AMINO X
BSN AMINO X Review
If you’re using amino acids and haven’t heard of Amino X by BSN, you’re likely using an amino supplement of average quality, at best. It’s time we gave you the goods on the powerful amino supplement known as Amino X. BSN has developed a reputation as a leader in performance enhancement and innovation. It’s known for quality, diversity in its range of supplements, and using the latest cutting-edge ingredients in every product it makes. Amino X is the newest offspring in BSN’s recovery/performance. Yes, it’s an amino acid product. But no, it’s not like any other amino on the market.
BSN’s Amino X, first and foremost, is effervescent, which is really cool. If you’ve tried BSN’s N.O. Explode, you know what effervescent means. It’s the semi-carbonated, kinda bubbly explosion in your mouth when you taste it. It’s almost sour or tart but still awesome, like you can feel it working in your mouth. Amino X is a unique amino acid product in this respect. Effervescent technology helps enhance solubility, and it’s one of the things that made the original N.O. Explode pre-workout powder so effective. BSN has applied this technology to Amino X, which really impresses us.
Amino X Is Instantized
Next, BSN has chosen to instantize the amino acids in Amino X to make the aminos easier to dissolve and thus better absorbed. This process allows the formula to get to your hungry muscles exceptionally fast! The more soluble the powder, the better it dissolves and the faster it works! As soon as you drop a scoop of Amino X into water, it instantly dissolves completely. And with a 10-gram blend of BCAAs and the essential amino acids L-alanine, taurine, and L-citrulline, Amino X will help your body recover from today’s workout and prepare for tomorrow’s.
Amino X Is Sugar-Free and Stim-Free
For those looking to cut down and lose fat, you’ll be happy to know that Amino X has zero sugar! That’s surprising given how great it tastes. For those sensitive to stimulants, you’ll be happy to know this product is 100 percent stimulant-free. And for everyone in between, you’ll be happy with your increased endurance, muscle recovery, workout performance, and overall increase in protein synthesis. BSN’s Amino X comes in Blue Raz, Grape, Watermelon, Green Apple, and Fruit Punch, so there’s something for everyone. The watermelon is by far our favourite, as it’s just tart enough because of the effervescence, and yet still remains sweet.
How to Take Amino X
Mix one scoop with 177 millilitres of cold water or any beverage of your choice before, during, or after your workout or any time you need an amino fix. Throw it in your favourite pre-workout powder or sip it between sets. If it’s good enough for Flex Lewis and Amanda Latona, it’s good enough for the rest of us!
Amino X Under the Microscope
Taurine is an amino acid, a building block of protein, that has been shown to support neurological development, regulate the balance of water and salts in the blood, and improve athletic performance.
L-Alanine is considered one of the most important nutrients for amino acid metabolism, and is important for the glucose/blood sugar management system in the body.
BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) are critical for anabolism (muscle-building) and help prevent catabolism if you’re dieting and in a caloric deficit.
L-Citrulline optimizes the blood flow to the tissues, which is exceptionally important during your workouts, and also helps to reduce the lactic acid buildup you get when exercising.
Vitamin D helps improve your post-workout recovery, strengthen your bones, and reduce high blood pressure.
