The Surprising Truth About Aging and Muscle Loss

Smiling woman jogging outdoors during sunset, wearing athletic clothing.

In the next few minutes, you’ll see how understanding one simple piece of the protein puzzle can unlock youthful metabolism, stronger muscles, and energized mornings…

…All without giving up the foods you love, without extra exercise, and without coffee.
Keep reading; the answer is simpler… and smaller… than you could imagine.

It all starts with protein and one hard truth:

As we get older, our bodies stop responding to protein the same way it did when we were in our 20s.

Person in a kitchen with the text

More specifically, studies show that our bodies begin needing more and more of very specific, tiny nutrients found in protein, in order to keep repairing, rebuilding, and revitalizing.

And with each passing year, our need for them only goes up while our body’s ability to utilize them goes down.

But there’s only so much protein we can eat.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health found that just a tiny dose—just a few grams—of these nutrients sparks the same muscle‑building response as a heaping 20‑gram protein shake in women over 60.

In another study out of the University of Texas Medical Branch, it was shown that consuming these nutrients led to improvements in lean body mass, strength, and physical function, all WITHOUT changes to exercise.

And if you’re trying to slim down, pay extra attention.

According to a US Military study, when you cut calories by 30%, your body’s demand for these nutrients only further increases—by a whopping 300%! And if you miss it, your body goes into net muscle loss.

This deficit explains why diets often stall and strength disappears. You’re not replacing what’s missing.

Once I began feeding my body adequate amounts of these precise nutrients, instead of drowning it in generic protein, the weight eased off, energy returned, the good mornings started to far outnumber the bad. I even started to notice my arms toning up a bit.

How do you get enough of these nutrients without tripling your protein intake?

I’m going to tell you exactly how. If you feel stuck, if dieting, complicated meal plans, and contradictory advice have left you frustrated—stay with me.

Woman in green sweater standing in kitchen, labeled as health journalist Liz Plosser.

I spent twenty years working at some of the world’s most influential health and wellness companies for women, including SELF Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Well + Good, Soul Cycle, and finally Women’s Health, where I served as Editor‑in‑Chief for 7 years.

But I didn’t start there. After graduating from Princeton, I worked as an investment banking analyst… but not for long…

I’d always been fascinated by how training, nutrition, and recovery influenced my performance on soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, and in LIFE.

So after a couple of years on Wall Street, I quit my job and dove head first into my TRUE passion—health and fitness and bringing real, practical information to real people.

At Women’s Health, it was my job to test every shiny new diet and workout so our readers didn’t have to.

I interviewed hundreds of PhDs, coaches, and celebrity trainers, and even helped launch our digital fitness platforms.

I was in my element, and I loved every minute of it.

Yet still, at 43, I woke up one morning and realized the experts’ playbook had stopped working for me.

“When did mornings start out with me stretching and wrestling the stiffness out of every part of my body?”

“When did the Liz I see in the mirror start reflecting a version of me I barely recognized?”

“And when did words like “bone density” and “muscle-loss” start creeping into my vocabulary?”

Luckily, it wasn’t long before I finally had an answer.

This wasn’t a personal failure, it wasn’t my FAULT—it was biology.

Beginning in our 30s, most adults lose up to 8% of their muscle each decade, and the pace only accelerates each year after that.

I don’t know about you, but I was pretty alarmed when I heard that. Up to 8% every decade after 30? That’s so young! And it just gets worse the older you get.  

Even more alarming than learning about this was living it.

I’ve witnessed firsthand how less muscle equates to slower metabolism, decreased muscle tone, weaker bones

Person in a kitchen promoting muscle rebuilding and metabolism enhancement.

—basically a body that feels older than the calendar says.

But that all changed when I made a tiny daily shift that sent my energy soaring and nudged my muscle and bone density numbers upward at my next visit to the doctor.

Friends thought I’d hired a trainer. Nope—I’d simply fed my body something it had been quietly begging for.

In just a moment, I’ll share how I did all this and how, in just two minutes a day, you can rebuild youthful muscle and reignite your metabolism without punishing workouts or giving up your favorite foods.

But first, you need to understand why the usual advice hasn’t worked.

Here’s why eating more protein and exercising more have stopped working.

