Nutristat Amino Script – EAA + Electrolyte Hydration Drink
Two jobs, one scoop Most people training hard are solving two separate problems with two separate products. They take an amino product to protect muscle and drive protein synthesis, then reach for a hydration packet because they're cramping in hour two. Amino Script does both, and it does them in the same glass because the two problems are mechanically linked — amino acids ride into muscle tissue on sodium-dependent transporters. Under-hydrate and you blunt the delivery of the exact aminos you just paid for. What's inside and why it's there Full-spectrum EAAs with BCAAs Branched-chain aminos alone can't build anything. Leucine flips the mTOR switch that signals muscle protein synthesis, but signaling a construction crew with no lumber on site gets you nothing. Muscle protein needs all nine essential amino acids present to actually assemble. Amino Script leads with BCAAs for the leucine trigger and backs them with the full essential spectrum so the signal has something to build with — which is why an EAA formula outperforms a straight BCAA product for recovery and lean tissue retention, particularly if you train fasted or in a calorie deficit where circulating aminos are already low. 2:1 sodium-to-potassium electrolyte matrix Sweat is not distilled water. Sodium is the dominant electrolyte you lose, at roughly double the rate of potassium, and the ratio here mirrors that loss instead of guessing at it. Sodium governs extracellular fluid volume and plasma; potassium governs the intracellular side. Replace one without the other and you shift fluid to the wrong side of the cell membrane — the reason chugging plain water during a long session can leave you feeling worse, not better. The 2:1 ratio restores both compartments in the proportion training actually depletes them. Taurine Taurine is an osmolyte, meaning it pulls water into the muscle cell and holds it there. That does two useful things: it supports cell volume, which is itself an anabolic signal, and it plays a role in calcium handling inside the muscle fiber — the mechanism behind contraction and relaxation. Cramping is very often a calcium-handling and electrolyte problem, not a "you didn't drink enough" problem. Betaine anhydrous Betaine (trimethylglycine) works two angles. As an osmolyte it defends cell hydration under heat and training stress. As a methyl donor it feeds the methylation pathway that supports the body's own creatine synthesis and helps manage homocysteine. It's one of the few ingredients with a genuine strength-endurance research base rather than a marketing story. CoffeeBerry® coffee fruit extract Not a stimulant play. CoffeeBerry is whole coffee fruit standardized for chlorogenic acids and polyphenols — the compounds that survive in the fruit but get roasted out of the bean. The relevance here is nutrient partitioning and antioxidant support: helping shuttle what you just drank into muscle tissue, and blunting the free-radical load a hard session generates. When to drink it Before training — arrives with aminos already circulating, especially valuable for fasted morning sessions. During training — the intended use. Replaces fluid and electrolytes at the rate you're losing them while keeping amino availability high. After training — bridges the gap if your post-workout meal or protein shake is more than an hour out. All day — sipping between meals keeps a steady amino signal running. Nutristat calls this nutrient "pulsing," and it's the most underrated way to use this product on rest days and during a cut. Who this is actually for Fasted trainers. Anyone in a deficit trying to hold muscle while calories are down. Heavy sweaters and hot-garage lifters. Two-a-day athletes. And anyone currently buying a hydration packet and an amino product separately — this is the same money doing both jobs. Flavors Cherry Lime Slushy, Rainbow Sherbet, Tropical Sunrise, Lemonade, and Cherry Frost. Cherry Lime Slushy and Lemonade are the tart, sessionable ones if you're sipping a jug through the day; Rainbow Sherbet and Tropical Sunrise skew sweeter for intra-workout. What to stack it with Amino Script is the hydration and recovery base layer. Add a whey isolate for whole-food-equivalent protein around training, a pre-workout on heavy days, and a pump formula when you want cell volume without added stimulants. Directions Mix one scoop with 16–24 oz of cold water. Drink before, during, or after training, or sip throughout the day. Increase water volume in heat or during longer sessions.

Amino Script FAQ Is Amino Script a BCAA or an EAA supplement? Both. It leads with branched-chain aminos for the leucine signal and includes the full essential amino acid spectrum so that signal has material to work with. A BCAA-only product gives you the trigger without the building blocks. Does Amino Script contain caffeine? It is not a stimulant product. The CoffeeBerry coffee fruit extract is included for its chlorogenic acid and polyphenol content, not for energy, and contributes only trace caffeine. Check the supplement facts panel for the exact amount. Can I take it on rest days? Yes, and it's arguably where it earns the most. Sipping it between meals keeps amino availability elevated during the window when recovery actually happens — you don't build muscle in the gym, you build it in the 22 hours after. Will it break a fast? Amino acids are calorie-containing and will produce an insulin response, so technically yes for a strict fast. For training-fasted lifters using the fast to manage hunger and calories, it's the standard tool — it protects muscle during the session at a very low calorie cost. How is this different from a regular electrolyte packet? An electrolyte packet solves fluid balance and stops there. Amino Script solves fluid balance and simultaneously supplies the amino acids that drive muscle protein synthesis and prevent breakdown during training. If you're currently buying a hydration packet plus an amino product, this replaces both. Do I need this if I already drink a protein shake? They do different jobs. Whey is a whole-protein feeding for around training and meals. Amino Script is a fast, calorie-light amino and fluid delivery for during training and between meals, where a full shake would sit heavy or blunt appetite.
