety you will not find anywhere else also I love the fact that all their products have been tested and scientifically proven to be safe and proper and work. not like other brands and ... MoreI purchased this and love it it mixes well and a perfect size not too big and not too small also has the mls on the bottle which is very helpful and easy to mix.I also purchased the black storage bottle which keeps the product fresh and is also a good size for storage and it doesn't take up too much room.The ice coffee Whey protein isolate is absolutely delicious everyone should give all these things a go!

Taste Great

I received the Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Powder in Juicy Strawberry Burst complimentary through Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I have tried several other brands of powder drink mixes, and this by far is the best tasting one I have tried. This comes with a small measuring cup so there is no guess work in the amount needed. After scooping the product into a glass, I poured cold water in and mixed it with a spoon for about 30 seconds. This dissolved quite well and the taste was a delicious, true strawberry without an after taste that I find similar products to have. I preferred using only one scoop of powder per glass, as it was a bit too much caffeine for my body, but I am a smaller adult. This offers amino acids to support muscle recovery, the ... MoreI received the Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Powder in Juicy Strawberry Burst complimentary through Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

I think this is a great tasting option for those looking to add this type of product into their routine.

Tastes like doughnuts, excellent nutritional profile

I was referred to AminoZ after a friend found out how much I was paying for WPI from another brand. I was skeptical that anyone charging half the price could offer anything approaching my favourite brand in terms of nutrition and quality ingredients, but after doing an in-depth comparison between the two I was pleasantly surprised.My former brand uses grass-fed NZ whey isolate, which is considered to be the best in the world, but when I compare the AU WPI in AminoZ against it based on the amino acid profile, I found almost identical levels of BCAAs. The two also scored very evenly against each other for calories, fat, protein, and carbs per 100g.The choice for sunflower lecithin in AminoZ (Vs soy in my former brand) is a good one, as sunflower lecithin is ... MoreI was referred to AminoZ after a friend found out how much I was paying for WPI from another brand.

AminoZ also sweetens with thaumatin, while my previous brand used stevia. Thaumatin is itself a protein, contributing to the overall protein content of the powder, and manages to be very sweet without the syrupy aftertaste that stevia can have, while having minimal impact on total calories since only a tiny quantity is needed.The end result was a protein powder that tastes like liquid cinnamon doughnuts, mixes really easily (no grainy texture), equals the very best boutique WPIs in terms of nutrition, and costs half as much. My only caveats are that I wish that they published lab test results for ALL their flavours (Cinnamon Icing's results aren't published) and would disclose exactly what the "Flavours" are on their ingredients list, as I find this a little ambiguous and I like to know exactly what I'm putting into my body. Other than that I'm a happy convert to AminoZ and looking forward to trying other flavours!

WPI overall is a great quality product with good value

You can't go wrong with the Amino Z WPI product range. We have purchased many different flavours and they have done a really good job developing great tasting WPI formulations. Natural ingredients such as Himalayian pink salt and Thaumatin, a natural sweetener is a thoughtful decision to avoid the use of artificial or strange tasting sweeteners. The WPI mixes readily and is easy to drink. It also goes great with milk and greek yogurt to help hit my protein intake. Amino Z are also continually improving their product presentation. The new packaging has improved the zipper to reduce breakages. I also appreciate that Amino Z are continuing to deliver great value by offering deals throughout the year.
