THE BARE STANDARD

3x more effective than whey protein.

5g of free-form, leucine-enriched EAAs trigger muscle protein synthesis as effectively as a full whey shake — without the calories, bloat, or 90-minute digestion window.

*Backed by ISSN positional stand on amino acid bioavailability.

WHY BARE

Science you can feel.

Bare Aminos delivers pure essential amino acids in an optimal ratio, designed for maximum absorption — up to 99% utilised by the body to support muscle growth, protein synthesis, and collagen production. It fuels recovery and performance without added calories or breaking a fast.

9 EAAs · 5,085 MG PER SCOOP

Every gram, accounted for.

No proprietary blends. No fillers. No fairy dust. Just the building blocks of every protein in your body — in clinically validated ratios.

L-Leucine The trigger 2,000 mg +

Leucine is the master switch for muscle protein synthesis. At 2g per serve, Bare hits the leucine threshold needed to trigger maximum mTOR activation in a single dose.

L-Lysine The structural one 850 mg +

Essential for tissue growth, collagen synthesis, and immune function. Often the limiting amino acid in plant-based diets.

L-Isoleucine The fuel partner 680 mg +

Branched-chain amino acid that fuels working muscles and supports recovery between sets.

L-Valine The endurance BCAA 600 mg +

Reduces central nervous system fatigue during long sessions. Critical for endurance athletes.

L-Threonine The connective builder 400 mg +

Required for collagen and elastin synthesis. Supports tendon, ligament, and joint integrity.

L-Phenylalanine The focus precursor 300 mg +

Precursor to dopamine and noradrenaline — supports focus, mood, and motivation.

L-Methionine The detoxifier 150 mg +

Drives methylation and antioxidant pathways. Essential for liver health and recovery.

L-Histidine Signaller + protector 100 mg +

Buffers lactic acid build-up and supports endurance. Precursor to carnosine in muscle tissue.

L-Tryptophan Recovery + sleep 5 mg +

Precursor to serotonin and melatonin — supports sleep quality, the foundation of recovery.

HOW TO USE

Mix 1 scoop in 400ml+ of cold water.

Up to 3 scoops at any one time. Adjust water volume to taste. Five proven moments to take it:

PRE

Before training

10 minutes before — primes muscles with free-form aminos before the first rep.

INTRA

During training

Sip throughout sessions over 60 minutes for sustained MPS and reduced fatigue.

POST

After training

Within 30 minutes — kicks recovery into gear before whey would even start digesting.

AM

First thing

Stops overnight muscle breakdown and breaks the catabolic state, fasted-friendly.

BETWEEN

Between meals

Boosts overall protein quality and supports lean mass without adding calories.

QUESTIONS? WE'RE HERE.

Frequently asked.

How does Bare Aminos differ from whey protein? +

Whey requires 60–90 minutes of digestion before amino acids reach your bloodstream. Bare Aminos are free-form — they bypass digestion and absorb in 15 minutes. You also get 5g of pure EAAs vs ~25g of mixed protein per serve, with under 20 calories.

What is the source of EAAs in Bare Aminos? +

Our EAAs are produced via plant-based fermentation in pharma-grade facilities, then independently tested for purity and banned substances before bottling.

Is Bare Aminos safe for children? +

Bare Aminos is formulated for adults. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before giving any supplement to under-18s.

What's the maximum amount I can take? +

Up to 3 scoops in a single serving. Most athletes use 1–2 scoops per session, with daily totals of 2–6 scoops depending on training load.

Is Bare Aminos hard on the kidneys? +

No. Free-form EAAs require less metabolic processing than whole-protein sources. As with any supplement, those with pre-existing kidney conditions should consult their doctor.

Can I take Bare Aminos when not exercising? +

Absolutely. EAAs support muscle maintenance, recovery, and lean mass retention regardless of training day. Many users take it daily, fasted-trained or not.

What's the difference between Bare Aminos and Hydrating Aminos? +

Bare Aminos is the pure EAA formula for muscle protein synthesis. Hydrating Aminos adds electrolytes and is built for sweat replacement during long or hot sessions. Many athletes use both — Bare for recovery, Hydrating for endurance.
