Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy is a long running favorite pre-workout supplement among many. Not only does Amino Energy provide amino acids for muscle growth and recovery, it also contains caffeine for added energy while training. Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy UC-II Collagen now also contains collagen for added joint and cartilage support.
Amino Energy is one of our hottest selling products and is used for both a Pre Workout by some, and an Amino Acid formula by others. By adding 10mg of undenatured Type II Collagen, the aim is to support healthy joints. They've also added Vitamin C which also supports collagen synthesis and provides antioxidant support.
