About Core Aminos

Core Aminos combines all nine essential amino acids with a clinical dose of HMB to support muscle health, strength, and resilience as your body’s needs change because of age, diet, or activity level.

• Supports muscle retention, recovery, strength, and endurance
• Promotes healthy cellular, nerve, and cognitive function
• Supports normal collagen and elastin production

Advanced cellular nutrition: HMB

Standing apart from common amino acid supplements, Core Aminos incorporates all nine EAAs and a clinically significant dose of HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate), a muscle health powerhouse and metabolite of the amino acid leucine. 

Together, this formula delivers powerful muscle support that starts in the cells.

• Supports protein synthesis in the body to support muscle retention
• Supports lean muscle mass and helps reduce muscle breakdown
• Delivers the full spectrum of EAAs your body can’t make on its own
