After my favourite BCAA Synergy, Prom-IN came up with another supplement of this type, namely Intra Amino.
Right from the start , however, it is important to note that these amino acids are not primarily used before trainingThey hydrate the body and provide it with the necessary amino acids. But what about them? Is it worth buying them? How do they taste? Do they really deliver what the manufacturer promises? All this and much more you will find out in the following review.
Content of the review
Although my review of this supplement is very positive, I recommend thinking carefully before buying if you need BCAAs in your workouts at all. If you are taking the classic BCAAs before training, it is no longer necessary to take additional BCAAs when training.
This supplement is more of an alternative for athletes who do street workout, running or any aerobic sport and want to provide the body with the necessary hydration and amino acid supply.
The ideal formula for use in sports
In my opinion, the most important criterion when choosing any supplement is the composition, which is why I check it first of all. This is where Intra Amino first caught my attention.
This hydration drink is composed of 5 key amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, beta-alanine and citrulline.t) that are enriched with vitamins and electrolytes to support hydration during exercise.All available ingredients are high quality and quickly absorbed, making Intra Amino the ideal supplement for all strength endurance sports.
The most important benefits in points:
- They supply the body with the 5 most important amino acids
- Ensure optimal hydration thanks to electrolytes
- Tastes great and is highly soluble
- More than 8g of amino acids per serving
- Supports performance in sports
Refreshing taste
Similar to BCAA Synergy, Intra Amino flavours are very refreshing and balanced. I loved the pear flavour the most which, although a little unconventional, tastes absolutely amazing.
It should be noted, however, that the pink grapefruit doesn't lag behind either. On the other hand, the apple flavour, from which I had the highest expectations, disappointed me relatively, it seemed too artificial to me.
Great solubility and unrivalled absorbability
As we discussed in our article BCAAs under the microscope, branched-chain amino acids do not go throughthrough the liver, so their absorption is almost instantaneous. Beta alanine and citrulline are also absorbed very quickly. Intra Amino is therefore an ideal supplement for sports.
Their solubility is also trouble-free. They do not foam during preparation, do not form lumps and dissolve in seconds in a classic shaker.
Optimal price/quality ratio
For a 550g pack you pay (excluding special offers) , which is the same price you pay for classic BCAA Synergy. While this price is very nice, I would strongly consider whether you need this supplement. If you go to the gym, the BCAA's before your workout will suffice.
In conclusion, I would recommend Intra Amino to all aerobic athletes whowho do not place too much emphasis on pre- and post-workout supplementation. For others they are definitely not a necessity, but they are definitely worth a try.