I’ve always loved the saying, “Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.”

But a lot of the time, it doesn’t feel like such a privilege, does it?

I think you’ll take some comfort in finally understanding why this is and why all of your hard work hasn’t been paying off.

You see, as we grow older, our digestion slows, and our bodies simply become less responsive to the protein we eat.

You need more protein (and more of those key nutrients in protein) to get the same results you used to. So what are you supposed to do?

Eat more?

You could double your chicken intake and still fall short—more calories, more bloat, all without delivering results.

Meanwhile, you become ever-aware of how muscle loss raises your risk of falls, fractures, and dependence on others for basic tasks.

Keep reading, and I’ll teach you exactly how even older women gained an average of 2.4 pounds of muscle in just 3 months WITHOUT any more exercise than they were already doing.

I spent years thinking I could out‑walk, out‑exercise, or out‑protein this decline.

The truth?

None of those strategies can out-maneuver biology. But one surprisingly simple change can.

I still vividly remember the day everything clicked.

I was sitting at my desk at Women’s Health when I was approached to do a piece about a set of nutrients that, quite frankly, touted so many benefits that I was skeptical of them right off the bat.

I have science-backed, evidence-based DNA, so you better believe I did my homework before I went any further with these “wonder nutrients” that could solve all of my problems.

Some searching on PubMed, the premier database of scientific research studies, revealed that these nutrients were actually some of the most studied out there.

Ok, by now I was feeling a bit mortified that this wasn’t already on my radar. How could I have missed this?

I began listening to podcasts on the subject, hosted by doctors and scientists and PhDs I trust. And this gave me even more peace of mind that this wasn’t just a hollow wellness hype, but a legitimate, science-backed solution that has real, tangible body benefits.

So, I agreed to do the piece, and just a few days later.

Person discussing nutrient needs and usage in a kitchen setting.

I received my first shipment to try it out for myself—it was nothing extreme, nothing expensive—and just 2 months later:

I was feeling stronger than I’d felt in a long time.

I began skipping the escalator and taking the stairs instead.

I was less sore in the mornings, from workouts and just life in general.

And, best of all, I could enjoy pasta nights with family again—without being so stressed about eating enough protein that I had to ruin my husband's gourmet meal by adding tuna.

…Or worse, watching the scale punish me the next morning.

I was hooked. I knew it was working. I saw the results firsthand, but I wanted to understand why, and how.

So I dove more into the research, I reached out to experts in the field of protein and muscle—and this all eventually led me to the opportunity to talk directly with you today.

The opportunity to teach you how you can fuel strong, capable muscles—no matter your age or athletic ability.

Keep reading to discover the best food source of these nutrients that’s easily accessible to anyone—as well as how to unlock them from common, everyday foods you can find at your local supermarket.

And no, I’m not talking about superfoods or expensive exotic juices. In fact, they’re not the usual suspects at all.

Used the right way, each of these foods taps the same biological switch I stumbled upon—yet almost nobody is using them properly to get maximum protein benefits.

Stay with me, because in the next few minutes I’ll walk you through the silent reason your body stops responding to exercise and protein after a certain age.

And later I’ll share with you one of the best foods that can overcome digestive slow‑downs to feed your muscles directly.

I promise you, by the end of this post, you’ll know exactly what to do—and why it works—so you can wake up each morning with a body that feels ready, capable, and unmistakably alive.

I’m now going to walk you through a 3-minute crash-course on why your body stopped responding to protein.

Everyone could benefit from knowing this information, and once you do, you’ll be more empowered than ever to make positive changes for yourself.

Every diet that works—whether it’s Mediterranean, Atkins, or good old calorie‑counting—quietly tilts your plate toward protein.

That’s because hidden inside every forkful of chicken or spoonful of yogurt are those little-known nutrients I mentioned earlier, the tiny “spark plug” that tells your cells to build and repair muscle.

When that spark is strong, your body switches from “breakdown,” into “building.” And not just your muscles.

This spark flips on the building switch in your hair, skin, nails, and vital organs too.

Starting in our 30s though, our bodies start becoming less and less responsive to protein—a slowdown scientists call anabolic resistance. Remember this term for later.

