Compare every EAAs product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.
Essential Amino Acids blend containing all nine amino acids the body cannot synthesise
We rank EAAs by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
EAAs are Essential Amino Acids. Amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins in the body, and "essential" means these specific nine types cannot be made by your body on its own. Because you cannot synthesise them, you must get them from the food you eat or from a supplement.
These are used to provide the body with the necessary components to build and repair muscle tissue. They are often taken to support recovery after exercise or to prevent muscle breakdown when calories are low.
To make these supplements, manufacturers use a process called fermentation. This involves using microorganisms, like bacteria, to break down a sugar source into specific amino acids. Once the desired amino acids are produced, they are filtered, purified, and dried into a powder.
This supplement is generally mid-priced. The cost is driven by the fact that producing nine different purified amino acids through fermentation is more complex and expensive than sourcing a single ingredient or a simple protein powder.
| Purpose | Typical studied dose | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
