Product analysis

39 out of 100

Amino-NR combines a broad amino acid mix with B6 and B12 in one supplement. Several amino acids are expensive for the amounts provided, which weakens its buying case.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality22

The B6 and B12 forms are identified, but most other forms are unspecified. That limits a detailed comparison of ingredient quality without showing that the ingredients are ineffective.

Ingredient Transparency66

All declared amounts are stated, making serving quantities easy to check. Most ingredient forms are missing, so the exact types supplied are harder to compare.

Value For Money30

Several amino acids offer weak value for the amounts provided, despite a favorable comparison for isoleucine. Value for the remaining ingredients is uncertain, so the broad mix does not by itself justify the cost.

Customer Satisfaction69

The available customer ratings are positive. Only a small number of ratings are available, so the satisfaction picture is still limited.

Product Focus16

The formula combines many amino acids with a small B-vitamin component. Specific health-goal benefits cannot be judged from the available information.

83 Performance

Amino Complex Berry Flavored

Thorne
Substantially larger BCAA and lysine amounts provide more meaningful essential-amino-acid support. The powder is less broad than the original because it omits several nonessential amino acids and the activated vitamins.
72 Performance

MacroMeal Ultimate Chocolate Protein Powder

MacroLife Naturals
A complete protein base supplies a broad amino-acid spectrum at food-like amounts instead of many token capsule doses. Extra plant and nutrient ingredients make the formula less focused, and several supplied quantities are not usable for comparison.
71 Performance

Caprotein

Mt. Capra
A substantial complete-protein serving provides greater total amino-acid nutrition than the original’s small individual amounts. The dairy-based powder has a different format and the supplied details do not isolate each relevant amino-acid dose.
57 Budget

Daily Amino Acid

21st Century
The much lower serving cost provides a broad disclosed amino-acid mix in capsule form. Most amounts are small and it omits the activated B12, alpha-lipoic acid, and glycine emphasis of the original.
65 Budget

Essential Aminos

Pure Encapsulations
A lower serving cost preserves a clearly disclosed essential-amino-acid profile without the original’s extra vitamins and antioxidant. Its core doses remain low, so the savings do not translate into stronger amino-acid delivery.
84 Budget

Amino-9 Essentials Powder

NOW Sports
The lower serving cost delivers much larger amounts of every listed essential amino acid, including leucine, lysine, methionine, and phenylalanine. It drops the original product’s activated B vitamins, alpha-lipoic acid, glycine, glutamine, and proline.
67 Value

Max-Amino Caps with Vitamin B6

Country Life
A comparable serving cost supplies a wider disclosed amino-acid mix with larger amounts of leucine, valine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine. It uses conventional vitamin B6 and lacks the original’s activated B12 and alpha-lipoic acid.
68 Value

MacroMeal Ultimate Vanilla Protein Powder

MacroLife Naturals
A substantial complete-protein serving offers far more total amino-acid material and added micronutrients. Its higher serving cost and broader meal-replacement format mean the value advantage applies mainly to users who also want protein and calories.
64 Value

Max-Amino Caps with Vitamin B6

Country Life
The broad amino-acid profile offers more of several core amino acids than the original, with vitamin B6 included. Its serving cost is not lower and the second Country Life listing appears closely related, so the supplied data support only a modest value case.
