“Best Workout I Had This Year Being On A Calorie Deficit.”
That came in on WhatsApp. We didn't ask for it and haven't edited it. What he's drinking is Bare Aminos: the nine essential amino acids, free-form, about 20 calories a serve, no shake. It doesn't replace your protein. It makes sure the signal in it lands on training days.
- All 9 essential aminos, free-form, absorbed in minutes not hours
- About 20 calories, so it fits a deficit. No stimulant in it
- One sachet, cold water, after training. Not for you? We refund you

Why people write to us like this
Training In A Deficit Means Less In The Tank. This Is The Part That Still Has To Arrive.
Protein is 20 amino acids in a bundle, and digestion takes hours. Only nine of them carry the signal that tells muscle to rebuild after a session. In a deficit you're eating less of everything, so that signal often arrives late and small, right when the session needs it.
Bare Aminos is just the nine, free-form, with no bundle to unpack. It's in the blood in about 15 minutes and costs about 20 calories, which is why it fits a cut where a 160-calorie shake doesn't. There's no caffeine or stimulant in it. When customers describe the energy as natural, that's the part they're noticing.
It doesn't replace protein. Keep eating yours. This sits on top of it on training days and makes sure the signal in it lands.

Three Things It Isn't.
It isn't a fat burner. Bare Aminos is not an appetite suppressant or a metabolism product, and we don't sell it as one. Fat loss comes from the deficit you're already running. What aminos do inside that deficit is protect the muscle you're trying to keep.
It doesn't replace protein. Five grams of aminos is not a meal. Your daily protein still matters most. This covers the gaps in it on training days; it doesn't stand in for it.
You won't feel it in ten minutes. No stimulant, no rush. What people write to us about is the next day or two of training, and that's a slow, unremarkable read. Anyone promising a sensation is selling the sensation.

Bare Aminos average on Judge.me
This is really one of the best aminos on the market… I even left my preworkout because this stuff gives you definitely more energy and endurance through workouts. and one big plus I don't feel sick after a workout like I do with other products.

My energy levels are amazing as I train 7 days a week and don’t struggle at all with lack of energy.

Better than Whey for my needs
… Easier for me to take every day, as I got tired of daily whey shakes.

… I use both pre, during and post running and playing soccer. Definitely noticed an increase in energy but more importantly, less aches and pains and recover time is much quicker.

Judge.me review · Bare Aminos
After my thorough research into the benefits of EAAs over traditional BCAAs, I went on a hunt to find a good quality EAA mix in South Africa… When taken regularly, I can feel the difference in the gym, post workout recovery as well as my overall energy and focus.

… I use the Product an hour after training and that works best for me. I am new to this product and already can feel the benefits such as the recovery. I am ready to go the next morning.

Judge.me review · Bare Aminos
I just turned 50, and for as long as I remember, I have been plagued by crazy muscle cramps after my weightlifting sessions… I decided to give this product a go because it's the only one I have seen including the 9 essential amino-acids… And then... I realised that I had virtually NO MUSCLE CRAMP after a heavy shoulder session… Only negative point: it's quite expensive.

I use Bare ayr pre workout with creatine every morning. Paired with a clean diet I am falling asleep easily every night and resting incredibly well. I am able to push hard every workout.

How to use it
One Sachet. Cold Water. After Training.
That's the whole habit. No scale, no blender, nothing to plan around.
1 · Tear one sachet
Five grams of the nine essential aminos, pre-measured. Unflavoured, Mixed Berry, Peach Ice Tea or Mango Orange.
2 · Stir into cold water
It dissolves clear. Drink it straight after training, or with the meal you know came up short on protein.
3 · Keep eating protein
This is a top-up, not a replacement. Give it a few weeks of training days and judge it on how you recover.
Not for you?
Give It 60 Days. If It's Not For You, We Refund You.
Every Bare order is covered by a 60-day money-back guarantee. Take one sachet on training days for a few weeks. If it doesn't earn its place, email us and we'll refund the order. No forms, no arguing.

Straight answers
Honest Questions, Honest Answers
Does this replace protein? +
No. Keep eating your protein. Bare Aminos is 5g of the nine essential aminos, free-form, taken on top of your meals so the signal arrives faster around training. It is a top-up, not a meal.
Is it OK in a calorie deficit? +
That's where a lot of customers use it. A serve is about 20 calories and it delivers the nine aminos that signal muscle to rebuild, so you protect muscle while eating less. It is not a weight-loss product and won't create the deficit for you.
Isn't this just BCAAs? +
No. BCAAs are three of the nine. On their own they can't complete a rebuild because six essentials are missing. Bare Aminos has all nine, with the full milligram breakdown on the label.
When should I take it? +
Straight after training in cold water is the simplest habit. A second sensible spot is with a meal you know is light on protein.
Will I feel it working? +
There's no stimulant in it and nothing to notice in the first ten minutes. What people write to us about is the next day or two of training. Judge it over a few weeks of sessions, not one.
How much is it? +
R599 for a box of 30 sachets, about R20 a serve. Buy 2 and the 3rd box is free, about R13 a serve. Subscribe and save 20%. Free delivery on orders over R1,250.
What if it's not for me? +
60-day money-back guarantee. Email us and we'll refund the order.
