FAQ

Will I feel a rush when I drink PRO-R? No. PRO-R provides energy in its purest form. Subsequently, there is no "crash" associated with drinking PRO-R. What you will notice is your body continuing to perform at the peak of your ability and your mind able to remain focused over a longer period of time.

What are amino acids? Amino acids are essentially protein in its purest form. By ingesting protein in its simplest form, you save your body a step in the digestion process, absorbing it more quickly than a heavy protein bar or shake, realizing the benefits more quickly.

How can something I drink improve my performance? While it takes training, practice and experience to improve your skill level, PRO-R helps you perform better by quickly delivering sustained energy to your muscles when you need it most.

How will PRO-R help me get the most out of training/practice? PRO-R helps you get the most out of your training and practice by providing fast-acting energy so you can practice longer and push yourself further. It helps your muscles recover quicker – even while you work out – thereby reducing pain and soreness so you can get back out there the next day. For more, see our Science section.

Is PRO-R meant for professional athletes? While PRO-R is used by hundreds of professional athletes from runners and triathletes to body builders and golfers, many amateurs also use PRO-R. Our customers tell us they enjoy the added benefits over typical sports drinks as well as its affordability, costing less per serving than your typical bottled water or sports/energy drink.

Are Amino Vital® products approved sports supplements? Yes, every production batch from each Amino Vital® product is analyzed and certified by the BSCG (Banned Substance Control Group). The BSCG is an independent organization, which assists responsible dietary supplement manufacturers who wish to ensure that their products do not contain dangerous banned substances.

Amino Vital® ships a sample of each batch to a state-of-the-art anti-doping research laboratory that has been designated by the BSCG. The laboratory analyzes the sample for over 160 substances that are banned by sports organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Football League (NFL), and many other professional and amateur sports leagues. A product that bears the BSCG seal lets the customer know that the product has received BSCG Certification and that no banned substances were found above detection limits. For more information on the BSCG, visit www.bscg.org

Amino Vital® has also been approved for use by the USOC and the PGA.

Are Amino Vital® products safe? Amino Vital® products contain AJIPURE, the highest-quality pharmaceutical grade amino acids (between 99%-100% pure) available anywhere. Our parent company Ajinomoto was one of the first to make pharmaceutical-grade amino acids, literally inventing the process and is currently the global leader in the research, production and sales of amino acids. AJIPURE amino acids are widely used in intravenous solutions, infant formulas, prescription medications and other specialty medical products.
