Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) | 9 Amino Acid Blend

All nine essential amino acids. One scoop. No need to complicate it. 💪

Meet Spartan Protein Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). A powdered blend containing all nine essential amino acids, including leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, histidine and tryptophan.

Why all nine? Because these are the amino acids your body cannot make in sufficient quantities itself. They need to come from your diet, and EAA powders offer another way to consume them.

Each stated 15g serving contains 5g leucine, alongside the other eight essential amino acids. Mix with water or add to a suitable shake, following the serving instructions on the packaging.

Why Choose Spartan Essential Amino Acids?

• All nine EAAs: The full group of essential amino acids in one formula.
• 5g leucine per stated serving: One of the three branched-chain amino acids.
• Includes all three BCAAs: Leucine, isoleucine and valine are included alongside six other essential amino acids.
• Mixable powder: Designed to combine with water or a suitable drink.
• 15g stated serving: A measured serving with individually declared amino-acid quantities.
• Flexible preparation: An alternative to taking each amino acid separately.

What Are Essential Amino Acids?

Amino acids are the compounds that make up proteins. Your body can produce some amino acids, but nine are classed as essential because you must obtain them through your diet.

Those nine are leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine and histidine.

Many everyday foods provide essential amino acids, including eggs, dairy products, meat, fish, soya and other protein-containing foods. A varied diet can provide all nine without requiring a separate EAA supplement.

Spartan Essential Amino Acids gives you the option of consuming the nine individually listed amino acids in a powdered blend.

EAAs vs BCAAs: What's the Difference?

You'll probably have seen both EAAs and BCAAs on supplement shelves. They're related, but they're not the same thing.

BCAAs are three specific essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine.

EAAs cover all nine essential amino acids, including those three BCAAs.

That means Spartan's EAA blend contains the three BCAAs alongside lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, histidine, methionine and tryptophan.

It's a more comprehensive essential amino-acid profile than a BCAA-only product. Whether you need an additional supplement depends on your overall diet and protein intake.

What's in a 15g Serving?

The current Spartan product information lists the following quantities per stated 15g serving:

Total listed amino acids: 15g per stated serving. Quantities are reproduced from the current product specification and require verification against the approved manufacturer label.

How to Mix Spartan EAAs

The current directions describe mixing one scoop (approximately 15g) with 100–200ml water in a shaker.

1. Check the approved portion size on the product packaging.
2. Measure the stated serving accurately.
3. Add to approximately 100–200ml water, subject to the current directions.
4. Shake thoroughly and consume according to the label instructions.

You can also add the powder to a suitable shake, provided the combination and overall intake are appropriate for you.

Do You Need EAAs If You Already Use Protein Powder?

Not necessarily.

Whey protein and many other dietary protein sources already contain essential amino acids. If you're eating sufficient protein from a varied diet, an additional EAA powder may not be necessary.

EAAs are different from a whey protein shake: an EAA powder supplies individual amino acids, while whey protein supplies intact dietary protein with a wider nutritional profile.

The right choice depends on your food intake, training routine, dietary preferences and whether you actually need another supplement.

Essential Amino Acids FAQs

How many essential amino acids are there?

There are nine: leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, histidine and tryptophan.

Does Spartan EAA powder contain all nine?

Yes. All nine are listed in the stated product formulation.

How much leucine does it contain?

The current specification lists 5g leucine per 15g serving.

What's the difference between EAAs and BCAAs?

BCAAs contain three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. An EAA blend contains all nine essential amino acids.

Can I mix EAAs with water?

Yes. The current directions describe mixing approximately 15g powder with 100–200ml water using a shaker bottle.

Can I add EAAs to a protein shake?

The current product information describes adding the blend to a shake. Check the approved directions and consider your overall amino-acid and protein intake before combining supplements.

Should I take EAAs before or during training?

The existing Spartan directions describe taking a serving before training or splitting it between before and during exercise. Follow the approved product label; no particular timing is guaranteed to produce superior results.

Do I need EAAs on rest days?

Not necessarily. Whether additional amino-acid supplementation is useful depends on your overall dietary intake, not simply whether you're training that day.

Are EAAs suitable for vegetarians?

The current Spartan listing describes the formula as vegetarian-friendly. Check the approved ingredient specification to confirm the source and suitability of every amino acid.

Are EAAs suitable for vegans?

Vegan suitability has not been confirmed from the supplied ingredient specification. Check the manufacturer-approved label before assuming this product is vegan.
