Your Muscles Can't Build Themselves — But This Can Help.
Every time you train, your muscles break down. What happens next depends entirely on what you give your body. EAAs — Essential Amino Acids — are the raw material your body demands to repair, rebuild, and come back stronger. The catch? Your body cannot produce them on its own. You have to supply them. Every. Single. Day.
Nutrition Lab EAA Instant Powder delivers all 9 essential amino acids in one refreshing, ice-cold Peach Iced Tea serving — so you actually want to drink it.
What's Inside & Why It Matters
This is not just a flavoured powder. Every gram has a job to do.
BCAAs — 5,341mg per serving
(L-Leucine 2,671mg · L-Isoleucine 1,335mg · L-Valine 1,335mg)
BCAAs are the three most critical amino acids for muscle. Think of them as the construction crew that shows up the moment you finish training.
-
L-Leucine is the foreman of the operation — the most potent activator of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) known to science. 2,671mg per serving hits the sweet spot to trigger your body's anabolic response.
-
L-Isoleucine supports energy production during exercise and helps shuttle glucose into muscle cells, keeping endurance high and fatigue lower.
-
L-Valine completes the trio by reducing muscle breakdown during training and assisting with tissue repair and nitrogen balance.
Result: Less soreness. Faster recovery. More gains.
L-Lysine — 1,690mg per serving
Lysine is often overlooked, but it's doing serious behind-the-scenes work.
- Essential for collagen synthesis — the protein that keeps your joints, tendons, and connective tissue strong (everything athletes abuse)
- Plays a key role in calcium absorption, contributing to bone density
- Supports your immune system, because there's no point in training hard if you keep getting sick
Result: Stronger joints, resilient bones, and an immune system that keeps up with your training.
L-Threonine — 910mg per serving
Threonine is a quiet powerhouse that keeps your muscles healthy and your immune system firing.
- Helps maintain muscle protein and collagen, directly supporting tissue integrity
- Critical for the production of glycine and serine — two amino acids involved in immune response and central nervous system function
- Supports gut health, which directly impacts nutrient absorption (and how much benefit you get from everything else in this formula)
Result: Stronger tissue, better immunity, and optimal nutrient absorption.
L-Phenylalanine — 780mg per serving
This one's for your head, not just your muscles.
- L-Phenylalanine is the direct precursor to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine — your focus, drive, and motivation neurotransmitters
- Supports mental sharpness and mood during long or gruelling training sessions
- Also converts to tyrosine, which plays a role in thyroid hormone production and metabolic regulation
Result: Stay mentally locked in when training gets tough.
L-Methionine — 650mg per serving
Methionine is your body's built-in antioxidant starter pack.
- It's the precursor to glutathione — the most powerful antioxidant the body produces — which neutralizes free radicals caused by intense exercise
- Supports liver function and detoxification, helping your body process the metabolic load of hard training
- Also critical for creatine synthesis, meaning it indirectly fuels your explosive energy system
Result: Reduced oxidative stress, better recovery, and a liver that handles your training load.
Green Tea Extract — 364mg per serving (2.8% of formula)
Not just for taste. This is where the formula gets smart.
- Rich in EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), one of the most studied and potent natural antioxidants in sports nutrition
- Supports fat metabolism — green tea catechins have been shown to increase fat oxidation during exercise
- Provides a mild natural caffeine lift for sustained, clean energy without the crash
- Powerful anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce post-workout inflammation at the cellular level
Result: Better fat burning, sharper focus, and less inflammation after every session.
L-Tryptophan — 260mg per serving
The recovery amino you didn't know you needed.
- Tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin — your wellbeing and mood neurotransmitter — and ultimately melatonin, the hormone that regulates deep sleep
- Better sleep = better recovery. It's that simple.
- Also supports pain tolerance during training via central nervous system pathways
Result: You recover while you sleep — and now your sleep works harder for you.

Why EAAs and Not Just Protein?
Protein powders need to be digested and broken down before your body can use the amino acids inside them. EAAs are already in their free-form amino acid state — they bypass digestion and absorb rapidly into your bloodstream, reaching your muscles fast. During training, when digestion slows down, EAAs keep working. Protein powders don't.