Essentially, every decade after around age 30, your body requires more of these nutrients in your bloodstream to get your body to react and spark muscle protein synthesis.

You keep eating protein, but the spark fades over time until the switch rarely ever turns on.

Picture your body, your entire life, as a beautiful garden.

But lately, your petals seem to be wilting. You’re watering them as much as you always have, maybe even a little more, but something’s missing.  

You’ve figured it out! The soil’s become depleted. Too much water, and not enough fertilizer.

That’s what these nutrients are for your body, the fertilizer that gets lost throughout the years.

You can water until the well runs dry, you can double, or even triple the amount of protein you eat—but without the fertilizer, without getting enough of those key nutrients, you’re going to continue to wilt and wither away.

By your 60s, that same chicken breast just doesn’t give your body the same muscle-building signal it did when you were 25.

Person in a kitchen discussing nutrients and protein shakes.

“Just eat more protein,” the advice everyone likes to throw around, simply piles on calories without fixing the shortfall.

In one study conducted on women over 60, researchers compared protein powders to an ultra‑concentrated form of THESE nutrients, and the results were astounding: Just 3 grams of the concentrated form of these nutrients matched the muscle impact of 20 grams of whey protein.

That’s 6x the impact!

The effects of these nutrients were even more pronounced when compared to whole food protein. Just 15 g of these nutrients generate a 3-fold or greater increase on plasma concentrations compared to 70 grams of beef protein. On a per gram basis, that's 14x the impact!

You don’t need more food; you need more of these nutrients, and I’m going to show you how to get them.

Hearing that you don’t need more food, more protein is probably a relief, right? Especially for anyone looking to shed a few pounds.

If that’s you, all the more reason to focus on these nutrients.

Other studies have shown that when you cut calories without increasing this nutrient, your body raids your muscle for fuel. 

In fact, in order to not put yourself into net muscle loss, you need 3 times the amount of these nutrients when you’re in a calorie deficit.

Who wants to eat 3x the protein they're currently eating? Certainly not me.

Keep reading to learn how to cover that gap, so you can burn fat while keeping the lean tissue that drives your metabolism up—without increasing your protein intake.

Smiling woman with text

Unlock that, and every workout, every meal, even every good night’s sleep starts counting again.

But before we get to that, here’s why the “usual fixes” have been letting you down your entire life.

  • You’ve been told to walk 10,000 steps every day, so even though there’s a spot right out front of the grocery store, you park a little further away from the entrance—and your smartwatch still tells you that you’re not moving enough.
  • You replace lunch with a chalky protein shake and snack on carrots and almonds—only to feel bloated and unsatisfied throughout the afternoon.
  • You subscribe to one of those meal kits you saw a commercial for on the news, but after the first delivery, the price skyrockets.
  • You try following some home workout videos your friends told you about, but you wonder how long until you start seeing results, and your shoulders protest for days.

Six months on, your kids or grandkids feel heavier, the stairs feel steeper, and your pants tighter.

Is this just aging?

Maybe for most people. But it doesn’t have to be for you.

Here are the hidden flaws in the tired old advice you’ve been given:

  1. Exercise is important, but muscle can’t rebuild if you’re not getting enough of these “fertilizer” nutrients buried in your protein. Remember, every decade after your 20s, you need more and more of it to rebuild, so workouts leave you sore instead of strong.
  2. Strict diets can work, but at the price of losing muscle that becomes harder to regain as you age.
  3. Cut your calories, and your need for these nutrients skyrockets. Don’t get enough of them, and your body raids its own muscle for fuel, leaving you lighter but weaker.
  4. And then there are the coaches and gimmicky gadgets that ignore biology. A trainer can perfect your form, but without enough of these key nutrients, every rep is “busy work,” and you won't get the strength and muscle building benefits you deserve. Throwing your hard-earned money at a trainer is like replacing the lightbulbs when the electric wiring in your house is frayed—the lights are still gonna go out.

At the core of all of these problems is anabolic resistance, the age-related drop in your muscles’ ability to turn these nutrients into new protein.

Driven by age, physical inactivity, inflammation, insulin resistance, and impaired mTOR‐pathway activation, trying to combat anabolic resistance might seem like an uphill battle, but lucky for you, there is a solution.

