People generally pay attention to the number of tablets (capsules) in a jar when buying amino acids, or to the weight of the powder (if the amino acids are in powder form). But did you know that the percentage of amino acids in these jars is not always close to 100%? It would be acceptable if it were 90% or 80%. But sometimes, capsules contain only 40% - 50% amino acids.

Thus, when compiling this selection, I focused on how many total amino acids are present in the packaging. I also considered what it would cost you for every 100 grams of pure amino acids. Of course, these are approximate figures, as prices can vary significantly between different stores. However, these numbers still clearly illustrate the differences in price among various products.

In addition, this TOP list does not include dubious companies that I personally do not trust.

1
Whey Amino Tabs 2000
Manufacturer: Maxler
Contains 500 tablets (but there are other packaging options).
Total amino acids: 750 grams.

2
Mega Amino 3200
Manufacturer: BioTech
Contains 300 tablets (but there are other packaging options).
Total amino acids: 516 grams.

3
Amino Liquid
Manufacturer: VPLab
Contains 1 liter.
Total amino acids: 440 grams.

4
Amino Magic
Manufacturer: Maxler
Contains 1000 ml
Total amino acids: 400 grams.

5
Amino 5600
Manufacturer: Scitec Nutrition
Contains 500 tablets (but there are other packaging options).
Total amino acids: 525 grams.


6
Amino Tech
Manufacturer: Universal Nutrition
Contains 375 tablets (but there are other packaging options).

7
Amino Power Liquid
Manufacturer: Weider
Contains 1000 ml
Total amino acids: 512 grams.

8
Amino Energy
Manufacturer: Optimum Nutrition
Contains 585 g
Total amino acids: 275 grams.

9
Super Amino 6000
Manufacturer: Dymatize
Contains 500 tablets.
Total amino acids: 500 grams.

10
Amino 2000
Manufacturer: Ultimate Nutrition
Contains 150 tablets (but there are other packaging options).
Total amino acids: 660 grams.

As you can see, 1 kg of pure amino acids will cost you at least 1800 rubles. The average price for relatively inexpensive amino acids ranges from 2000 to 2200 rubles per kg. This means that amino acids, which are essentially the same as protein, are about 1.5 times more expensive than protein itself. In other words, you are paying this extra money for convenience of use and for the absence of fats and carbohydrates, which is very beneficial during cutting and weight loss. However, this is pointless during mass gain.

I hope this selection will be useful to you, and now you won't be fooled by the size of the jar and the number of tablets it contains.
