Amino 2222 Softgels Reviews
First I'd like to start of by saying that I love ON for there good tasting and effective protein powders. My personal stack is ON Pro Complex. and Gold Standard 100% Casein. but I am not here to talk about these two very great supplements. I gotta say this is my first review and I'd like to let anybody who is thinking about getting this product should just waste their hard earned money on something a bit better than these tablets.
Value: 10/10
So the only reason I'm giving this a ten is because it ran me about 18 bucks at GNC wich wasn't bad for my budget, and I guess you can say you get what you pay for. I'm not saying this is totally
a bad product it may be convenient for those who are looking for a few more EAAs. CAAs, and NAAs.
Effectiveness: 8/10
I'll give this and 8 for effectiveness, I gotta admit i did feel a little boost on my recovery. I took 2 Titanic pills before my workout, and 2 more with my post workout Protein Shake. The reason
I said Titanic pills was because these tablets are a bit oversized they were almost like horse pills, I had to chop these in half because I couldn't swallow them whole they are too big for me
man. s
Overall: 7/10
So overall I'll give this a 7 since it did help me a bit with my recovery. Then again who needs to take these when you get enough Aminos from a well made protein like Pro Complex.:)The only
reason i bought this product is to see if it help me recover a bit fast and it totally did, the only downside is again, HORSE PILLS. But if you think you can handle these than I'd recommend it
for a recovery boost.
I bought this product for some extra amino boost and I wasn't expected too much.I took 4 softgels per day.On training day 2 before and 2 after workout and on non-training day 4 in the morning.Softgels are very big but easy to swallow.
10/10 PRICE
-------------------------------------
Price was cheap, especially for a well-known brand name.In EU i bought it for aprox. 19 euros for 300 softgels.No complains.
10/10 EFFECTIVENESS
------------------------------
Effect of this aminos was very good on me.Aprox. 20 minutes after I took them I felt varm and releasing felling in my muscles.Recovery time was amaizing for me and I get even some very little
pump.No complains.
10/10 SIDE EFFECTS
-------------------------------
I didn't notice any side effects whatsoever such as stomachache, abnormal "waste" smells, or appetite affection.No complains.
10/10 OVERALL
------------------------------------
I think this are the best amino softgels you can ever buy.They work very good on me and I belive they will work the same on everyone. I highly recommend them.
I picked these up a while back at my local GNC after I already tried the liquid version of this product. Because of the unbelieveably sour taste that came from the liquid version I decided that pills would be my best option to avoid those awful after taste. I ran this product for a little over a month and this is my review:
Value. 8/10 - I bought my 150 count bottle for around $16.00 at GNC, but that was before I started looking towards online stores for my supplement shopping. Online you can get the same 150 count for a little over $10.00 and a 300 count for $21.00. Very reasonable price for this product.
Taste (Pills): 8/10 - The pills didnt have a taste but they definetely had a smell. I guess it might have been from the sodium but every time you opened the cap a strong sour scent would arise. Also, these pills are MASSIVE. I didn't go as far as crushing them but it did take a lot of water to get them down. Definetely one of the cons of this product.
Effectivences. 7/10 - It was hard to notice any huge gains with this product. It's definetely not something people would swear by, but it's for sure a great starter product for anyone looking for a cheap amino product. I can say that I did get a good nights sleep when I took these before bed and soreness was slightly relieved the morning following a workout.
Overall. 7/10 - The only thing really keeping this products overall ranking so high is it's cheap price and availabilty. If you take the caps based on the reccomend dosage on the label, you will find yourself running out of pills quicker than you should. I took mine just in the morning, pre-workout. and before bed. Not after every meal as it explains on the directions. If your looking to supplement your current amino profile then this product would be worth a shot.
Amino 2222 Caps is up for review. Keeping this concise for the readers.
I purchased these on closeout at GNC along with the platinum muscle building stack. It was expiring on 3/2012 so I got a great price.
We all know the value of amino acids to assist in the rebuilding and recovery. I personally do supplement aminos and BCAAs. however we get a sizeable amount already in our proteins. pwo. intras, etc.
Effectiveness: Gives you a "complete" amino profile of all the amino acids. Overall recovery is slightly assisted with use, as with any solid amino pill profile. Nothing great, but what is expected. You aren't going to set any PRs using these. I ran these typically 3-4 upon wakeup and then 3-4 right before bed. Hard to really just the complete effectiveness since most of us run multiple products have these aminos already include, however the 3-4 pre-bed did seem to help slightly.
Value: Given my deal on this, it is a bit skewed. Considering the price of the stack, I probably paid 4 dollars for this. However, given it's MSRP that value is about middle of the road. One thing I have been noticing is ON prices have been significantly rising over the past 12-18 months.
Taste/Consistency: I don't care how they taste, I don't rate on taste (unless it is intra). However I do rate on being able to ingest them. They are massive horse pills. I usually hit them with my meat tenderizer and then brushed them in my shaker. Banging a meat tenderizer against a cutting board at 5AM isn't well received by the lady in my life. They have recently revised the pill size to a smaller more manageable dosage.
Conclusion: Given that we get so much amino acid profiles in our pre, intra, especially post and then general shakes, it is hard to justify spending additional cash on this product. It isn't a bad product, in fact it I believe it is one of the better pill based complete amino products. However if you currently run multiple products that have BCAAs and complete amino profiles, I would seriously consider saving the money.
I finally finished my bottle of Amino 2222 the other day. 80 days worth of this stuff!
Product Description. Superior Amino 2222 Tabs provide a full spectrum 2,222 mg array of 18 essential, conditionally essential, and non-essential amino acids. These smaller, easier to swallow tablets provide 500 mg of BCAAs per serving with micronized amino acids for faster utilization. It's a superior blend of muscle-building Aminos.
Value. 9/10 - Believe it or not, right now on BB.com you can get 320 pills for 14 bucks, that is an unbelievable deal. I got it 3 months ago for 19 dollars, which is still amazing considering that it's an 80-day supply.
Taste/Pills. 8/10 - Pills don't have a taste, but they are pretty big white pills. I didn't have a problem with them being large, but I guess the company could change it up and make 3 small pills a serving instead of 2 large pills.
Effectivences. 8/10 - It's really hard to tell if a product like this is effective. It's the equivalent of rating a multi-vitamin, because in reality, you can go without either and you won't notice anything significant. My reasoning of taking this product was simply because I was going on cycle and I wanted to ensure that I was receiving all the amino acids that my body would Need To Build Muscle. It has an excellent line up of Amino Acids and I took two pills when I woke up, and two pills before my workout. I would like to say that my recovery in general has been better, but not by anything that's totally noticable. Also I didn't get sick once during the time I was on it while people next to me where catching colds, but that could be coincidence or that I just have a strong immune system in general.
Overall. 8/10 - I think for considering the price, this is a great supplement to add to any stack, and should be taken with multi-vitamins to ensure that your body has the amino acids and minerals necessary to build muscle. I trust ON as a company and enjoy their line-up of products in general. I've already bought another bottle to have and plan on just taking it everyday for the remainder of the year.
