Collection: Amino Acid Supplements for Muscle Recovery & Performance

What are amino acid supplements?

Amino acid supplements provide individual amino acids or amino-acid formulas in formats such as powder, capsule or liquid. This collection includes BCAA and EAA formulas, single-ingredient amino acids, and related workout supplements such as micronised Creatine Monohydrate.

Choose the right amino acid supplement

• Essential amino acid coverage: EAA Powder provides all nine essential amino acids in an unflavoured powder.
• Targeted BCAA coverage: BCAA 5000mg 2:1:1 Powder lists leucine, isoleucine and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio.
• Performance-oriented powders: L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1 and Beta-Alanine 200g are single-ingredient powder products labelled around endurance, performance or pre-workout use.
• Recovery and active-routine options: L-Glutamine 100g and L-Taurine 200g Powder are unflavoured powder options. L-Taurine is also available in 500mg vegetarian capsules.
• L-Carnitine formats: Choose between the 3,300mg liquid in Valencia orange flavour and 500mg L-Carnitine L-Tartrate vegetarian capsules.
• Glycine capsules: L-Glycine 500mg is listed in a 120-capsule vegetarian format.

What is the difference between BCAA and EAA?

BCAA provides three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. EAA provides all nine essential amino acids. BCAAs are therefore a subset of EAAs. Choose between them based on the amino-acid coverage you want and the products already included in your routine.
For a more detailed comparison, read our BCAA vs EAA guide.

Powder, capsule or liquid: which format should you choose?

• Powders: suitable if you prefer a mix-in format. Several powder listings in this collection are labelled unflavoured or unflavored.
• Vegetarian capsules: suitable if you prefer a capsule format. The collection includes L-Glycine, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate and L-Taurine capsule products.
• Liquid: the L-Carnitine product is listed as a liquid with a Valencia orange flavour.

Before buying, compare the active ingredient, serving amount, product size, flavour or variant, and directions on the individual product page. If you already use whey, BCAA, EAA or creatine, compare labels to avoid unnecessary duplication.
If you are comparing BCAA timing around training, see our guide on When to take BCAA.

Why is creatine included in this collection?

Micronised Creatine Monohydrate is included because it is relevant to strength and workout-performance shopping, but creatine is not an amino acid. For additional selection context, read our Creatine monohydrate guide.
