Concord Grape

When I saw Optimum Nutrition stepped into the BCAA game, I got excited, because I figured they were big enough to offer a quality product at a competitive price. Apparently, I was wrong. I'm not sure if Amino Energy was intended to revolutionize intra- or pre-workout supplements, and it seems Optimum wasn't sure, either. What is certain - however you look at it, Amino Energy is underdosed. There's not really enough caffeine in here to give you a boost, and the entire amino acid blend is just 5g. So you'll either have to live with the tiny, possibly irrelevant doses of everything, or just use a massive amount of servings. The issue there is that the tub is so tiny you'd be buying a new tub weekly. There are some positive aspects: mixability is excellent, and the flavor is great, even though I hate grape.
