Kion Aminos Essential Amino Acids Powder, EAA & BCAA, Lean Muscle, Energy | All 9 aminos, caffeine-free, sugar-free, to curb cravings and support muscle with age, dieting, or GLP-1 use

Ever since I hit 45, I’ve been on a mission—lifting heavy, eating a high-protein diet, and diving deep into regenerative health and longevity. That’s when I discovered essential amino acids (EAAs) through podcasts, and let me tell you, Kion’s CEO explained it so simply that even my sleep-deprived brain got it: As we age, our bodies aren’t as great at breaking down protein into amino acids, which are crucial for muscle, recovery, and overall health. I started taking Body Bio Amino Acids morning and night, but I needed more during the day—and the thought of swallowing five more horse pills? Hard pass. Enter Kion Aminos powder, aka the easiest (and tastiest) way to get my EAAs. Let’s talk flavor—the mango is straight-up delicious. The label says mix it with 12 oz of water, but for me, 25-26 oz is the sweet spot (pun intended). I’ve been drinking this every single day for over a month, and the results? Incredible. My little aches and pains? Gone. My post-lifting recovery? Way better. And it’s not just me—I got my 77-year-old mom on it, and she’s feeling amazing too! She mixes hers with 20 oz of water, and just like that, her joint pain disappeared. Only one tiny complaint: I need more flavors! Mango is great, but I’m ready to shake things up—berry is next. Now, if Kion could make a chocolate version so I can mix it into my protein shakes? Take my money. (Kion, are you listening?) Bottom line? This stuff works, tastes great, and makes me feel amazing. If you’re into longevity, recovery, and just feeling your best, grab a tub and thank me later!

Right off the bat the mixed berry taste horrible I would advise you probably should get one that is unflavored. If that is a choice it seems to give me energy and I hadn’t used it for the gym just yet but as I stated it taste bad.

In search of a decent pre-workout I came across these aminos. I have tried many, many pre-workouts, protein shakes (vegan ones too for variety), you name it I've probably tried it. This KION aminos is BY FAR the most DISGUSTING thing I have ever, EVER tasted. I mean it is VILE!! Buyer be ware! It tastes NOTHING like lime. First of all, it does not easily mix into anything, so you have to either shake it or blend it. I first shook it with just water, and muscled it down. The second time, I blended it with 1 frozen strawberry and some fresh lime juice, STILL gross. When you blend/shake it, these bubbles form which taste absolutely acrid. Just nasty! I don't like leaving negative reviews. This product is just so terrible and pricey people NEED to know. If anyone has had success drinking this without your body making a gag reflex please feel free to share with me! At first, I thought I could not stomach it because of the stevia...no.. it's beyond that. I'd be curious if a completely unflavored one would be better because it could be that whatever they add to make it taste "cool lime" is what makes it so disgusting. Again, cannot stress enough, it is NOT tasty. I am not a picky person, and I consider myself a very well rounded consumer of health products usually aiming for the least processed most natural foods.

I’ve tried several essential amino acid products, and Kion Essential Aminos is one of my favorites. The taste is pleasant, making it easy to take consistently. It mixes well, no clumping, and avoids the overly sweet, artificial flavor common in many amino products. It’s a good value in comparison to competitors. I’m impressed with the quality and appreciate its complete essential amino acid profile. Whether after a workout or between meals, it’s become a regular part of my routine. If you’re looking for a high-quality EAA supplement that tastes good, Kion Essential Aminos is worth considering.

I am a 45 year old female. I am a weight lifting and yoga enthusiast, and a mom of 2. I have been heavily marketed this product, so I decided to give it a whirl. So far, I can definitely say it helps me with my energy and recovery. It mixes really well and does not bloat or make me feel gross. Unfortunately, I cannot take creatine for this reason. I am hoping overtime it can help me build more strength, but so far, I am super content with the increased energy and recovery. The only thing is the taste and aftertaste are not great in my humble opinion. I purchased watermelon, but next time I plan to try mango. It is worth a try for health and fitness enthusiasts.

Day 1 Review – I’ll update after 4 weeks I wanted to leave an honest first impression and then come back after using this consistently. The watermelon flavor is honestly awful. I was expecting something refreshing, but it was far from it. I’m hoping I either get used to it or find a better way to mix it. That said, I didn’t buy it for the taste—I bought it for the potential benefits. I’m committing to taking it consistently for the next four weeks to see if I notice any improvements in recovery, energy, muscle maintenance, or overall performance. I’ll come back and update this review with whether the results are worth suffering through the flavor. If it delivers noticeable benefits, I may just have to hold my nose and keep drinking it!

That just were not going like how they used to. I sat down one day and figured out why. I had stopped taking EAA's because I thought they weren't working. FF to working out and, being older, just struggling to feel good. I then researched different EAA's and decided on Kion since they actually tell you what's in it vs others with "proprietary blend" which doesn't break down. I'm on my 2nd container (so 2nd month) and I definitely feel a difference. My runs are going better, I'm recovering better and I just feel better. Flavors: I've tried Watermelon and Mango. Both are decent tasting (let's face, this type of stuff just doesn't taste the best in general) but I'm finding the Mango to be my favorite. I can actually drink the mango by itself mixed with water and ice and find it very refreshing. I will often toss a scoop of the Kion into whatever I have left of my hydration in the bottle after a workout so many times it's mixed with Nuun and I'll finish my Nuun with the EAA's added. The watermelon was really good when I added it to freshly made watermelon juice, squeezed lime and soda water (or lime seltzer). I imagine adding the mango to any small amount of fruit juice with lime or and soda water will be refreshing as well. Anyway... Quality product, taste compared to others is good, brand with good reputation, easily mixes with whatever (I just usually shake to mix in any lidded container and it mixes perfectly). I have item on subscribe & save, though I wish it was a little more affordable. However, having tried cheaper EAA's, it's cheaper for a reason and definitely didn't work as well for me.

This is the best product I’ve found so far. The ingredient profile is extremely clean, with sufficient leucine content and none of the unnecessary fillers or artificial sweeteners you see in most alternatives. The amino ratios are also very well balanced compared to other brands, which was a big factor for me. It is slightly more expensive, but in my opinion the quality justifies the price. From both a taste and formulation standpoint, it stands out above anything else I’ve tried. The lime flavor is subtle and not overpowering, especially considering it uses plant-based sweeteners. Very easy to drink consistently.

Fantastic product, not sweet like other electrolyte, amino drinks. i put one scoop in 400-500ml and its not sweet at all. Love the feel and definitely supports recovery
