KionAminos Essential Amino Acids Supplement - Amino Acid Powder, Amino Energy Powder, Essential Energy Without Caffeine, Essential Amino Acids, BCAA EAA - 30 Servings, Cool Lime

Ever since I hit 45, I’ve been on a mission—lifting heavy, eating a high-protein diet, and diving deep into regenerative health and longevity. That’s when I discovered essential amino acids (EAAs) through podcasts, and let me tell you, Kion’s CEO explained it so simply that even my sleep-deprived brain got it: As we age, our bodies aren’t as great at breaking down protein into amino acids, which are crucial for muscle, recovery, and overall health.I started taking Body Bio Amino Acids morning and night, but I needed more during the day—and the thought of swallowing five more horse pills? Hard pass. Enter Kion Aminos powder, aka the easiest (and tastiest) way to get my EAAs.Let’s talk flavor—the mango is straight-up delicious. The label says mix it with 12 oz of water, but for me, 25-26 oz is the sweet spot (pun intended). I’ve been drinking this every single day for over a month, and the results? Incredible. My little aches and pains? Gone. My post-lifting recovery? Way better. And it’s not just me—I got my 77-year-old mom on it, and she’s feeling amazing too! She mixes hers with 20 oz of water, and just like that, her joint pain disappeared.Only one tiny complaint: I need more flavors! Mango is great, but I’m ready to shake things up—berry is next. Now, if Kion could make a chocolate version so I can mix it into my protein shakes? Take my money. (Kion, are you listening?)Bottom line? This stuff works, tastes great, and makes me feel amazing. If you’re into longevity, recovery, and just feeling your best, grab a tub and thank me later!

I purchased the mango flavor multiple times so when it was time to restock, I decided to live a little. You know go outside my comfort zone. I chose the cool lime flavor and it tastes like crushed medicine and battery acid. So nasty. Neither one dissolves easily, but that’s not a problem for me.

In search of a decent pre-workout I came across these aminos. I have tried many, many pre-workouts, protein shakes (vegan ones too for variety), you name it I've probably tried it. This KION aminos is BY FAR the most DISGUSTING thing I have ever, EVER tasted. I mean it is VILE!! Buyer be ware!It tastes NOTHING like lime. First of all, it does not easily mix into anything, so you have to either shake it or blend it. I first shook it with just water, and muscled it down. The second time, I blended it with 1 frozen strawberry and some fresh lime juice, STILL gross. When you blend/shake it, these bubbles form which taste absolutely acrid. Just nasty! I don't like leaving negative reviews. This product is just so terrible and pricey people NEED to know. If anyone has had success drinking this without your body making a gag reflex please feel free to share with me! At first, I thought I could not stomach it because of the stevia...no.. it's beyond that. I'd be curious if a completely unflavored one would be better because it could be that whatever they add to make it taste "cool lime" is what makes it so disgusting.Again, cannot stress enough, it is NOT tasty. I am not a picky person, and I consider myself a very well rounded consumer of health products usually aiming for the least processed most natural foods.

That just were not going like how they used to. I sat down one day and figured out why. I had stopped taking EAA's because I thought they weren't working.FF to working out and, being older, just struggling to feel good. I then researched different EAA's and decided on Kion since they actually tell you what's in it vs others with "proprietary blend" which doesn't break down. I'm on my 2nd container (so 2nd month) and I definitely feel a difference. My runs are going better, I'm recovering better and I just feel better.Flavors: I've tried Watermelon and Mango. Both are decent tasting (let's face, this type of stuff just doesn't taste the best in general) but I'm finding the Mango to be my favorite. I can actually drink the mango by itself mixed with water and ice and find it very refreshing. I will often toss a scoop of the Kion into whatever I have left of my hydration in the bottle after a workout so many times it's mixed with Nuun and I'll finish my Nuun with the EAA's added. The watermelon was really good when I added it to freshly made watermelon juice, squeezed lime and soda water (or lime seltzer). I imagine adding the mango to any small amount of fruit juice with lime or and soda water will be refreshing as well. Anyway...Quality product, taste compared to others is good, brand with good reputation, easily mixes with whatever (I just usually shake to mix in any lidded container and it mixes perfectly). I have item on subscribe & save, though I wish it was a little more affordable. However, having tried cheaper EAA's, it's cheaper for a reason and definitely didn't work as well for me.

I've been using Kion Aminos Essential Amino Acids for a while, and I definitely notice an improvement in my recovery. It helps reduce soreness and keeps me feeling energized after workouts, which I love!The only downside is the taste—it’s a bit bitter, but honestly, it’s not too bad. I just mix it with a flavored drink, and it’s totally manageable. If you’re looking for an effective amino acid supplement, this one delivers!

I want to love it because I believe in the science behind essential amino acids and their benefits for muscles. The watermelon flavor is super yummy, though a bit on the sweet side for me. Unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with my sensitive digestion. I gave it the full 30 days to try and get used to it, but it just didn’t work for me. I still think it could be great for others, but it wasn’t the right fit for me.