And it’s not more protein, extra steps, or more time in the gym…

One study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health showed these nutrients to be responsible for significantly improving distance walked, grip strength, and leg strength more than whey protein.

And this wasn’t just a one-off. A review of several similar studies looked at 241 individuals and found nearly identical results when it came to improvements in walking distance.

Another study out of Tokyo showed that daily intake of just 3 g of these nutrients, twice per day, significantly improved walking speed.

The relationship between walking speed and longevity has been all over the news lately, if you haven’t noticed.

Remember, “watering your garden” isn’t a substitute for fertilizer.

The stakes are real: muscle loss begins in your 30s and accelerates each decade, making you feel older and weaker than you are, and inevitably raising your risk of falls and increasing your dependence on others as you continue to age.

By your 60s, the same chicken breast delivers far less of the muscle‑building signal it once did, forcing you to eat more for diminishing returns.

Add up meal kits, gym memberships, gadgets, and apps, you could spend hundreds of dollars a month only chasing results—money that could fund a family vacation. Worse, every stalled effort chips away at confidence until movement just feels pointless.

What finally works isn’t MORE effort; it’s SMARTER effort—restoring the protein signal first, then letting gentle walks, favorite foods, and a little bit of strength training do what they were meant to do.

Soon, I’ll show you the simple, evidence‑based way to access these missing nutrients—no marathon workouts or cardboard meals required—so every healthy choice you make finally starts paying dividends.

Let’s pause for a moment and put all of this in plain, everyday terms.

You no longer have to dream of the day when the scale, the mirror, and your body are all in harmony.

Waking up feeling refreshed, strong, and energized—ready and eager to live your life is possible TODAY.  

But it lives or dies on one small detail in your diet: tiny, little-known nutrients buried inside protein—the fertilizer your garden has been yearning for.

When you were in your 20s, your body’s response to these nutrients from the protein was on point—keeping your body humming, thriving.

But that pesky anabolic resistance shows up earlier than you’d think—and you finally have an answer for why you can switch to turkey wraps, skip dessert, and even start lifting weights for the first time in your life—yet still feel softer, sleepier, and a little heavier every year.

The breakthrough is learning that you don’t need more food—you need to flip the switch on anabolic resistance.

These nutrients are so powerful, that even NASA became interested in what it could do for astronauts in space, for whom muscle loss in zero gravity is a grave concern. The results were out of this world, as it showed that even on 28 days of bed rest, consuming these nutrients preserved muscle mass. I’m going to repeat that. After 28 days of complete bed rest, participants lost zero muscle.

I know this sounds too good to be true, and even more unbelievable is that these same nutrients trusted by NASA are now available to you.

In less than two minutes a day, with zero exercise required, you can flip the switch on anabolic resistance and reclaim your youth.

So what are these “nutrients,” and what’s that food I told you about earlier that contains the highest concentration of them?

Stick with me, because the next section reveals the secret ingredient, where to find them, and the simplest way to put them to work for you today.

Let me tell you the moment everything changed for me.

I was drowning in “eat more protein” advice, but my progress was at a standstill—until I stumbled upon the science behind these little known nutrients that this entire video is based on, a set of nine amino acids, so important, they’re classified as essential.

Essential amino acids

Text overlay of

They are the building blocks of protein, and your body can’t make them on its own—so you have to get them from your diet, or you will go into net muscle breakdown.

They act like little on-switches for muscle repair, hair, skin, and nail growth; they even support energy and hormone production.

Yes, these 9 essential amino acids are the “nutrients” our bodies begin yearning for more of as we age, no matter how much chicken or yogurt we eat.

The very day I began prioritizing essential amino acids…

I understood why strict diets, even if they were high-protein, weren’t cutting it.

…Why exercise left me only more tired and weak, instead of invigorated and strong like it used to.

One of the most robust reviews of these essential amino acids comes from a large position paper from the International Society of Sports Nutrition, or the ISSN.

If you aren’t familiar with the ISSN, they are the AUTHORITY on unbiased, science-backed nutrition information.

Their team sifted through nearly 130 clinical studies and concluded that essential amino acids—far more than collagen—rank among the very few supplements with consistent, measurable benefits like stronger muscles, faster recovery, and better day‑to‑day function.