That's why elite athletes and serious gym-goers use both — protein for overall daily intake, and EAAs for precision, in-the-moment muscle support.
How to Use
Mix 1 scoop (13g) into 350ml of cold water. Shake or stir and drink.
For a lighter taste, increase to 500–600ml.
Storage
Store at room temperature below 21°C, dry and sealed. Protect from direct sunlight and humidity. Use promptly after opening.
Food supplement. Not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
FAQ
Q: What are EAAs and why do I need them?
A: Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the 9 amino acids your body cannot produce on its own — meaning you must get them from food or supplements. They are the direct building blocks of muscle tissue. Without an adequate daily supply, your body cannot properly repair or build muscle after training, no matter how hard you work out.
Q: How is this different from a BCAA supplement?
A: BCAAs contain only 3 amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine). EAAs contain all 9 essential amino acids, including BCAAs. Research consistently shows that a full EAA profile drives greater muscle protein synthesis than BCAAs alone. Think of BCAAs as a subset — EAAs are the complete picture.
Q: When is the best time to take EAAs?
A: The most effective window is during training (intra-workout) — sipping it while you train delivers amino acids to your muscles in real time, reducing breakdown and supporting performance. It also works excellently post-workout for immediate recovery, or between meals to keep your amino acid levels topped up throughout the day.
Q: Can I take EAAs on rest days?
A: Absolutely. Recovery doesn't stop on rest days — your muscles are still repairing and growing. Taking EAAs on rest days helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance and supports the ongoing recovery process, especially if your diet doesn't always hit optimal protein targets.
Q: Do EAAs replace protein powder?
A: No — they complement it. Protein powder covers your overall daily protein intake. EAAs are fast-absorbing free-form amino acids that work during and immediately after training when digestion is slow and your muscles need fuel fast. Most serious athletes use both strategically.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners or only advanced athletes?
A: Both. If you train consistently and want to recover faster, feel less sore, and perform better — EAAs work regardless of your experience level. Beginners often notice the difference faster because their bodies are adapting rapidly to new training stimulus.
Q: Does it mix well? Will it clump?
A: This formula is designed for instant mixing. Add 13g to 350ml of cold water, shake or stir for a few seconds, and it's ready. No blender needed, no clumps, no residue at the bottom of the bottle.
Q: Is it suitable for vegans?
A: Yes. This product is 100% vegan-friendly, with no animal-derived ingredients.
Q: Is it lactose-free?
A: Yes. When prepared with 350ml of water as recommended, this product is lactose-free. It may contain traces of milk due to production facility handling — check the allergen section if you have a severe dairy allergy.
Q: Does it contain caffeine?
A: It contains Green Tea Extract (364mg per serving), which carries a small amount of natural caffeine. It's not a stimulant-heavy pre-workout, but it provides a mild, clean energy lift without jitters or a crash — ideal for intra-workout use.
Q: How many servings are in one tub?
A: Each 500g tub contains 38 servings at 13g per serving — just over a month's supply if used daily.
Q: Does it contain sugar?
A: No added sugar. It is sweetened with Acesulfam K and Sucralose, which provide sweetness without impacting blood sugar levels — making it suitable for low-carb and calorie-conscious diets.
Q: Are there any allergens I should know about?
A: This product contains Soy (from the emulsifier Soy Lecithin). It may contain traces of Gluten, Egg, Soy, and Milk due to shared production facilities. It is free from: Crustaceans, Eggs, Fish, Gluten, Peanuts, Milk, Tree Nuts, Celery, Mustard, Sesame, Sulphur Dioxide, Lupin, and Molluscs.
Q: How should I store it?
A: Store at room temperature, below 21°C, in a dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and strong odours. Always keep the lid tightly closed and use the product promptly after opening.
Q: How long does it last once opened?
A: The product has a shelf life of 24 months from production. Once opened, store correctly and consume as soon as reasonably possible to preserve freshness and flavour quality.
