Product details
Where this label sits
Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy + Electrolytes is one of the amino formulas in the Scoop Sense database. The label uses at least one proprietary blend, so a blend total stands in place of the individual amounts inside it. It runs 7 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Amino blend · 5 g. Proprietary mix including taurine, glutamine, arginine, leucine, beta-alanine, and citrulline; individual amounts aren't broken out.
- Caffeine (green tea and green coffee extract) · 100 mg. Natural-source caffeine studied for supporting alertness during training.
- Electrolyte blend (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium oxide) · 440 mg. Minerals lost through sweat, added to support hydration.
Flavors & sweetener
Strawberry Burst and Tangerine Wave stick packs, sugar-free and aspartame-free.
Who it's best for
A BCAA-only formula — three of the nine essential amino acids, which suits taste-driven intra-workout sipping more than protein replacement. The added caffeine makes it double as a light pre-workout — count it toward your daily total. Skip it if you want every individual dose disclosed on the label. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.

Performance studies most often use 3–6 mg per kg of body weight, which works out to roughly 200–400 mg for most adults. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults.
Source: Guest et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2021 — “Caffeine has consistently been shown to improve exercise performance when consumed in doses of 3–6 mg/kg body mass.”
One or more amounts on this label sit inside a proprietary blend, so the individual doses behind the blend total cannot be compared at all.
Common questions about Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy + Electrolytes
How much caffeine is in Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy + Electrolytes?
100 mg per full labeled serving — roughly 1.1 small cups of coffee. The FDA cites about 400 mg per day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults, and coffee, tea, and energy drinks count toward the same total.
Is Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy + Electrolytes an EAA or a BCAA product?
BCAA-only: it supplies the three branched-chain aminos but not the other six essential amino acids that full-EAA formulas include.
What does the proprietary blend in Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy + Electrolytes hide?
The Amino blend lists 5 g as a combined total. A blend total tells you the sum of its ingredients, not the individual doses inside it — which is why blend entries can't be checked against studied amounts.
