Dirty Squads - Amino9x

About the Product

Dirty Squads' Amino9X is a premium intra-workout formula of complete essential amino acids (EAAs), delivering the 9 essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize endogenously and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. The formula is enriched with coconut water powder as a natural source of electrolytes, supporting hydration and electrolyte balance during intense exercise. Each 10g serving mixed with 250ml of water provides rapid absorption, excellent mixability, and a complete amino acid profile to support muscle protein synthesis, reduce catabolism, and aid recovery during and after training. 300g pack with 30 servings. Vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and no added sugars. Available in 3 flavors: Watermelon, Lemon, and Tutti Frutti.

Benefits

The 9 complete essential amino acids (EAAs) — the advantage over isolated BCAAs: Conventional BCAAs provide only 3 of the 9 essential amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine). While these three are the most relevant for muscle protein synthesis, recent research shows that the presence of the other 6 essential amino acids — L-Lysine, L-Methionine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Tryptophan, and L-Histidine — significantly enhances the anabolic response, as the body needs all 9 to complete protein synthesis. Supplementation with complete EAAs is therefore superior to supplementation with isolated BCAAs, especially in contexts of fasted training, hypocaloric diets, or high-volume training periods where the risk of muscle catabolism is higher.

L-Leucine as the main activator of muscle protein synthesis: Among the 9 EAAs present in Amino9X, L-Leucine plays a prominent role due to its greater ability to directly activate the mTORC1 complex, the main intracellular regulator of muscle protein synthesis. L-Leucine acts as a molecular signal that "informs" the muscle of amino acid availability and triggers the protein synthesis process, even in the absence of insulin. Clinical studies document that the presence of sufficient L-Leucine in an amino acid formula is the main determinant of the acute anabolic response, with the BCAAs included in Amino9X's EAA profile being particularly relevant in this context.

Coconut water powder for hydration and natural electrolytes during training: The most innovative differential of Amino9X compared to conventional EAA/BCAA products is the inclusion of coconut water powder, a natural source of electrolytes — potassium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus — which supports fluid balance and muscle function during exercise. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances are limiting factors for performance in moderate to high-intensity training, especially in hot conditions, long durations, or high sweating. The combination of EAAs with natural coconut water electrolytes transforms Amino9X into a complete intra-workout drink, simultaneously covering amino acid support and hydration, without the need for additional products.

Fast-absorbing, low-calorie intra-workout formula: The free amino acid powder format — without whole proteins that require prior digestion — allows for much faster gastrointestinal absorption than that obtained with conventional proteins such as whey or casein. Free amino acids are absorbed directly in the small intestine and reach systemic circulation within 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion, making Amino9X ideal for consumption during training, where the immediate availability of amino acids can mitigate exercise-induced muscle catabolism and reduce fatigue. The low caloric intake per serving makes it compatible with any diet plan, including cutting diets and caloric restriction.

Clean label: vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, sugar-free: Amino9X is fully compatible with vegan diets — amino acids are produced by fermentation and contain no animal derivatives — and is free of gluten, soy, and added sugars, making it suitable for the vast majority of dietary profiles and goals.

Usage

Intra-workout: Mix 1 scoop (10 g) with 250 ml of cold water. Consume during your training session, especially in workouts lasting longer than 45 to 60 minutes, high-volume sets, or when training fasted.

Immediate post-workout: Consume within the first few minutes after training for rapid muscle recovery support, especially when a solid post-workout meal is delayed by more than 30 to 60 minutes.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Close the package tightly after each use.
