9 essential amino acids. 2g leucine per serve. 15-minute absorption. Zero dairy, zero bloating. Designed for people whose bodies said no to whey — but whose muscles still need support.
You've tried whey — probably multiple brands, multiple formats. Every time: bloating, discomfort, heaviness. You've tried plant protein, collagen, BCAAs. None of them fully solve the problem.
Meanwhile, the research is clear: after 40, your muscles need more amino acid support to maintain strength, recovery, and lean mass. The protein gap is real. You just haven't had the right tool to close it.
Until now.
Your muscles don't use "protein" directly. They use amino acids — the building blocks protein gets broken down into during digestion. Nine of these are essential, meaning your body can't make them. They must come from food or supplementation.
Free-form EAAs skip the digestion step entirely. They absorb through the upper small intestine in roughly 15 minutes — delivering a concentrated dose of the specific building blocks your muscles need, without the caloric overhead or digestive burden of whole protein.
Research by Paddon-Jones et al. (2004) found that EAAs produced comparable muscle protein synthesis to much larger servings of whole-food protein in adults 60-75. Faster delivery. Lower caloric cost. No bloating.
Bare Aminos is not a protein replacement. It supports the protein you're already eating from food — filling the gap that whey was supposed to fill, in a form your body can actually use.
Bare Aminos delivers precisely what your muscles need — nothing more, nothing less.
The complete EAA spectrum — not just BCAAs
Per serve — the muscle protein synthesis trigger
Direct absorption, no digestion required
No lactose, no dairy, no digestive distress
Not all protein support is created equal. Here's how EAAs stack up against the alternatives.
| Bare Aminos | Whey Protein | Plant Protein | Collagen | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential amino acids | ✅ All 9 EAAs | ✅ All 9, slow delivery | ⚠️ Incomplete profile | ❌ Missing key EAAs |
| Leucine per serve | ✅ 2g (targeted dose) | ⚠️ ~2.5g but slow release | ⚠️ ~1.5g from 25g serve | ❌ Negligible |
| Absorption time | ✅ ~15 minutes | ❌ 2–3 hours | ❌ 2–4 hours | ❌ 3–6 hours |
| Calories per serve | ✅ ~20 cal | ❌ 120–200 cal | ⚠️ 100–150 cal | ⚠️ 35–70 cal |
| Bloating / gut issues | ✅ None reported | ❌ Common (lactose) | ⚠️ Common (fibre/lectins) | ✅ Generally low |
| Dairy-free | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Varies by source |
| Supports muscle repair | ✅ Full MPS trigger | ✅ Yes, but slower | ⚠️ Partial (low leucine) | ❌ Not designed for MPS |
| Best used | ✅ Before/during/after exercise | ⚠️ Between meals | ⚠️ Between meals | ⚠️ Skin, joints, gut |
No digestion required. Free-form amino acids absorb directly — no lactose, no dairy proteins, no digestive overhead. Your gut doesn't have to break anything down.
Targeted leucine dose. 2g of leucine per serve — designed to cross the elevated leucine threshold that adults over 40 require for muscle protein synthesis (Katsanos et al., 2006).
Complete EAA spectrum. All 9 essential amino acids, not just the 3 BCAAs. Your muscles need the full set to complete repair — BCAAs alone trigger the signal but can't finish the job.
Complements food, doesn't replace it. Bare Aminos supports the protein you're already getting from meals. One scoop in 400ml water, before, during, or after exercise. That's it.
Verified buyers who closed the protein gap — without the bloat.
I tried every whey brand going — isolate, concentrate, plant alternatives. All of them bloated me. Bare Aminos goes down like flavoured water. No bloating, no heaviness. My recovery feels better and I actually enjoy taking it. That's a first.
I've struggled with gut issues that resulted in a frequent upset stomach. Since making the switch, I have not had any of these symptoms. Easier for me to take every day, as I got tired of daily whey shakes.
I love this product! The packaging allows me to have a few in my handbag, my car, my gym bag and right next to my desk for ease. Great taste, not too sweet — perfect for every day.
Your muscles need amino acid support. Your gut needs you to stop forcing whey. Bare Aminos gives both what they need — 9 essential amino acids, absorbed in minutes, with zero dairy and zero discomfort.
