Supplement Spotlight - Essential AmiN.O. Energy

I like to get the most out of each of my workouts.  I workout first thing in the morning so that means I'm working out on an empty tank.  When I started Asylum, I found that I was dragging a little in the back half and I wasn't able to give as much as I wanted to.  When I did Insanity, I started sipping Results & Recovery in the back half.  For Asylum, I wanted to try something different.  I wanted to add an intra-workout supplement.

I wanted a product that could give me a boost of energy.  I wanted a product that could help me focus.  I wanted a product from a reputable company.  I wanted a product with good reviews across multiple sites.  I researched, looked at my options, and settled on Essential AmiN.O. Energy by Optimum Nutrition.  I picked mine up at GNC, but it's available from multiple places online.  I got the Blue Raspberry flavor and I really like it.

My Amino Energy Review

I've been using AmiN.O. Energy for a few weeks now as I go through Asylum and I am feeling the benefits.  I mix 2 scoops with 12 oz. water and ice.  While working out I sip the Amino Energy and also have water.  It keeps me going great, feeling strong, feeling focused, and feeling energized.  And, even with the caffeine, I don't get jitters or a crash afterwards.  So, it's doing what I was hoping for and that's all I wanted.  If you're looking for an intra-workout to keep you going throughout, Optimum Nutrition's Essential AmiN.O. Energy might be the product you are looking for.