To get specific, the ISSN found that just 15 g of essential amino acids generated a 3-fold or greater increase on plasma concentrations compared to 70 grams of beef protein as part of a complete meal. On a per gram basis, that's 14x the impact!

Another study out of the University of Texas Medical Branch by the National Institute on Aging had some pretty remarkable findings for seniors.

Older women gained over 2 pounds of muscle on average in three months from taking essential amino acids without additional exercise.

This is why I’m not only taking essential amino acids every day, but also have my parents taking them.

The evidence kept stacking up that essential amino acids become even more essential every year after we turn 30:

During any diet or illness that reduces total caloric intake, the body’s demand for them soars.

Don’t get enough, and you can lose muscle—making a small, concentrated serving a literal lifeline for preserving strength.

Person in a kitchen discussing food benefits with checkmarks and text.

Because essential amino acids are delivered in free form, and already broken down with no digestion from your body needed, they reach your bloodstream in minutes, with none of the bloating, heaviness, or digestion time of a full meal, a huge bonus if you’re on the go or if large meals leave you queasy.

Essential Amino Acids become 6x more effective than protein powder by the time we hit our golden years.

Person in a kitchen promoting a product's effectiveness, wearing a green shirt.

But it’s not just any essential amino acid blend that works this powerfully. Later, I’ll show you one small detail to watch out for so you too can see amazing results.

In short, essential amino acids are the missing “fertilizer” our bodies are starving for.

Give your body access to the amount of these nutrients it needs, and suddenly: muscle firms, energy lifts, and everyday movements feel stable instead of shaky.

So if chicken breasts, step counters, and expensive meal kits have left you disappointed, I’m here to assure you that you no longer have to lose hope.

In the next few minutes, I’ll show you the simplest, most reliable way to get these nutrients into your body again, in an ideal formula that works in harmony with your body and helps bypass the effects of aging—no chalky shakes, no excessive protein, and no expensive meal plans required. Stick with me, because this is where everything finally clicks.

I know that was a lot. I’m going to slow down now and give you a brief science lesson on what essential amino acids are and why they matter so much as we get older.

This will only take a minute, but stick around, because it’s really important for you to understand that this isn’t some gimmick or empty promise. This is decades of science and research turned into a practical, effective way for your body to overcome anabolic resistance.

I bet you didn’t know that more than half of every solid pound you carry—that’s everything in your body but water—is made up of proteins.

Your muscles, organs, skin, hair, even the enzymes that digest your breakfast are all made up of proteins.

Silhouette of a person with text:

Look at it this way. If your body were a house—the foundation, the frame, the bricks would all be made up of proteins.

And it’s a renovation project that never ends.

This is because proteins don't last forever.

Every protein in your body, whether it makes up your muscle, your skin, or your vital organs, gets old, degrades, and then it breaks down.

And when it breaks down, it breaks apart into little amino acids.

Some of these amino acids can be reused to build new protein, but some are like those parts of the house that are beyond repair, and those your body tosses away.

This is why you eat protein. 

When you consume a chicken breast, you digest the protein. The amino acids from the chicken get released into your blood, and then they go and they work with those other previous amino acids to rebuild muscles, to rebuild tissues, hair, skin, and nails, organs, even hormones.

Where essential amino acids come in.

Cooked steak with a percentage graphic and roasted potatoes on a plate.

Essential amino acids are the actual workers that come in and rip up the old carpet and install the new carpet, they play a very distinct role that is completely different from non-essential amino acids—and you must get a constant supply of them in your diet.

If you don’t, repair work halts. Imagine you have all the lumber, but the crew doesn’t show up for work.

And as you get older, just as an older home may need more workers to make necessary repairs, you need more of these essential amino acids for your body to make the same repairs.

This is that pesky “anabolic resistance” we talked about earlier.

You swallow the same chicken breast you enjoyed in your 20s, but nowadays, only half the workers are clocking in.

Sure, you can eat more, order more bricks and 2 by 4s—but without enough workers, the renovations stall.

