Amino IV provides the complete Essential Amino Acid (EAA) profile, including a clinical 2:1:1 BCAA ratio, plus electrolytes and taurine for hydration and performance. Built to support muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and fluid balance.
Why EAAs (Not Just BCAAs)
Of the 20 amino acids in your body's proteins, 9 are essential (EAAs), and you must get them from your diet. CAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) are part of those EAAs and help trigger muscle protein synthesis (MPS), with leucine as the key signal. But BCAAs alone are limited if the other EAAs aren’t available.
Research suggests BCAAs on their own cannot create a fully anabolic state; the body must pull the remaining EAAs from muscle tissue, limiting MPS. When all EAAs are provided together, the potential increase in MPS is substantially higher than with BCAAs alone.
Amino IV: What’s Under the Lid
Amounts shown where specified. Always check your product label for the latest Supplement Facts.| Component | Details / Dose | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| BCAAs | 5 g total in a 2:1:1 ratio (Leucine 2.5 g; Isoleucine 1.25 g; Valine 1.25 g) | Leucine “switches on” MPS; the full 2:1:1 blend supports training and recovery. |
| Ancillary EAAs | Threonine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Methionine, Histidine, Tryptophan | Provide the remaining essential building blocks so MPS can proceed efficiently. |
| Electrolytes | Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium (highly bioavailable forms) | Support hydration, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction; losses increase with sweat. |
| Taurine | Included | Osmolyte & antioxidant; supports hydration, performance (aerobic/anaerobic), and heat tolerance. |
Who Can Benefit from Amino IV?
- Active individuals seeking to build muscle, enhance recovery, and support hydration.
- Anyone who feels sore for days after training—EAAs can help reduce muscle damage markers and soreness.
- Athletes training in heat/humidity or with high sweat rates who need electrolyte support.
How to Take Amino IV
- Mix 2 scoops with 12–20 oz of cold water (adjust to taste).
- Use during workouts or athletic events for hydration & amino support; additional servings can be taken throughout the day, including rest days.
- Each container provides 30 two-scoop servings.

FAQ
Is Amino IV just BCAAs? No—Amino IV includes the full EAA profile plus BCAAs. EAAs are required to sustain MPS beyond the initial leucine signal.
Can Amino IV replace protein powder or whole-food protein? No—it complements them. Whole proteins (e.g., whey) provide all 20 amino acids. Amino IV is excellent around workouts and can help when a meal is low in protein.
What if my meal is low in protein? Evidence suggests that adding BCAAs/EAAs to a small amount of protein can elevate MPS closer to a higher-protein meal. Amino IV can help bridge that gap.
Does it help with soreness? EAAs have been shown to reduce muscle damage markers and soreness, supporting faster return to training.
Why electrolytes and taurine? They support hydration, muscle contraction, performance, and thermoregulation—key during hard training and hot conditions.
The Bottom Line
Amino IV is a complete, training-ready amino solution: all EAAs (including a 2:1:1 BCAA core) plus electrolytes and taurine. It’s designed to boost MPS potential, reduce post-workout soreness, and keep you hydrated—so you can train hard, recover well, and come back sooner.
