About NOW Foods – Amino-9 Essentials™ powder
NOW Foods Amino-9 Essentials™ is a complete essential amino acid (EAA) powder delivering all nine amino acids that the human body cannot synthesise on its own and must obtain through diet or supplementation. Each serving provides a carefully balanced profile — led by L-Leucine, L-Lysine and L-Phenylalanine — making it a practical and versatile option for anyone looking to support their daily amino acid intake.
Supplied in free-form, the amino acids in this formula are rapidly available for absorption without the need for prior protein digestion. The powder format offers straightforward dosing: simply mix one serving into your beverage of choice once a day. With approximately 59 servings per 330 g container, it represents a cost-effective way to complement a balanced diet with a full spectrum of essential amino acids.
Formulated by NOW Foods — a family-owned company with over 50 years of experience in nutritional supplements — Amino-9 Essentials™ is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility to the brand’s rigorous quality standards. The product is gluten free and lactose free, with minimal additional ingredients.
