Switch Nutrition Amino Switch - BCAA & EAA Recovery Matrix
This product is unavailable
AMINO SWITCH™ is a highly absorbed Vegan Friendly dairy and lactose free Essential Amino Acid (EAA) supplement.
Unlike most BCAA's AMINO SWITCH™ contains all 9 EAA’s at the Perfect Human Ratio. This ratio is designed to help SWITCH ON workout recovery.
EAA's are absorbed faster than whey protein.
At SWITCH NUTRITION™, we use a specific EAA ratio to maximise Net Nitrogen Utilisation (NNU).
1 serve of AMINO SWITCH™ is equivalent to 30g of WPI but much faster absorbed with no digestion required.

The above information is merely a guide and is in no way a recommendation or a treatment protocol for any health conditions or diseases. You should always consult with a qualified health care provider before changing your supplement, training or nutritional strategy. Supplementation should not be attempted by pregnant or breastfeeding women, anyone on prescription medication or children under the age of 15 unless advised by your qualified health care provider.
CONSUME ONE TO THREE (1-3) SERVINGS OF AMINO SWITCH™ BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER EXERCISE. EACH SERVING OF AMINO SWITCH™ SHOULD BE MIXED IN 500 – 700ML (17 – 23OZ) OF WATER.
IS AMINO SWITCH™ GLUTEN, DAIRY & SOY FREE?
Yes. One of the reasons we developed AMINO SWITCH™ was to provide people with a natural, non-dairy, gluten free Amino Acid Formula that tastes great, is affordable and gets results.
IS AMINO SWITCH™ VEGAN FRIENDLY?
Yes. No animals have been harmed in the making of AMINO SWITCH™.
IS AMINO SWITCH™ KETO FRIENDLY?
Yes. There are ZERO added Sugars in AMINO SWITCH™.
IS AMINO SWITCH™ NATURALLY SWEETENED?
Yes. We use Stevia as a natural sweetener in AMINO SWITCH™.
DOES AMINO SWITCH™ CONTAIN ANY ARTIFICIAL COLOURS?
No. We do not use artificial colours in AMINO SWITCH™.
IS AMINO SWITCH™ AUSTRALIAN MADE?
Yes. AMINO SWITCH™ is made in Australia using the highest quality ingredients from around the globe.
HOW MUCH OF EACH INGREDIENT IS IN AMINO SWITCH™?
AMINO SWITCH™ like ALL other SWITCH NUTRITION products is 100% open label. This means all active ingredients are clearly illustrated on the tub or sachet. No hidden fillers and no proprietary blends. Check the nutritional information panel on the product page.
HOW DO I KNOW AMINO SWITCH™ IS A QUALITY PRODUCT?
AMINO SWITCH™ is formulated based on the leading research available and manufactured in a HACCP and GMP certified facility. In addition to this we independently LAB TEST for impurities and potency. This process guarantees the highest quality product and provides the best results.
WHEN SHOULD I TAKE AMINO SWITCH™?
AMINO SWITCH™ is best taken during or after a workout. Do not exceed more than one (1) serve in a 24 hour period.
CAN I GIVE AMINO SWITCH™ TO MY CHILDREN?
Although AMINO SWITCH™ is natural, always check with your primary care provider before administering any new supplementation to your children.
CAN I USE AMINO SWITCH™ WHILE PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING?
Although AMINO SWITCH™ is natural, always check with your primary care provider before commencing any new supplementation while pregnant or breast feeding.
CAN I USE AMINO SWITCH™ WHILE ON MEDICATION?
Although AMINO SWITCH™ is natural, always check with your primary care provider before commencing any new supplementation.
CAN I USE AMINO SWITCH™ INSTEAD OF PROTEIN?
Yes. Amino Acids are the precursors of protein. So when you eat protein or drink protein shakes your body digests these protein foods into amino acids. AMINO SWITCH contains ALL 9 Essential Amino Acids and is rapidly absorbed. This makes it a perfect alternative to protein shakes or food immediately after training.
IS AMINO SWITCH™ A COMPLETE PROTEIN?
AMINO SWITCH™ contains all 9 essential amino acids found in a complete protein source. However, it contains fewer calories. AMINO SWITCH™ can be used as a low-calorie alternative to protein shakes or protein foods.
WHAT IS NNU & NPU?
NNU (Net Nitrogen Utilization) or NPU (Net Protein Utilization) is the same thing. Nitrogen is used interchangeably with protein. NNU or NPU is the ratio of amino acids absorbed verse the amount of amino acids supplied. In other words, how much protein (amino acids) is consumed verse what is excreted or wasted. AMINO SWITCH™ provides the highest possible NNU of 99% vs Whey at around 16%.
CAN I USE AMINO SWITCH™ DURING TRAINING INSTEAD OF A STRAIGHT BCAA SUPPLEMENT?
Yes. AMINO SWITCH™ contains all three (3) BCAA’s plus the additional six (6) Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s) required by the human body. In fact Tipton et. al., has performed research on both BCAA's and EAA's and his conclusion in a recently published paper (circa 2017) suggests EAA's provide 50% greater results than using BCAA's alone.
WHY HAVE YOU ADDED SCHISANDRA TO AMINO SWITCH™?
Schisandra chinensis is a key ingredient in AMINO SWITCH™. This berry has been used as an adaptogen for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Adaptogens by nature allow our bodies to respond more positively and adapt faster.
WHY HAVE YOU ADDED ELECTROLYTES AND CO-FACTORS TO AMINO SWITCH™?
It is critically important for peak performance that you maintain hydration and correct electrolyte balance. In fact, a 2% drop in water may result in a 20% drop in performance. At SWITCH NUTRITION™ we set out to create the perfect amino supplement. To achieve this, we added a natural balance of highly absorbable electrolytes to maintain hydration of your cells. We also added Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C to help support nutrient utilisation.
CAN I USE ANYTHING ELSE WITH AMINO SWITCH™ FOR BETTER RESULTS?
Yes. If you are attempting a ketogenic diet or restricting calories we suggest using KETO SWITCH™. KETO SWITCH™ is an exogenous (external) BHB ketone supplement that helps support your temporary or long term ketogenic requirements.
THERMAL SWITCH™ or POWER SWITCH™ are great combined with AMINO SWITCH™. Use either of them pre-workout to increase results.
ADRENAL SWITCH™ is the perfect post workout partner for AMINO SWITCH™. With added L-Leucine, L-Glycine, Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs that will help SWITCH ON the nutrient recovery.