Take a look at this, I think it’ll blow your mind: A six‑ounce serving of steak is mostly water and other less important amino acids called non‑essential amino acids. Only a small fraction of it—about 13%—contains the 9 essential amino acids—the “workers.”

Person in a kitchen wearing a green shirt, with plants and kitchen tools around.

By contrast, free-form essential amino acids are a highly qualified team of eager, able-bodied workers, ready to fix your house and turn it back into the home that used to make you feel proud and safe.

In studies reviewed by the International Society of Sports Nutrition, free‑form essential amino acids stimulated muscle repair more effectively than whey shakes and FAR MORE than ordinary meals, ESPECIALLY in older adults.

University of Nottingham Medical School researchers further proved the point: In women in their 60s, 3 grams of essential amino acids lit up muscle‑protein synthesis as powerfully as 20 grams of whey protein—that’s over 6 times the impact, gram for gram.

But remember, it’s not just any formula that gets you these amazing results.

Let’s explore what happens when you’ve got “plenty of supplies, but not enough workers.”

Meaning, you eat plenty of protein, but aren't prioritizing essential amino acids.

Your muscles lose firmness; balance feels shaky.

Your skin and hair turn dull because collagen renewal slows.

And your energy dips, since even your liver and heart rely on fresh protein to work efficiently.

Your doctor will dismiss all of this as a consequence of “normal aging.”

But, as I promised earlier, there is a way around this.

There is one food I’m about to reveal that is surprisingly high in these essential amino acids.

And there are small changes you can make to enable more of them to be absorbed with every bite. And there’s something that works better than both of these combined.

What if I told you there’s a way to get these nutrients, these “workers” or “fertilizer,” in a concentrated, already broken down form, so that every last one of them is utilized by your body like they were in your 20s, so they get to work to start rebuilding in minutes, not hours.2

I bet you would be interested, just like I was.

And if I told you that the amount of these nutrients you actually need when they’re already broken down is shockingly small, that just a teaspoon‑sized dose can bring blood levels to the sweet spot where construction roars back to life, I bet you’d be the first in line to try them.

Hopefully everything is clicking by now. You’re beginning to see why dieting, exercising, and eating more protein never changed your shape, and why strict calorie cuts left you weaker.

The missing piece isn’t more water for your garden or truckloads of building supplies.

It isn’t about needing more protein, more motivation, or more willpower.

It’s simply understanding how your body works now and making one small change to accommodate that.

Stick around, because this is where the real transformation begins.

Kion Aminos is the single most important change I’ve made as a woman entering the second half of my life.

Four tubs of Kion aminos with colorful designs and motivational text above.

Kion Aminos turns the science we’ve just talked about into real results and everyday strength I can actually feel.

You already know why the idea of essential amino acids matters; let me share why THIS PARTICULAR formula works better than everything else I’ve tried.

When the Kion team formulated Aminos, they started with the precise proportions of essential amino acids found in our own bodies.

While other companies fill their products with exotic ingredients whose only purpose is to boost their marketing appeal, Kion stuck to the basics— the exact amino‑acid blueprint of human skeletal muscle, which seemed like a no-brainer, because that’s the tissue we’re rebuilding after all.

Text on a tablet reads

Kion uses only the best, most comprehensive science in order to fine-tune the formula like a piano—ensuring every note rings clear and effective.

Let’s start with leucine. If your muscles had a favorite nutrient, this would be the one. Leucine is the key that “unlocks” muscle building in your body. 

And as we get older—especially after age 30 when anabolic resistance sets in—we need more of it to get the same effect.

In fact, remember that small, but powerful, detail I mentioned earlier? The one in that study about essential amino acids having 6x the impact as whey protein in women over 60?

Well, the researchers didn’t use your run of the mill formula in that study, it was leucine-enriched essential amino acids that showed these astonishing results.

And this wasn’t the only study that showed the importance of extra leucine.

Another study published in the American Journal of Physiology: Endocrinology and Metabolism showed that this higher dose of leucine can boost the muscle-building signal by almost 50% as we get older.

So to make sure the formula matched the research, Kion Aminos includes extra leucine—about 50% more than what you’d get from a serving of whey protein.

…and who knows how much more than what’s in those other “mystery” formulas.

