Review: Full spectrum of amino acids, but very large in size. - These have the full spectrum of amino acids. They are very large, and some may have to cut in half to swallow.
Review: Great supplement - I recently started using these and they’ve been a great addition to my supplement routine. Each serving provides 2.2 grams of a comprehensive blend of 18 different amino acids, which is fantastic for supporting muscle recovery and overall performance. The tablets are quite large and may be confusing that they are taken a different way but you do take them by mouth, but taking them with plenty of water helps. One of the things I appreciate most is the inclusion of both essential and non-essential amino acids, which ensures a well-rounded intake. The tablets are also free-form, meaning they are quickly absorbed by the body, making them effective for post-workout recovery. While the size of the tablets might be a drawback for some, the benefits they offer in terms of muscle support and recovery make them worth it. Overall, I highly recommend the Optimum Nutrition Superior Amino 2222 Tablets for anyone looking to enhance their amino acid intake and support their fitness goals.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the exact dosage added of l-carnitine in these supplements?  i want the amount of the carnitine, not the weight of the complete pill**
A: Haven't got that tech,with the carnitine not that important, I drink the way with a scoop or two of creatine along with the 2222 amino acids I got from amazon, cheaper go work out

**Q: does it contain all essential amino acids**
A: This product contains the following:Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)    Tryptophan: 40 mg    Valine: 130 mg    Threonine: 109 mg    Isoleucine: 130 mg    Leucine: 240 mg    Lysine: 159 mg    Phenylalanine: 89 mg    Methionine: 40 mgConditionally Essential Amino Acids (CAAs)    Arginine: 120 mg    Cystine: 30 mg    Tyrosine: 70 mg    Histidine: 40 mg    Proline: 130 mg    Glutamic Acid / Glutamine: 388 mgNonessential Amino Acids (NAAs)    Aspartic Acid: 239 mg    Serine: 100 mg    Glycine: 69 mg    Alanine: 99 mg

**Q: Is there an advantage of taking these supplements over the Gold Standard Whey for pre and post workout?**
A: If your blood type is blood type A, your body doesn't make a lot of stomach acid; meaning you're not able to synthesize a lot of amino acid out of proteins.People with this blood type can eat as much chicken and broccoli, or Whey protein they want, they can only absorb a tiny bit of protein/amino acid each meal.B, AB, and O blood types can much easier synthesize amino acid from proteins.Amino Acid is the raw building block where your body makes proteins from (and muscles are made with). The body takes in proteins, and digests it into amino acids. The amino acids enter the bloodstream and are the building blocks of the muscles.Proteins also enter the bloodstream, and they can be either utilized to build muscle, or burned as fuel.If you notice you're not generating much muscle tissue, and you're already stacking on proteins, and you start noticing protein farts (gas buildup from eating too much protein), you should add Amino acids to your diet.A-blood type people should take small amounts of protein, and large amounts of amino acids, while other blood types can do with larger amounts of protein, and only stack the more expensive amino acid when they notice their body telling them they're at the limit of their amino acid synthesis.

**Q: Is it for men and women ?**
A: Hi Shorouk Abdelsamie, yes a man  or a women may take these. I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Gerard

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chew them and embrace the gains!
*by S***G on March 21, 2026*

Great supplement, old school. Great amino acid profile with BCAAs and EAAs combined. I actually do what old school lifters would do with these and just chew them. They have a pleasant, whey protein-like flavor. SO, if you have trouble swallowing them, just do what lifters have done forever, and chew them. This is the whey.
