Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy is the all-day amino supplement built for athletes who train, work, and live on a schedule. Each serving provides 100mg of natural-source caffeine (green tea and coffee bean), 5g of amino acids, and a 440mg electrolyte blend — all for around five calories and zero sugar. The low caffeine dose makes it flexible enough to use pre-workout, intra-workout, as an afternoon energy lift, or post-workout when you still want something in a glass. We carry it in Pineapple Twist and Tangerine Wave.

Best for: Athletes who want a light, flexible energy and amino drink they can use at multiple points in the day — pre-workout, intra-workout, or afternoon. Ideal for those who don't need maximum caffeine and want something less heavy than a full pre-workout formula.
Not ideal for: Those wanting a full pre-workout stack — Amino Energy is a light energy and amino formula with 100mg caffeine per serving. High-stim athletes may find 100mg caffeine too moderate.

Who Is This For?
Optimum Nutrition amino energy is ideal for active adults who want a low-calorie energy and amino acid boost without a heavy pre-workout. It works well as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, a light pre-workout primer, or a flavourful intra-workout drink.
Who Is This NOT For?
Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing, or sensitive to caffeine or beta-alanine (Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy warnings), and not for anyone who needs a stimulant-free option. Beta-alanine can cause a tingling feeling. Read the warnings on your container. Not a complete protein source and does not replace a post-workout protein shake for muscle recovery needs.
