Ross is right. You have to look at the ingredient list. They are trying to fool you by listing out the average amino yield..all of which come from the protein powder that they simply stuck in a pill.

If you are going to buy amino acids in pill form, which I think is a waste of money (bulk powder would be better anyway) you need to look for the words "free form". And maybe "peptide bonded". You will see a list of aminos and the amounts (and it will probably be very accurate amounst compared to the ESTIMATES you are getting on these other products. Then after that listing you should pretty much only see "Other Ingredients". Even then you have to be careful becasue another stategy is to list the protein Source at the top of the list and then the aminos yielded from that. So you might see something like Lactalbumin Hydrolysate, for instance, a protein fraction, which is just a fancier version of the same thing from above.

Let me be clear here. When people buy "amino acid" supplements it is my understanding that they BELIEVE they are getting free form crystalline amino acids. Anybody disagree with me here? In other words not bound to other aminos. Maybe sometime "peptide bonded" proteins because some believed they are absorbed quicker or whatever. But people do not think they are just getting some whole proteins that have been microfilterd and perhaps "predigested" to be broken down into smaller clumps, but really you are getting aminos bound to others, etc. Because if you are paying these kind of prices for that then your REALLY should just get a microfilterd whey or something or a hydrosolate, etc...in bulk powder.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
