Full directions ↓Tips: Essential Amino Energy contains 50 mg of caffeine per scoop, so do not consume after 5:00 PM if you have difficulty sleeping. Essential Amino Energy also contains beta-Alanine and may cause a temporary tingling sensation on your skin. This is normal. With continued use, the intensity of the sensation will decrease or disappear.
All warnings ↓No third-party testing mark on the label
Marks like NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport mean batches are tested for banned substances. Their absence does not mean a product is contaminated — only that nobody independent has said it isn’t.