But that’s not all. When you increase leucine, you also need to increase two of its “partner” amino acids: isoleucine and valine. These three work best as a team—and if one of them falls behind, the whole system slows down.

Extra isoleucine helps steady your energy levels, which, I don’t have to tell you, is especially important during long days and exercise.

Valine keeps everything moving smoothly into your muscles, preventing a backup so leucine can do its job: activating muscle growth, endurance, and recovery.

And finally, there’s lysine. It gets into muscle more slowly than the others, so Kion boosted that too—to make sure nothing holds your body back from rebuilding strong, healthy muscle.

Other blends are not this meticulous in ensuring each and every amino acid is going to work as hard as possible for you. This is why most other companies out there hide behind “proprietary formulas,” meaning they don’t tell you exactly how much of each amino acid is in the bottle.

And if they’re not telling you what’s in it, you can almost guarantee they’re not going to contain that extra leucine you need to see maximum benefits.

Even worse, some blends don’t even contain all of the essential amino acids you need!

Kion Aminos is everything you need.

A hand pointing at a container labeled with dietary restrictions.

All 9 essential amino acids —isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, histidine, tryptophan—and that extra leucine your body needs—in precise, research-backed ratios, extracted from pure, non‑GMO plants.

And it has:

✅ no sugar,

✅ no dairy,

✅ no gluten,

✅ nothing your gut has to wrestle with…

And it’s delicious.

One small scoop a day gives you 5 grams of pure leucine-enriched essential amino acids, the dose that university studies equate to about 30 grams of whey—but without the heaviness, the lactose, or the bloating.

You will not overcome anabolic resistance without a formula that is leucine-enriched.

Kion Aminos is the only non-proprietary blend on the market that is leucine-enriched and has these precise ratios.

Every batch is made in a clean, NSF‑certified, cGMP facility here in the United States, then third‑party tested for heavy metals, microbes, and identity.

Identity is just a fancy way of saying “what you get in your tub of Aminos matches what’s on the label.”

Other brands that aren’t as rigorous with testing might end up putting their “watered-down” versions on the shelf.

Most people start exactly where I did: 1 scoop with breakfast to flip on repair after the night‑long fast.

One scoop is plenty, but it’s completely safe, and even more beneficial to add a second, or even third scoop during the day:

When you need an extra boost

Want to shut down food cravings

Or if you’re eating a meal without any protein.

And just like that, One daily serving of Kion Aminos and you've increased all the benefits you want to get from protein. Supercharged your day. You are building lean muscle, and supporting healthy metabolism and fat loss.

Person drinking from a transparent water bottle in a natural setting.

Picture yourself 60 days from now: You step out of bed and feel solid and strong. You glide up the stairs, feeling springier than you can remember. A quick glance in the mirror makes you light up inside. You feel fit, and proud of your progress.

At your next check-up, your doctor glances at your chart, smiles, and says, “Your numbers are all great for your age.”

It starts with something simple: a scoop of Kion Aminos in a glass of water. Easy to take, quick to feel—and it sets the tone for your entire day, and really, the rest of your life.

In a moment, I’ll show you how to get your first tub, choose your flavor, and try it risk‑free.

But right now, remember this: the difference between feeling older and feeling powerful can be as small—and as precise—as 1 scoop every morning.

Now, if you’re like most people at this point, you’re leaning forward a little and asking, “Okay, Liz, how do I start?”

I’m going to make this as simple as I possibly can, because I wouldn’t want you to walk away and forget the very thing that could change the next decade of your life.

First, the nuts and bolts. One tub of Kion Aminos gives you 30 scoops—enough for a full month if you follow the one‑scoop‑a‑day ritual.

But with a 60-day money-back guarantee, why not try Kion Aminos for a full 60 days to see the best possible results?

And maybe you want to get a tub for your spouse, your parents, or maybe you want to add in an extra scoop per day every now and then for yourself to see even better results.

If this is the case, we have a special offer on multiple tubs available only to you as a thank you for watching this presentation.

The inventory set aside for this presentation is all that is available right now, and based on past launches, it will be gone well before the next batch is ready.

If the order button below this video disappears, that means we’ve hit zero and you’ll have to wait for restock.

I know scarcity talk can sound gimmicky, so let me give you some practical solutions you can put into place before you even order.

