Cellucor Alpha Amino Watermelon is an amino acid supplement designed for muscle recovery and growth, complemented by a modest hydration blend for workout support.
Dose: Alpha Amino Hydration Blend 1750mg, Dose: Essential Performance Amino Acid Complex 3750mg, Dose: Instantized BCAA 2:1:1 Blend 5000mg, Dose: Potassium 70mg, Dose: Sodium 30mg, Dose: Magnesium 13mg, Dose: Phosphorus 65mg, Flavour: Fruit Punch, Quantity: 381Flavour: Icy Blue Razz
Functionally identical to the Icy Blue Razz and very similar to Fruit Punch, Cellucor Alpha Amino Watermelon also features 5g of 2:1:1 BCAAs and 3.75g of the Essential Performance Amino Acid Complex, making it highly beneficial for muscle repair and protein synthesis. It includes the Alpha Amino Hydration Blend and a similar electrolyte profile (Potassium 110mg, Sodium, Magnesium, Phosphorus). Consumer reviews consistently praise its flavor and effectiveness for post-workout recovery. Nutritionists would generally view this product as a useful, convenient source of amino acids for active individuals, especially around training times, but would note the minor contribution of its electrolyte content for overall hydration needs.
- Provides an effective 5g dose of BCAAs (2:1:1 ratio) for muscle protein synthesis and breakdown prevention.
- Includes additional essential amino acids (EAAs) for comprehensive muscle recovery support.
- Contributes to hydration during exercise with a small but useful amount of electrolytes.
- Widely praised for its taste and solubility in online reviews, which can improve consistent use.
- The use of proprietary blends for the EAA and hydration complex limits consumer knowledge of specific ingredient dosages and their exact benefits.
- The quantity of electrolytes provided is quite low, offering minimal support for significant hydration or mineral imbalances compared to dedicated electrolyte supplements.
- Its impact on broader health goals such as Bone Health and Heart Health is negligible due to insufficient amounts of key nutrients specifically targeted for these areas.
- As with other proprietary blends, precise assessment of ingredient efficacy beyond BCAAs is challenging, potentially masking suboptimal dosages of other components.
- The product may not be sufficient for individuals with high electrolyte loss during intense workouts, requiring additional supplementation or rehydration methods.

Goals
Muscle Gain 85.0
The product offers a robust 5g of BCAAs and an additional 3.75g of other essential amino acids per serving, providing crucial components for stimulating muscle protein synthesis and supporting tissue repair after exercise. This makes it highly effective for promoting muscle gain.
Fitness 80.0
By supplying key amino acids, this supplement aids in reducing exercise-induced muscle fatigue and accelerating recovery, directly enhancing overall fitness performance. The inclusion of electrolytes further supports stamina and prevents cramps, which are vital for sustained physical activity.
Energy 65.0
The energy benefits from this product are derived from its ability to reduce muscle breakdown and improve recovery efficiency, allowing for more consistent performance. While not a stimulant, the electrolytes also contribute to cellular function, which indirectly supports energy levels during exertion.
