The \u003cstrong\u003e350 g tub covers exactly 30 servings\u003c\/strong\u003e. The flavours listed: PickNMix, Fizzy Peach Sweets, Ultra Energy, Strawberry Mango and Cherry Mango.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this product apart is the raw material: \u003cstrong\u003eall nine amino acids come from plant fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, which makes the formula entirely vegan. The manufacturer also declares it gluten free, lactose free and with no added sugars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the composition fits into four lines: malic acid, natural flavourings, sucralose and a colour that varies with the flavour. One clarification along the way, because the manufacturer's own sheet words it differently: \u003cstrong\u003esucralose is an artificial sweetener, not a natural one.\u003c\/strong\u003e The full British brand range sits in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/naughty-boy\"\u003eNaughty Boy\u003c\/a\u003e aisle, and the whole category in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/eaa\"\u003eEAA\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does an 11.5 g serving contain?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNutrient\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer 11.5 g serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer 100 g*\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 kJ \/ 10 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e365 kJ \/ 87 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEssential amino acids (total)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8,500 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73.9 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eless than 0.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eless than 0.87 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Column calculated from the values declared for 11.5 g.

In other words, only 3 grams go to the flavouring, the malic acid and the sweetener. That is an honest ratio for this category, where some heavily flavoured powders drop a good deal lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is missing, on the other hand, has to be flagged, and it matters: \u003cstrong\u003ethe manufacturer does not publish the amount of each individual amino acid.\u003c\/strong\u003e The ingredients list names them in descending order — leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, histidine, methionine, tryptophan — but no figure comes with that list. \u003cstrong\u003eSo you cannot know the leucine content\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the first point of comparison for any EAA. We will not invent it; read the label on the tub you receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the order of the list does tell you is that leucine is the dominant amino acid and that the three BCAAs take the top three places — a classic pattern, consistent with a 2:1:1 ratio across that fraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA regulatory note to close: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is authorised in Europe for free amino acids.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not protein synthesis, not recovery, not endurance, not anti-catabolism. We describe a composition, a dose and a use — not an effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you take Naughty Boy Amino EAA?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5 g, that is one scoop. \u003cstrong\u003eLiquid:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 ml of cold water. \u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 to 30 minutes before the session, during exercise lasting more than 60 minutes, or straight after. \u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e one serving a day, rest days included according to the manufacturer. \u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 12 weeks of use, followed by a 1 to 2 week break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour hundred millilitres for 11.5 g is a generous dilution, and it is deliberate. Free amino acids are acidic; at 250 ml the drink becomes hard to finish. Use \u003cstrong\u003ecold water\u003c\/strong\u003e: warm water dissolves it less well and the taste suffers. Shake until fully dissolved and drink once prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer allows for three windows. In practice they are not equally useful depending on your situation: \u003cstrong\u003ebefore the session\u003c\/strong\u003e if you train fasted, \u003cstrong\u003eduring\u003c\/strong\u003e beyond an hour of exercise, \u003cstrong\u003eafter\u003c\/strong\u003e if your next meal is a long way off. If you have eaten a full meal two hours before, the extra intake is of little further interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eone to two week break after 4 to 12 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e is a manufacturer recommendation. Nothing compels you to follow it on a product that is only an amino acid supply, but it does have one practical merit: it forces you to check that your diet stands up on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose the tub properly and store it in a dry place: free amino acid powders take up moisture and cake into a solid block, as the manufacturer points out itself. Stated shelf life: 24 months in the unopened original packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this EAA for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed first and foremost at \u003cstrong\u003evegans\u003c\/strong\u003e: the amino acids come from plant fermentation, with no animal raw material. It also suits anyone training fasted or a long way from a meal, and anyone who cannot stomach a milky shaker during exercise — at 10 kcal and with no fat, this drink weighs on nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for children under 12\u003c\/strong\u003e, and asks \u003cstrong\u003epregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as