NOW Sports Amino-9 Essentials EAA Powder for Muscle & Protein Support – 330 g

NOW Sports Amino-9 Essentials Powder is a free-form essential amino acid supplement formulated to support protein synthesis, muscle development, and post-workout recovery. Each serving provides all nine essential amino acids: leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, valine, threonine, isoleucine, methionine, histidine, and tryptophan. Because the human body cannot produce these nine amino acids, they must be obtained through food or supplementation. This EAA powder provides them in free-form rather than protein- or peptide-bound form, making it a convenient option for active adults, athletes, and people whose diets may provide limited essential amino acids. For more protein options, see NOW Sports Whey Protein Isolate, Unflavored, or NOW Sports Soy Protein Isolate, Unflavored.
