Product Review: Optimum Nutrition Amino 2222




I love ON's Superior Amino Tabs. Between meals these keep me growing.

The only criticism is the size of the tablet.

This product is a whole protein and not a free form amino acid formulation. 


SMALLER TABS WITH MICRONIZED AMINOS
ON's Superior Amino 2222 Tabs provide 2,222 milligrams of 18 different amino acids to add to the amount you take in through protein shakes, protein bars and whole foods. Used in conjunction with a well-planned diet that includes 'complete' proteins, these tablets can play a role in supporting muscle recovery from exercise. Because we used micronized aminos, they can get into your system that much quicker.

Beyond The Basics

  • Over 2 Grams of Total Aminos
  • Provides 18 Different Types of Amino Acids (see amino profile)
