Regular intake of a balanced essential amino acid supplement can aid in muscle recovery, boost energy levels, and enhance metabolic functions.

A: For optimal results, it's recommended to consume our Essential Amino Protein supplement daily. Consistency is key to achieving the best results in muscle building, recovery and general metabolism. Take any time of day for general health. For muscle growth and strength gains, take just before, during or up to 30 minutes after a workout.

A: Yes and no. Our Essential Amino Protein Builder is more efficiently used for anabolic function (making proteins) than dietary protein. Our product is utilized at 99% for making proteins. Eggs are utilized at around 60%. However, whole foods have much more going on than just amino acids. They have vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients. For that reason, we recommend getting most (all if possible) of your protein needs with clean whole foods. Use VF Aminos to make up any shortages in dietary protein. With the goal being one gram per pound of body weight, one serving of VF Aminos is metabolized/used similar to 30-50 grams of whey protein. Your overall protein intake would need to be higher if you are vegan or vegetarian.
