While it's true that ON is one of the world's largest producers of sports nutrition products, they remain focused on being recognized as the best.

Scrap scoop
Great product, but I’ll probably find something else now. They have to figure out this scoop thing… make the tube smaller? Anything… it’s extremely frustrating

Remove Red Dye 40
Grape is my favorite. I prefer it over coffee in the AM, however, Red Dye 40 needs to be removed. The cans don’t have it, neither should the powder. And like the other comments the smaller scoop is a pain.

We appreciate your honest feedback for Red 40 and prioritize designing formulas with the best ingredients in mind. Please rest assured we’ve shared your feedback with our internal teams!

Great active ingredients, inactive artificial ones
The first product I bought was the Amino Energy with natural flavor. Tasted great, not too sweet. Bought ESSENTIAL AMIN.O. ENERGY® with artificial flavor and unfortunately sucralose. Besides the artificial flavor, artificial sweetener, and artificial coloring, it is way too sweet. I bought two 30 serving jars. The only thing I am happy with is the active ingredients, and the reasonable price. Sorry for the bad review. I would have bought the natural flavor but you didn’t have the Fruit Punch flavor and it appears the flavor and sweetener have been changed to artificial. So disappointed. Expected more from a health company.

Energizing without the crash!!!
Very very good product. Versatile in the fact of you can set the intensity of the caffein you want. The best part is that there is no crash like all other energy drinks. It can serve as a solid pre workout drink or just a pick me up during that day.

This product was ok.
I tried this as a cheaper alternative to "spark" through advocare. I don't feel as much of a boost and the flavor isn't the greatest. I will finish it but probably won't be buying again.

Ok flavor
I got this in hopes of boosting my energy while drinking water. For me this product did nothing for my energy levels, left a gritty taste in my mouth and didnt really taste like fruit. Overall for me it was a bust.

Not noticeable difference
I am one to use a variety of nutritional products and I do work out regularly T least 5 times a week. I took this product as advertised on back of box but I did not notice a change in my energy or elsewhere. What I did notice was it caused me to have an upset stomach and also diarrhea . I would not recommend this product to others as I feel there is other products that simply put work better without the discomfort. I appreciate the opportunity to try this product but I will not be recommending to others .

Decent
This works decent but I had high hopes for it. Didn't give me energy to perform as well in the gym as I had hopes for. But everyone's body is different so what didn't work for me may very well work for you.

Not for me
When trying the Optimum Nutrition Amnio Energy I was really hopeful to a great alternative to what I normally use. Unfortunately this wasn't what I was hoping for. I didn't care much for the taste at all. It was easy to make up though. I do give it that. So there is a convenience factor.

great prework out
this pre work gives me a lot of energy. I prefer it over coffee because it tastes so much better than it. It doesn't make u crash like coffee does. It tastes great alone with water or juice. It has nutrition which coffee does't have.

it tasted ok but could be better.
I got this to see how it was as i needed something new for my exercise routine. i didn't care for this flavor but i saw there is other flavors that i'm going to try and see if there is any i like as it sometimes takes me a few tries to find something i truly like. but other then not caring for the flavor i did notice a change in how i was feeling so that was good so do plan on continuing buying this product
