Cellucor has confirmed that a reformulated version of its amino competitor Alpha Amino is on the way still promising the same mix of hydration and recovery. To go with the news the brand has also revealed the label behind its updated supplement, featuring a handful of tweaks. The current version of Alpha Amino packs three proprietary blends, all of which have been mildly altered for the reformulated version and have remained as proprietary blends.
We’ll start with Alpha Amino’s main Alpha-BCAA Matrix, now named Instantized BCAA 2:1:1 Blend. Cellucor has kept the blend’s dose at 5g, however replaced its 3x Leucine Matrix, and micronized isoleucine and valine for a more transparent combination of 2.5g of instantized leucine, and 1.25g each of instantized isoleucine and valine.

Next on the list are Alpha Amino’s two other proprietary blends, which do make it a little hard to tell how different they both are. Basically their overall weights have changed, although some of their ingredients have been dropped and moved around, somewhat justifying the changes. Thanks to taurine being moved into it the supplement’s amino blend now has 11 amino acids instead of 10, and weighs in 1.25g heavier than before.
You then have Alpha Amino’s hydration blend, which is quite possibly the part that’s changed the most. The product’s smallest blend now tips the scales at 1.75g mostly thanks to taurine being shifted, however it has also had its HydroMax swapped out for a transparent dose of BetaPower betaine anhydrous, listed at 1.25g per serving.
From what we can see the new Alpha Amino doesn’t appear to be available anywhere just yet. Cellucor has actually already updated the label on its own website, with Bodybuilding.com also already listing the reforulated amino as a new supplement coming soon. When the product does eventually arrive fans will have quite the list of options to choose from with seven 30 serving flavors and four 50 servings.
