That came in on Instagram after a week and a half. We didn't ask for it and haven't edited it. What she's taking 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.
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. After 40 that signal plays quieter; researchers call it anabolic resistance. You feel it as soreness that hangs around and sessions that feel harder to recover from, even though nothing about your training changed.
Bare Aminos is just the nine, free-form, with no bundle to unpack. It's in the blood in about 15 minutes, costs about 20 calories, and mixes clear in cold water. Nothing heavy sitting in your stomach before or after a session.
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.
Mechanism: International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand on essential amino acid supplementation, 2023, doi:10.1080/15502783.2023.2263409. The research examined essential amino acids as a category, not Bare Aminos.
Just the nine. Nothing to unpack.
All nine your body can't make, free-form, full breakdown on the label
The switch amino, on top of whatever your meal already brought
No bundle to digest, so it's there for the session, not hours later
A top-up, not a shake. Nothing heavy in your stomach
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.
It isn't a weight-loss product. Bare Aminos is not an appetite suppressant, a fat burner or a metabolism product, and we don't sell it as one.
It won't build muscle on its own. Aminos supply the material and the signal. Training supplies the reason. Without the sessions, nothing in a sachet makes you stronger.
The Instagram message came in unprompted, a week and a half in. These are Judge.me reviews from people training on Bare Aminos. Text unedited.
Hi hope you are well. I have tried taking the bare aminos for the past week and a half and it has 100% help me with my training, more energy etc. however I have noticed that I don’t crave sugar or snacking as much, is it meant to suppress appetite? My gut is also much more calm. I just want to confirm or if it not in my head. But it’s been a game changer for my training and goals
I used to feel so depleted and exhausted after a tough workout, sometimes even needing a nap afterwords but after one use… there is a noticeable difference in stamina during my workouts and it’s meant I can push myself more without the intense muscle fatigue during and after workouts. Recovery is faster… no bloating or anything to worry about on the digestive system.
First time using this product and can feel the difference after two weeks and definitely when I drink it before my workouts, more energy during workouts and my muscle recovery is great post workout!!
As someone over 60 and a complete exercise junkie, recovery and maintaining muscle strength are so important to me — and this really helps.
Since adding it to my regime, I’ve noticed faster recovery, less stiffness after heavy training sessions, and a more energised feeling in each session — whether it’s weights, HIIT, Pilates Barre, yoga, or a run.
I used to get so sore and tired before I started using bare aminos because of CrossFit MetCons. After I started with aminos my muscles recover faster and I can go harder on the workouts without worrying about fatigue… I can’t live without these now.
The only product I’ve used where I can see and feel the difference in my daily training. More endurance and strength and better recovery.
I am extremely impressed by the product. I can see a definite improvement in my stamina and endurance on the bike. My recovery has improved which give me more efficient workouts. I train 6 days a week.
I have just started using the product, but have to say that I have been experiencing improved energy throughout my work day. I also run about 30km per wk and do weight training/resistant training 4 times per week… So far, so good...it's only been about 9 days
They help a lot with my CrossFit workouts and recovery. Been taking them for over a month now and just love them. I take them before I train as well as during my training.
I am 56 years old and doing Crossfit 5 days a week… I recover very fast after each workout and my muscles are not so sore as they were in the past. I also do not feel fatigued after my strenght training days.
I absolutely love the product, it tastes really nice and doesn’t have after taste, it’s not sweet and the energy I have during my gym sessions carries.
Training every day and close to 50, I needed something to aid my recovery… This product has helped in the 3 weeks I am using it.

That's the whole habit. No scale, no blender, nothing to plan around.
Five grams of the nine essential aminos, pre-measured. Unflavoured, Mixed Berry, Peach Ice Tea or Mango Orange.
It dissolves clear. Drink it straight after training, or with the meal you know came up short on protein.
This is a top-up, not a replacement. Give it a few weeks of training days and judge it on how you recover.
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.

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.
No. It helps your body hold on to and repair the muscle you train for. That shows up as recovery and strength, not size.
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.
Straight after training in cold water is the simplest habit. A second sensible spot is with a meal you know is light on protein.
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.
