Will the Amino Energy affect sleep if used later in the day?

Most likely absolutely defiantly the best flavour, mixes so well as a smoothie or on its own, have had other brands and mixes and they don’t mix half as well as this brand and flavour !

Classified as disabled and not currently moving body massively, I only take 1 third what others normaly would. Still this product adds energy to be able to do more than otherwise could or would ! Though grape is good, would like to try different flavour too next time

I find this Whey powder to be of the highest quality (and best tasting), that I’ve tried so far. It mixes really well, which surprised me a lot considering the previous powder I used took about a minute to, and even then still left clumps at the bottom of my shaker. Having BCAAS in the powder was also something I found perfect for muscle recovery, and it’s efficient in getting those amino acids in without the need to purchase BCAAS on their own. Definitely continuing to get this Whey powder.
