Why Proprietary blend?
I think these EAAs could be a great supplement but unfortunately I will not buy them again since they are a proprietary mix.I see no logical reason not to list the dosage of each amino acid. I like Ben greenfield and I love listening to his podcasts. But for the price you pay for this supplement I think we deserve to know that we are getting the right dosage as Kion advertises.

Felt AWFUL on these
I'm on a plant based diet and wanted to get some extra aminos in to help build muscle.I had awful stomach pains, felt distant, depressed.. just awful. Will never take these again. I'm hyper aware of my body and feel like there's something in these that the company isn't telling us.Update 2 days later: top 3 stomach pains of my life. Savage. Absolutely Savage. I wanted to die.Oct 1, 2020: I still remember the stomach pains from taking this.

Caused a reaction for me
I purchased because I was moving to a plant based diet and read that taking EAA were recommended because your diet could lack these amino acids that you used to get from meat based proteins. I took 5/day before workout. After a few days to a week I broke out in a rash on both arms and my eye lid. I did not get officially diagnosed at the Doctor, this is my own conclusion after some research. This was the only new thing that changed. The plant based foods I was eating, I had before, so I do not think that could have caused my symptoms. I'm mostly writing this so others can be informed and to do their own research before purchasing these or any supplement.

Terrifying Reaction, beware
I felt nightmarish after taking just one of these. Horribly depressed, dizzy, sweaty, and dazed. Kicking myself for taking this junk. We are meant to absorb aminos from whole food proteins, dont consume synthetic/isolated aminos.

Ben Greenfield products on-point
Few people more deserving of my money than Ben Greenfield. I owe more of my physical well-being to him than anyone else—he’s the most knowledgeable person in health/fitness/longevity Ive encountered and the products he recommended have been awesome for me so when he came out with his own, I knew I could trust the efficacy & quality of his products as much as anyone’s. I take 1 to 2 servings daily and in conjunction with his Kion Lean product, it has helped me lean up quickly without any meaningful loss in strength. Also, these amino acids have aided me tremendously in transitioning away from so much animal protein and to be able to viably, easily do a mostly vegan diet without needing to eat a ton of starchy plant protein. They are also great in that now I can fast the entire day( no lunch, just breakfast and dinner) so your energy level & intensity for work is sky-high.Side note: Kion Lean is amazing: it truly levels your blood sugar and the headaches I would always get when I tried to fast during the afternoons instantly disappeared leaving me free to not have to stop to eat—thereby making the calorie-deficit necessary to lean-down, easy and also enjoy the elevated power & intensity of skipping lunch while your coworkers are hitting the wall by 2pm

Aminos!
I love these aminos! They taste pretty good too! You can tell the quality of the product just by the way they smell, it’s very pure.I only take 3 out of the 5 recommended since at the moment I’m not doing any really intense long workouts. I recently have been able to extend my fasts with these aminos as they give me a very nice balanced energy toward the end of my fasts. Usually as I approach hour 15+ without food, I begin to feel somewhat depleted of energy, so when I take these I can easily go for a couple more hours. I am aware that if you drink or eat anything other than water, your fast will stop, so these aminos might have that affect, but even so, I still feel really well going thru the day without having to eat until dinner or lunch when I take these around that 15 hour period. So I recommend trying these out whether you’re using them for their intended purpose or to give you that extra boost while going thru a fast.

Be careful
This product caused crashing fatigue for me to the extent that I was unable to participate in my daily activities. I suspect it is the Tryptophan but can’t be certain since the dosages are not revealed on the labeling.

It really works.
I have been significantly less sore after working out since I started taking this! I take it on an empty stomach in the morning and do a cross fit style exercise five mornings a week. And yes, I can tell I've worked out but I no longer feel so sore by Friday that I wish I could just roll out muscles or stretch. I am quite pleased with this product.
