How to use
Mix 2 scoops with 300–350 ml of cold water. Before training, the label allows 2–6 scoops 30 minutes before you start; after training, 2–4 scoops. Every 2 scoops add 100 mg of caffeine, so start with one serving and don’t exceed the label’s limit. Each 2-scoop serving has 100 mg of caffeine, so count it with your coffee and other caffeinated drinks, and avoid it if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Amino Energy + Electrolytes questions
How much caffeine is in Amino Energy + Electrolytes?
One serving (2 scoops) contains 100 mg of caffeine from natural sources, about a mug of instant coffee. The label allows more scoops before training, but start with one 2-scoop serving and see how you feel.
How is it different from the original Amino Energy?
This version adds electrolytes to replace what you lose in sweat, and has 5 calories and zero sugar per serving. The original Amino Energy has no added electrolytes. Choose this one for long sessions, hot weather or outdoor sport.
When should I drink it?
Before training for energy and hydration, during long sessions, or after training as a lighter recovery drink. Mix 2 scoops with 300–350 ml of cold water. It also works as a sugar-free afternoon drink if you are not sensitive to caffeine.
How many servings are in a tub?
The 285 g tub holds 30 servings of 2 scoops, about a month at one serving on training days.
Who should not use it?
It is not for people under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, people sensitive to caffeine, or anyone taking medication without their doctor’s advice. Each 2-scoop serving has 100 mg of caffeine, so count it with your coffee and other caffeinated drinks, and avoid it if you are sensitive to caffeine. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