As promised, here is that essential amino acid-rich food and that tip I mentioned at the start of the video—something you can start using today.

The number one food you could eat, the thing that’s going to get more essential amino acids into your system quickly and efficiently so they can get to work, is a single scoop of whey protein isolate. Isolate is important because other forms of protein powder aren’t as effective and can leave you feeling that bloat we talked about earlier.

When studies compared whey protein to other conventional forms of protein like steak or chicken, whey came out on top—but still didn’t beat out leucine-enriched essential amino acids.

And that tip you’ve been waiting for…

The next best thing that’s going to get essential amino acids into your system as quickly as possible is a palm‑sized portion of your favorite animal protein—no sides is the key.

Whether that’s a juicy steak on its own, or a few hard‑boiled eggs eaten alone, forgoing the sides is going to switch on muscle repair far better than the same steak with a side of potatoes or eggs buried in an omelet packed with peppers and cheese.

But even whey protein isolate, or protein on its own doesn’t come close to matching the efficacy of Kion  Aminos.

Kion Aminos is already broken down, and therefore able to get into your system immediately—it’s also more concentrated and in science-backed ratios proven to work better than protein.

Additionally, Kion Aminos has that “extra leucine” trigger and precise formula crafted by matching, and then improving on, the actual amino profile of human muscle.

A flawless formula that’s science-backed, concentrated, and ready to absorb and get to work in minutes.

No whole foods, no protein powders come close to Kion Aminos when it comes to defeating anabolic resistance and building healthy, capable muscle.

So here’s the moment. Click the button under this video to see your special offer. Choose the bundle that fits your goals and lock in your supply before our inventory runs out.

And get ready to open that first tub, adding one scoop into your water in the morning, and knowing you just set your body on a path to gaining more strength, more energy, and more confidence.

And you get to make that same choice every morning for the next 60 days without any risk.

Click the button below now, and get started on this new chapter in your life.

Remember, there’s no commitment today.

Every tub of Kion Aminos comes with a full, 60-day, 100% money‑back guarantee, there’s no risk to your wallet when you order today.

FAQs

“Is Kion Aminos safe to take every day?”

Absolutely. Kion Aminos is the nine essential amino acids already found in foods like fish, eggs, and beans—just extracted from plants and fermented, balanced, and already broken down—ready for your body to absorb. Every batch is third‑party tested for heavy metals and contaminants and produced in an NSF‑certified, cGMP facility. It may seem crazy, but the ISSN says you can safely take up to 20 servings a day.  Most people take a scoop every morning; but you can add a second, or even third scoop when you need an extra boost, or to round out a low-protein meal.

“How many should I order?”

If you’re just curious, 1 tub will give you 30 days to feel the difference. But 2 tubs will allow you to trial Kion Aminos during the full 60-day money-back guarantee window and see maximum benefits. Order 3 if you have a spouse, parent, or friend who would benefit from these amazing amino acids.  

“I don’t like to exercise, do I need to start?”

No! Kion Aminos works even when you're not exercising. Because it is isolated, concentrated essential amino acids, that get to work immediately to naturally boost energy and stimulate muscle protein synthesis, with or without exercise.

“I have a sensitive stomach. Can I take Kion Aminos?”

Kion Aminos was designed to be gentle on your digestive system.. Unlike heavier protein shakes or big meals, these free-form essential amino acids are rapidly absorbed, so they don’t linger in your gut. Again, if you’re dissatisfied, there’s a 60-day, no-hassle, money-back guarantee.

“Can I take it with my current medication?”

It’s always important to check with your doctor, but essential amino acids are nutrients, not drugs, and tolerated well by most. They are natural, and extracted from non-GMO plants.

“When will I start seeing results?”

Most people notice a lift in daily energy within the first week. Strength and balance improvements generally show up between four and six weeks—the time it takes for new muscle protein to accumulate. Body scans and tape‑measure changes typically become obvious around the three‑month mark, which is why taking advantage of the bundle savings today is a great idea.

If your question wasn’t covered, our customer‑service team is a phone call or email away. Otherwise, hit the order button while inventory lasts, and your first tub of Kion Aminos will be on its way today.
