I am a 51 yr old male and started with my gym routine 2 months ago for the first time in a very long time … I recover much quicker and must say, feel more energised and ready for my next session much sooner than before.

Lighter, But Weaker On The Bar Than In January?
You've lost the weight. You're back in the gym three times a week with a trainer, and you're doing the hard part. But the bar feels heavier than it did in January, and your trainer keeps on about protein when you can barely finish a meal.
That gap matters. In the STEP 1 trial of semaglutide, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, about 39% of the weight lost was lean body mass, which includes muscle (Wilding et al., NEJM 2021).
Lifting tells muscle to build. Protein supplies the material. When the jab cuts your appetite, the material is what runs short.
Lift For The Signal. Top Up The Building Blocks.
Bare Aminos gives you all 9 essential amino acids and 2 g leucine in one scoop, about 20 calories, on the days a protein bar is all you can face.

Lifting Is Half Of It
Training sends the signal to rebuild. Repair needs amino acids, and leucine is the one that switches on muscle protein synthesis via mTOR (Norton & Layman, J Nutr 2006). On a GLP-1, smaller meals mean less of both. A scoop of Bare Aminos after the session tops up 2 g leucine and all 9 essential amino acids.

About R20 a serve
R599 for 30 serves. Zero sugar, no heavy whey shake. SAHPRA-compliant formula.
GLP-1 Alone vs GLP-1 + Bare Aminos
Same number on the scale. What's underneath can differ.
On a GLP-1, smaller meals mean less protein and less leucine, the amino acid that signals muscle to build.
Lifting and protein are the two things you control.
Two people can see the same number on the scale and be in different places. The scale counts kilograms. It doesn't show how much of the loss was fat and how much was lean mass.
You've got the lifting covered. Keeping protein up when you're not hungry is the other half.
A scoop of Bare Aminos after the session: all 9 essential amino acids, 2 g leucine, about 20 calories.
The Full 9-Amino Profile, Nothing To Chew

Why Not Just Buy A Tub Of Whey?
Whey is cheaper per tub. On a GLP-1, the question is whether you can actually get it down.

Questions From Men On A GLP-1
Straight answers before you order.
Can I take it with my medication? +
Bare Aminos contains essential amino acids, flavouring and natural sweeteners. If you're on any medication, including a GLP-1, check with your doctor before adding a supplement.
I already have a protein bar a day. Isn't that enough? +
Keep it if it works for you. A scoop of Bare Aminos adds all 9 essential amino acids and 2 g leucine on top, for about 20 calories and nothing to chew.
Why R599 when whey is cheaper? +
A tub is 30 serves, about R20 a serve. It's built for the days you can't face a heavy shake, and you're likely spending less on food now.
Before or after the gym? +
After your session works for most people. On rest days, have a scoop between meals.
Will it fill me up? +
No. It's about 20 calories with no fat and zero sugar.
How soon will I notice a difference? +
Many customers notice recovery changes within a couple of weeks. Strength and lean-mass changes are best judged over 8 to 12 weeks of training.
What if I'm unhappy with it? +
