What is Hydrating Aminos?

Hydrating Aminos delivers pure essential amino acids in an optimal ratio, designed for maximum absorption—up to 99% utilized by the body to support muscle growth, protein synthesis, and collagen production. It fuels recovery and performance without added calories or disrupting a fast. on top of this, Hydrating Aminos includes an electrolyte blend featuring sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium in the correct ratios to support hydration and muscle function. 

Per Serving:

EAA Blend: 5000mg

Sodium: 400mg

Potassium: 250mg

Magnesium: 300mg

Calcium: 600mg

How Does Hydrating Aminos Work?

Bare Aminos works by providing your body with all nine essential amino acids in the precise ratio needed for optimal muscle protein synthesis. Unlike incomplete protein sources or BCAAs alone, Bare Aminos delivers the full spectrum of building blocks required to repair and rebuild muscle, support collagen production, and enhance recovery. These amino acids are rapidly absorbed and utilized—up to 99%—helping to prevent muscle breakdown, improve endurance, and fuel lean muscle growth.

A Closer Look at the Research

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) have emerged as a game-changer in sports nutrition, offering unparalleled benefits for muscle synthesis, recovery, and overall athletic performance. Groundbreaking research, including a pivotal study by the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), provides compelling evidence of EAAs' effectiveness.

How to use Hydrating Aminos

Mix 1-2 Scoops with 500-1000mls of water & consume before, during or after exercise. We provide a digital usage & sports specific guide with every purchase.

Hydration is Key.

Electrolytes are essential minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium that play a critical role in maintaining the body's fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve signaling. 

During exercise or physical activity, the body loses fluids and electrolytes through sweat, leading to dehydration and muscle fatigue if not replenished. Proper hydration with the right balance of electrolytes ensures optimal performance, reduces muscle cramps, and accelerates recovery. Supplementing with electrolytes helps maintain hydration levels, keeping the body functioning at its best during workouts or daily activities.

Dehydration Reduces Performance

Studies show that just a 2% loss in body fluids can lead to an 8-10% decrease in athletic performance, impacting endurance, strength, and coordination

Sweat Loss

During exercise, individuals can lose between 0.5-2 liters of sweat per hour, depending on intensity, environment, and fitness level. Replacing these fluids is critical for avoiding dehydration

Cognitive Function

Dehydration affects cognitive performance, leading to slower reaction times, reduced focus, and impaired decision-making

Electrolyte Balance

Sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for maintaining hydration and preventing muscle cramps, especially during extended physical activities

Frequently asked questions

How does Bare Aminos Differ From Whey Protein?

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the key drivers behind why we consume protein in the first place.
When you eat protein, your body breaks it down to extract these EAAs — the vital building blocks it needs to repair damaged tissue, regenerate proteins, and build muscle.

To assess the quality of any protein source, ask three important questions:

  1. How easily is it digested?
  2. How many EAAs does it provide in total?
  3. Are those EAAs present in the right proportions?

Bare Aminos scores exceptionally on all three.

Unlike whole food protein, which takes time to digest, Bare Aminos is rapidly absorbed and immediately available to your muscles.
While even high-quality protein sources like whey contain only around 45% EAAs, Bare Aminos delivers a full 100% EAA profile — precisely formulated based on over 20 years of clinical research to optimize muscle protein synthesis (MPS).

The result? Bare Aminos stimulates muscle building at least 3x more effectively than traditional protein sources.
It’s not meant to replace whole foods, but to fill the gap — especially when your body needs fast, efficient support for recovery and muscle repair.

What Is The Source of EAAs in Bare Aminos?

are Aminos is 100% vegan, made entirely from non-GMO plant sources.
Through a precise extraction process, each amino acid is isolated until only the pure essential amino acids remain — chemically identical to those found in any protein source, but free from any traces of the original plant material.

To ensure purity and safety, Bare Aminos undergoes full allergen testing and is confirmed to be free from common allergens, including corn, maltodextrin, and vegetable derivatives.

Is Bare Aminos Safe for Children?

ssential amino acids — whether from food or supplements — play a critical role in healthy growth and development.Bare Aminos can be a useful option for supplementing meals that are low in protein or diets that may lack sufficient EAAs. That said, we always recommend consulting your child’s healthcare provider before use.

What Is The Max Amount of Bare Aminos I can Take?

Essential amino acid supplements are classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA.


An extensive report by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences found no known risks or negative side effects associated with EAA consumption, and no upper limit of safe intake was identified.

That said, we recommend a maximum of 15g per serving, spaced at least 3 hours apart. This is because consuming higher doses or taking them more frequently does not provide any additional benefit for muscle protein synthesis.

Is Bare Aminos Hard On The Kidneys?

In fact, Aminos may actually reduce strain on the kidneys. Because they supply only essential amino acids (EAAs), the body can recycle its own non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) rather than breaking down whole food proteins. This reduces urea production in the liver — and in turn, lowers the workload on the kidneys to filter out excess urea and ammonia.

Can I take Bare Aminos When I'm Not Exercising?

es — you can take Bare Aminos anytime.They’re especially useful during periods when your body needs more essential amino acids than usual — like while fasting, between meals, or when your dietary protein intake is low. Whether you’re skipping breakfast, eating light, or just need support between workouts, Bare Aminos helps fill the gap with precisely what your body needs to recover, rebuild, and stay strong.

What is the Difference Between Bare Aminos Hydrating Aminos?

Bare Aminos is our pure Essential Amino Acid formula — designed to maximize muscle recovery, protein synthesis, and lean muscle support. It contains all 9 EAAs in clinically-researched ratios for optimal absorption, with zero added electrolytes.

Hydrating Aminos combines the same full-spectrum EAAs with key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium to support hydration, muscle function, and performance — especially during or after sweaty workouts, hot days, or endurance training.

In short:

  • Use Bare Aminos for maximum protein support and recovery.
  • Use Hydrating Aminos when you want EAA support plus hydration.

I use this for my Triathlon and Gravel Cycling endurance training and races. Always struggled with cramps due to extreme sweating but this now got me covered.
Love this product.

60 and still going strong

I can honestly feel a difference since i started using the product. I am no longer sore after gym sessions although i can feel my muscles feel "heavy" and trained. I also recover much faster after cycling long distances and feel more energized than before. Even after a hard ride at 4h00 am, a full day on my feet working (running my own Guesthouse and attending to the Gardens), I still have enough energy to fit in an hour session in my gym.

Markable improvement of well being

This is a review for the older generation that does not do crazy workouts. All I do is once a week EMS and otherwise walk the dog on the beach every day. Since taking the aminos I have felt a markable difference in my body and muscles. They certainly toned up, the skin feel a little less flabby. Holding pee to reach the toilet got easy again. I can highly recommend these aminos as well as the Creatine which makes my brain focus.
