Physical energy		It took 6 scoops for me to get the least amount of energy for it,
Physical energy		I knew it would have to be something to give my system energy (I have more than enough already).
Physical energy		It would be unfair for me to give that a testimony on the energy part of this supp, so I wont.
Recovery ability		It was great in aiding to get the essential aminos in pre, post, and even between meals to heal better.
Taste		Strong taste, not bad, just strong (for my water level liking).


Physical energy		There are a few people which this product would be better geared towards, and for just a standalone amino acid or energy drink it would be fantastic.
Value for money		When the amount of scoops you need to use gets that high, than a tub of this stuff is good for 10-15 servings, which severely decreases the value IMO.


Taste		As others have stated, mixes well and tastes really good!
Mixes well		As others have stated, mixes well and tastes really good!
Value for money		For my money, I'd rather spend it on straight up BCAA's or a similar product considered to be a staple in supps...but if $ weren't an object, then sure toss it in the mix.


Physical energy		All this plus a simple energy and antioxidant blend.


Physical energy		Energy - Fruit Fusion First off, I want to give a big thank you to everyone at Optimum Nutrition for giving me an opportunity to test out this product.

Taste		Taste: 10/10 And we have a winner.
Taste		The taste is absolutely delicious.
Taste		From the first sip to the last drop, this is by far, hands down, the most delicious amino acid product I have ever had.
Taste		The taste of this product is far beyond all of the competition when it comes to flavoring.
Taste		While I did expect the product to have a good taste,
Taste		I usually shy away from "fruity" flavored products because they generally don't impress me.
Taste		Usually there is an overly sweet, or chemically taste to it, which this product offers neither.
Taste		I could not possibly explain how delighted I am that I've found an amino product with flavoring this far above and beyond all it's competitors.
Taste		But when it comes to flavoring, Essential AmiN.O.
Taste		The value is definitely made worth it by the taste,
Taste		Excellent taste, with a good profile and zero sugar.
Mixes well		Mixability: 10/10 To test this out, I followed this instructions directly by adding 2 scoops of Essential AmiN.O.
Mixes well		Energy to 12oz cold water, and pulled out a spoon to find out how easily it mixed.
Value for money		Price: 7/10 The price per serving is very competitive with SciVation Xtend, which is definitely a good thing.
Value for money		The value is definitely made worth it by the taste,
Value for money		Overall: 9.1/10 = A Overall, this is a great product with a great value, which is exactly what we have all come to expect from any supplement sold by Optimum Nutrition.

Physical energy		This product can be taken before you lift and also after you lift and during the day as an energy boost.
Physical energy		I would take two scoops before my workout and two after which gave me a reboost recovery energy so you dont get that real exhausted feeling after you crush weights.

Pump		It gets the job done right, gives you energy to pump, good focus, and great results.
Value for money		Do yourself a favor, grab some of this stuff, its cheap, last a while, and will help you out.


Value for money		The price per serving for the ingredients you get with this product is one of the worst on the market.
Value for money		If you know anything about supplementing you will skip this product, it's massively expensive and highly underdosed.
Ingredient profile		The amino blend itself is only 5g and combines so many ingredients that you do not receive anywhere near the needed amount of each.
Ingredient profile		It seems Optimum is attempting to put so many things into one so they can claim that they have the individual ingredients and subsequently prey on consumers who don't realize that all of those ingredients are underdosed and won't actually help you unless you take an extremely large amount of the product.
Ingredient profile		The price per serving for the ingredients you get with this product is one of the worst on the market.


Pump		I been using the DY NOXPump and this has been working great stacked together.

Taste		Same goes with the taste.
Taste		but no nasty aftertaste.

Taste		Taste is great on both the grape and fruit fusion.
Mixes well		but this product mixes extremely well....


Physical energy		I wonder what ON was thinking releasing this alleged energy supplement; all it is, is a kitchen sink blend of ingredients.
Physical energy		Nonetheless, I would strongly suggest looking into the countless (clean) energy supplement alternatives out there, because spending money on this just wouldn't be worth it.
Taste		Its only saving grace (if you could even call it that) was that it didn't taste half bad.
Value for money		Nonetheless, I would strongly suggest looking into the countless (clean) energy supplement alternatives out there, because spending money on this just wouldn't be worth it.
Ingredient profile		This was no surprise to me, considering how severely under-dosed all of the ingredients are.
