Always a great product
Very effective aminos. Very good even though they have a potent smell (one of the aminos smells very bad – but this is normal)

Excellent Supplementary Amino Acids for “Rounding Out’ Your Supplement Program
If you regularly supplement with targeted amino acids for body building or other purposes (i.e. using targeted aminos like l-cysteine, l-arginine, l-tryptophan, etc.), it’s a very good idea to periodically supplement with a well-rounded amino supplement like this to fill in the gaps and keep your body’s natural homeostasis systems in balance. Because targeted aminos, helpful as they are, have a tendancy to cause depletions in other amino acids (which are all consituents of protein) when you oversupply one specific amino acid over an extended period of time. Supplementing with a broad spectrum amino acid supplement like this one helps counteract this effect. This is a high-quality supplement at a great price; Country Life is one of my favorite, trusted brands & I find these help keep energy levels up and skin healthy. This is also a great supplement for older people who might not follow a healthy/well-rounded diet or who suffer from low appetite. Highly recommended!P.S. Amino Acid supplementation is useful for more than just bodybuilding (can help with heart health, mood, concentration, memory, and much, much more). Here’s a very good layman’s reference book about individual amino acids, FYI: The Healing Nutrients Within: Facts, Findings, and New Research on Amino Acids.—Have a question about this supplement? Just leave a Comment & I’ll be happy to help you, if I can.

Fantastic Supplement for Kundalini Syndrome When You Need to Travel to India and Can’t Access Protien Easily.
Excellent product – I used this when getting back from India to increase the amino acids in my body. I was reading this wonderful book: Are You Getting Enlightened or Losing Your Mind?: A Spiritual Program for Mental Fitness about Kundalini Syndrome and it says that when you are around exceptionally high energy people, places, etc (like the temple I visited in India), it helps a lot to ground with protein in your diet. The issue is that protein is scarce in most rural parts of India, so on my next trip to India, this one is coming with me. After 12 days of little protein, I felt a significant difference in my body and mental stability. This supplement got my feet right back on the ground.

Takes a while to be effective
I bought this to boost my energy level after my workouts and ease any muscle fatigue I may have.It took me roughly 10 days to 2 weeks to notice a difference, but my endurance has definitely increased and my fatigue has significantly decreased. I like the fact it has occurred gradually instead of the “high” feeling you get from an extra dose of caffeine, for example. I physically feel and look better and my workouts and recovery are definitely improved. the only complaint I have is the scent of the pills when you open the bottle….just a little on the odorous side. 🙂 Thank you so much for a great product!

Pretty good, but be aware that B6 is also added to it
I like this okay, though not as much as the Swanson brand I was using before (which isn’t available anymore) but I don’t like that the B6 is included. B6 helps protein to be absorbed, so I understand why they added it, but it can also, in larger doses especially, cause very vivid dreams (or even nightmares) and I am very susceptible to that, so I have to be careful how much of it I have at once. But otherwise, it’s a pretty good product.

ruining my appetite and generally annoying me. Even my water smelled awful Well
These pills have driven me insane! I was changing a lot of things in my life, from my diet, things in my room, working out, clothes, a new car, etc., so when I started having a very strange sense of smell, which I finally was able to rule out allergies, I still had a TON of things to try and eliminate. I have had random periods of this awful, rotten, spoiled fruit smell come over me, ruining my appetite and generally annoying me. Even my water smelled awful Well, months later, I just took the last of these pills the other day, and now, after all of this time, my awful sense of smell has been gone 100%. No random awful smells during periods of the day. The only thing that had changed has been my (lack of) use of these pills. I had a feeling it was related when I smelled the bottle and they had a strong, nasty odor, but so did everything else, so I let it go. But finally, I found the source.If your sense of smell has been changing for the worse, these pills might be why. I went back to the Now Sports brand, like I have used for about a year before trying a “nicer” brand. No problems at all.
