EAA - ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
EAA: ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
Allmax Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are formulated to fuel muscle growth, recovery, and performance. Did you know that there are nine Essential Amino Acids (EAA) required by your body to build muscle? Your body cannot produce all of these Essential Amino Acids on its own, requiring you to look to other sources such as diet or supplements.
Allmax EAA delivers 9.25g of all nine EAAs, including 5,088mg of Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) in a 2:1:1 ratio, which are clinically proven to support muscle growth and recovery.*
The Total Molecular Weight of Allmax Essential Amino Acids includes both the active form of the EAA as well as the binding agent (HCl). We use HCl with some of our EAA to improve solubility. The dosages listed on our Essential Amino Acids supplement facts panel include the active form of the Essential Amino Acids, providing you with 9.25g of active EAA in every serving.
What are EAAs?
Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the nine amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. These amino acids must be obtained through diet or supplementation. EAAs play a vital role in muscle protein synthesis, tissue repair, nutrient absorption, and overall muscle health.
The nine EAAs include:
-
Leucine
-
Isoleucine
-
Valine
-
Lysine
-
Threonine
-
Methionine
-
Phenylalanine
-
Histidine
-
Tryptophan
BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) – leucine, isoleucine, and valine – are a subset of EAAs that are especially critical for muscle recovery and performance.
Benefits of Essential Amino Acid Supplementation
Supplementing with EAAs helps maintain, repair, and grow muscle, especially during intense training or when dietary protein is insufficient. Unlike whole protein sources, EAAs are rapidly absorbed and directly available to muscles.
Key benefits include:
-
Stimulating muscle protein synthesis to support lean muscle growth and prevent muscle breakdown
-
Accelerating recovery and reducing muscle soreness after workouts
-
Preserving muscle mass during fasting or calorie restriction
-
Supporting workout performance by delaying fatigue and improving endurance
-
Enhancing nutrient delivery and muscle function
EAAs provide a convenient and efficient way to support muscle health and training goals without the calories or volume of full protein meals.

What are Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)?
Essential Amino Acids are the nine amino acids your body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. They are vital for muscle growth, recovery, and overall health.
How much EAA does ALLMAX provide per serving?
Each serving of ALLMAX EAA delivers 9.25 grams of active Essential Amino Acids, including 5,088 mg of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) in the clinically supported 2:1:1 ratio.
Why is the 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs important?
The 2:1:1 ratio refers to the amounts of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine—three key BCAAs known to promote muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle breakdown, and support recovery.
How do EAAs support muscle growth and recovery?
EAAs, especially BCAAs, trigger muscle protein synthesis and help reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing for faster recovery and improved performance in your workouts.
Who should take ALLMAX EAA?
This supplement is ideal for athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone looking to support muscle maintenance, recovery, and growth—especially when dietary protein intake may be insufficient.
How should I take ALLMAX Essential Amino Acids?
Follow the recommended serving size on the label. EAAs can be consumed before, during, or after workouts, or anytime you need an amino acid boost.
Is it safe to take EAA every day?
Yes, EAA supplements are generally safe for daily use when taken as directed. They provide nutrients that are naturally present in protein-rich foods and are essential for maintaining muscle health, recovery, and metabolic function. As with any supplement, it's important to follow the recommended serving size and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying medical conditions.
When to take the EAA supplement?
The most effective times to take an EAA supplement are:
- Before training – to fuel muscles and reduce breakdown during exercise
- During workouts (intra-workout) – to support endurance and hydration
- Post-workout – to enhance recovery and muscle rebuilding
EAAs can also be taken between meals or during fasting periods to preserve lean muscle mass and support protein metabolism.
Who should not take EAA supplements?
While EAA supplements are safe for most healthy individuals, they may not be suitable for everyone. People with kidney or liver conditions, metabolic disorders, or those on protein-restricted diets should consult a healthcare provider before using EAA supplements. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before use. Always read the label and use only as directed.