people \u003cstrong\u003eon medication\u003c\/strong\u003e to seek professional advice. Mind the list of traces, which is a long one: the product is made in a facility that handles \u003cstrong\u003eGLUTEN, MILK, EGGS, SOYA, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, PEANUTS and NUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are allergic to any of them, the “gluten free” claim made elsewhere is not enough to reassure you. Do not exceed 11.5 g a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits you less well if you want to compare precisely what you are buying: with no published leucine content, comparison with another EAA remains approximate. That is the real limitation of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it: \u003cstrong\u003e8.5 g of amino acids do not replace a protein intake\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is not a substitute for \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e, and the cost per gram is far higher. If your daily intake is already adequate, this product will add nothing measurable — that is the first question to ask yourself, and rarely the one you hear asked in the aisle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNaughty Boy EAA or Rule One Essential Amino 9?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell both, in the same 11.5 g serving size and the same number of servings. The comparison is therefore direct, and it is instructive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/rule-one\"\u003eRule One Essential Amino 9\u003c\/a\u003e delivers 7.5 g of amino acids per serving, one gram less, but it \u003cstrong\u003epublishes the content of each of the nine\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2,500 mg of leucine at the top — and it adds 500 mg of electrolytes. It is the better choice if you want to know exactly what you are drinking, and if the sodium and magnesium intake matters to you on long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaughty Boy wins on two concrete points. The \u003cstrong\u003eamount of amino acids per serving\u003c\/strong\u003e, at 8.5 g against 7.5 g. And the \u003cstrong\u003edeclared plant fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, which makes it a genuinely vegan option where not every competitor spells that out. It also offers a wider choice of flavours, in an unashamedly confectionery register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat settles it, then, is what you value: one extra gram of amino acids, or full transparency on the detail. If your need is mainly mineral hydration, neither will replace a product from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electrolytes\"\u003eelectrolytes\u003c\/a\u003e aisle. And if you are weighing up a cheaper option, be aware that our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bcaa-eaa\"\u003eBCAA\u003c\/a\u003e aisle supplies only three amino acids out of nine: the saving is paid for with an incomplete profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much leucine per serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer does not publish it in the labelling data available to us, and we will not invent it. The ingredients list places leucine first, which indicates it is the dominant one of the nine, with no further precision. The label on the tub you receive is what counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the formula suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The amino acids come from plant fermentation, with no animal raw material, and the manufacturer declares the formula lactose free and gluten free. One caveat, though: the production facility handles milk, eggs and fish, and traces are possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many servings in the 350 g tub?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty exactly, at 11.5 g per serving. At four sessions a week, that works out at around seven weeks; taken daily as the manufacturer suggests, one month. The stated shelf life is 24 months unopened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Ultra Energy flavour contain caffeine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredients list supplied to us mentions no stimulant, and no caffeine content has been communicated to us for this flavour. As the name may be misleading, check the label on the tub you receive if you are sensitive to caffeine or if you train in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you really need 400 ml of water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is what the manufacturer settles on, and it is a good setting. A free amino acid powder is acidic and concentrated in taste: at 250 ml the drink becomes unpleasant to finish. The generous volume has a second advantage, it makes you drink during the session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take a break between two periods of use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer advises 4 to 12 weeks of use then a 1 to 2 week break. Nothing requires it on a simple amino acid supply, but that break has one merit: it obliges you to check that your diet stands up on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you take it on rest days?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer allows it. We are more measured: if your protein intake is already sufficient, taking it on days without a session brings nothing demonstrated and halves how long the tub lasts. Save it for the days when a protein meal is genuinely missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Naughty Boy Amino EAA 350 g?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. The 350 g tub with 30 servings is a sensible size to try for a first EAA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, it is one of the few products we put straight up against a competitor on the counter, because the two tubs have exactly the same serving size. One extra gram of amino acids on one side, the full label detail on the other: it is up to the customer to say what matters most.
