Product Overview
Amino Fuel Ultimate EAAs from Applied Nutrition is an amino acid drink powder in a small 7-serving tub — a one-week supply, as the tub says. Each 13g scoop gives about 11g of amino acids: all nine essential amino acids (EAAs), including 6g of BCAAs, plus 2.5g of L-glutamine.
The photos show two flavours, Raspberry Mojito and Cola Blast, and the listing says the flavour may vary — message us if you want a particular one. The tub carries a Tested for Athletes mark.
Key Benefits
- All nine essential amino acids — the ones your body cannot make. Muscle is built from all nine, which is why an EAA product makes more sense than BCAAs alone.
- Leucine, 3g a scoop — the amino acid that switches on muscle protein building after exercise.
- A flavoured drink around training — it encourages you to drink more water, which matters in Dhaka heat.
Honest note: if you already eat enough protein — from meat, fish, eggs, dal and milk, or a whey shake — extra amino acids add little for muscle. EAAs make most sense for people who train on an empty stomach or whose protein intake is low. Reduced muscle breakdown and faster recovery, as the seller promises, are plausible in those situations but modest.

Where the Listing and the Tub Disagree
- BCAA ratio: the seller says 3:1:1. The panel gives 3,000mg leucine, 1,500mg isoleucine and 1,500mg valine, which is 2:1:1.
- Zero sugar: the tub rounds it to 0g; the panel gives 0.3g per scoop. Small, but not nothing.
How to Use
- Mix one 13g scoop with water and shake well. The listing does not give the amount of water — follow the tub.
- Drink it before, during or after training.
- On hot days, sip it through the session.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Adults who train regularly and want a flavoured, low-calorie amino acid drink — particularly those who train before eating or eat little protein.
- Phenylketonuria (PKU) — it contains phenylalanine (335mg a scoop). Avoid it.
- Kidney or liver disease — ask your doctor before taking amino acid supplements.
- Maple syrup urine disease, a rare inherited condition — BCAAs must be avoided.
- Not for children, pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
- Sweetened with sucralose — check if you avoid artificial sweeteners.
Why Choose Amino Fuel?
A full EAA profile rather than BCAAs alone, every amino acid listed by the milligram, an established UK maker, and a small tub to try before committing to a larger one.
This Is a Supplement, Not a Medicine
A dietary supplement is a food product. It is not a medicine, it has not been through the testing a medicine goes through, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Supplement labels use health language — “supports”, “helps maintain”, “promotes” — precisely because they are not permitted to claim treatment. Read them that way. If a listing anywhere promises that a capsule will fix a medical condition, that promise is not one the product can keep.
What a supplement can honestly do is fill a gap in your diet. That is worth something, and it is a smaller thing than most packaging implies.
Talk to a Doctor First
Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly if you:
- take any prescribed medicine — supplements interfere with medicines more often than people expect
- are being treated for a heart, liver, kidney, thyroid or blood condition
- have diabetes
- are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
- have surgery or a dental procedure coming up
Never stop or reduce a prescribed medicine in order to take a supplement instead. That is the single most dangerous thing anyone does with a product like this, and it is what the marketing language quietly invites.
About the Imported Pack
This is an imported product. The label, the dose instructions and the ingredient panel are the ones printed for the market it was made for, and the wording may differ from a locally packaged version.
Follow the dose printed on the pack itself — it is the authority on its own contents — and check the expiry date when it arrives. If anything on the label is unclear, message us before you take it and we will read it to you.
Storage
- Close the lid tightly after every use — powder clumps quickly in humidity.
- Use a dry scoop, and keep the tub cool and out of direct sun.
- Drink a mixed shake the same day; do not leave it standing in the heat.
- Keep it out of reach of children.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the label say 0g protein and 2 calories?
That is how the panel is printed, even though the scoop is mostly amino acids — the building blocks of protein. Amino acids do supply some energy when your body uses them, but 11g is a small amount next to a meal.
EAAs or BCAAs?
EAAs. Muscle needs all nine essential amino acids, and BCAAs are only three of them. This product contains both.
Can I choose the flavour?
The listing says the flavour may vary. Message us and we will tell you which we have.
Can I take it with my other supplements?
Check the labels for anything that appears in both — doubling a dose by accident is easy. If you are on prescribed medicine as well, ask a pharmacist. They do this check quickly and for free.
How do I check the pack is in date?
The expiry date is printed on the bottle or the base of the box. Check it as soon as your order arrives. If it is unreadable or close to expiry, message us and we will replace it.
