Ultra Concentrated Anabolic Amino Acid Formula
- Full Label Transparency - No Proprietary Blends
- 8:1:1 BCAA Ratio to Help Promote mTOR Pathway Activation*
- Complete Amino Acid Profile - Contains Both Essential and Non-Essential Amino Acids
- Leucine Peptides for Enhanced Leucine Bioavailability to Trigger Muscle Protein Synthesis*
- No Sugar or Artificial FD&C Dyes
Monster Amino™ is an ultra-concentrated BCAA formula that delivers an 8:1:1 Ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine. Recent university of research shows that Leucine enriched beverage consumed with exercise synergistically activates and prolongs activity of the mTOR signaling pathway, which increases muscle anabolic potential (muscle growth)1-3. The mTOR pathway is the "trigger" that signals the very genesis of muscle protein synthesis.*
Monster Amino is able to achieve the anabolic 8:1:1 BCAA ratio by combining PepForm™ Leucine Peptides and free-form L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine for maximum muscle-building performance.*

Flavor: Fruit Punch
I was pleasantly surprised with Monster Amino. Complete EAA and BCAA profile, Mixes well and tastes good. Leucine is the Big Dog of the aminos, for muscle building, and Monster Amino brings the goods. Well Done CytoSport.

Flavor: Fruit Punch
Mixibility: 9/10
Poured one serving (40g) into 1 liter water bottle and shook vigorously for ~15 seconds. There was a little bit of the powder stuck to the bottle that came off the second time I filled the water bottle. There was a white foam on top of the pinkish liquid after mixing but it didn’t affect the taste or mixiblity.
Taste: 9.5/10
The fruit punch tasted awesome! I didn’t give it a 10 because there was a slight artificial-sweetener aftertaste that kind of lingers on the tongue. Otherwise, I had to force myself to sip this product and not chug it down, since it was so palatable. Lol.
Value: 8.25/10
$0.766 per 40g serving. Considering the ingredients, this isn’t too bad of a price for essentially BCAAs and a “patented” blend of carbohydrates (waxy maize starch, glycerine and maltodextrin). The product recommends taking post-workout, but I see this product as more of an intra-workout equivalent to something like Gaspari Size-on or Scivation Xtend.
Overall: 8.75/10
While there are more cost-effective options if you’re looking for only BCAAs or only intra-workout carbohydrates, I think CytoSport effectively combined the two ingredients to make a tasty and refreshing post-workout amino acid drink. I would recommend this product if you’re a fan of other CytoSport products or if you’re in the market for a great tasting BCAA supplement and carbs aren’t an issue in your diet (31g per 40g serving).

Flavor: Fruit Punch
I personally think this is a great product. It has a great amount of BCAA's and it also has added carbs which I enjoyed. Obviously though if your looking for a carb free product then this is not for you. I would definitely recommend this product.
