Transparent Labs Intra EAA is a premium, evidence-based intra-workout supplement featuring clinical doses of essential amino acids (EAAs) and synergistic ergogenic ingredients, such as Amino9® and BetaPure™, to ignite muscle protein synthesis (MPS), enhance hydration, and increase nitric oxide production while you're pushing your limits in the gym.
Unlike many intra-workout supplements, this formula provides a precise ratio of all nine EAAs along with patented elevATP® and Astragin™ to further augment exercise performance and muscle recovery.
It also comes in two refreshing flavors that are completely free of added sugar, artificial food dyes, artificial sweeteners, and fillers.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
Key Ingredients
Our formulas are made with clean, natural ingredients, with clinically-validated dosages to support health and performance.
Amino9® Essential Amino Acids
6,700 mg
A comprehensive blend of nine essential amino acids clinically proven to rapidly enhance muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and muscle growth.
Taurine
2,000 mg
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that enhances mental clarity, reduces muscle fatigue, and optimizes muscle hydration during intense training.
BetaPure™ Betaine Anhydrous
1,250 mg
Naturally found in sugar beets, betaine supports cellular hydration by regulating fluid balance and promotes blood flow by regulating homocysteine levels.
L-Tyrosine
1,000 mg
A conditionally essential amino acid that improves mental alertness and focus.
Coconut Water Powder
1,000 mg
Natural electrolyte source providing hydration, replenishing minerals, and supporting optimal muscle and nerve function during exercise.
Electrolytes
415 mg (combined)
Essential minerals for hydration, muscle contractions, nerve function, and maintaining electrolyte balance during exercise.
ElevATP®
150 mg
Clinically proven ingredient that boosts ATP production to rapidly enhance energy, power output, and workout endurance.
Astragin™
50 mg
An adaptogenic complex that enhances nutrient absorption, increasing the bioavailability of amino acids and other ingredients to maximize formula effectiveness.
Amino9® Essential Amino Acids
6,700 mg
Of the 20 amino acids necessary for protein synthesis in humans, nine are nutritionally “essential” since the body cannot make them on its own. Hence, we must consume these nine amino acids in the diet for proper health, recovery, and performance.
The nine EAAs in our intra-workout supplement include:
Histidine
Isoleucine (BCAA)
Leucine (BCAA)
Lysine
Methionine
Phenylalanine
Threonine
Tryptophan
Valine (BCAA)
Taking essential amino acids before, during, and/or after exercise can help rapidly increase muscle protein synthesis with minimal digestive assistance since the amino acids are not bonded together like they are in protein [1]. In fact, one study found that a bolus of leucine-enriched EAAs after a workout stimulated protein synthesis as effectively as intact whey protein despite each supplement providing the same proportions of essential amino acids [2].
Taurine
2,000 mg
Taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid often considered essential to pre-workout supplementation due to its diverse benefits for athletes and gym-goers. For one, taurine is a potent nootropic that promotes focus and attenuates brain cell inflammation and oxidative stress [5, 6].
Taurine can also enhance physical performance via increased blood flow to skeletal muscle tissue [7, 8].
Greater blood flow to muscle tissue encourages a favorable milieu for muscle function and recovery during training. Additionally, taurine supplementation has been shown to improve performance in endurance athletes [9].
BetaPure™ Betaine Anhydrous
1,250 mg
Betaine, also referred to as trimethylglycine, is a derivative of endogenous choline metabolism, and it naturally occurs in plant species (especially sugar beets). In recent years, betaine has become a common ingredient in pre-workout supplements due to its promise of enhancing athletic performance through diverse mechanisms [10, 11].
For one, betaine is an osmolytic compound that promotes cellular hydration, maintaining cellular volume and water balance during exercise. Betaine is also a crucial methyl donor for several biologically important molecules and a regulator of homocysteine levels, the latter of which is postulated to boost blood flow during training [12].
L-Tyrosine
1,000 mg
L-tyrosine is a conditionally essential amino acid and precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that govern motivation and reward. Research shows that supplementing with L-tyrosine can significantly enhance cognitive performance and increase alertness, especially under acute stress (such as intense training) [13].
L-tyrosine has also been shown to improve “cognitive flexibility,” suggesting it can help us adapt to dynamic cognitive demands without letting extraneous thoughts undermine our focus [14].
Coconut Water Powder
1,000 mg
Coconut (Cocos nucifera) water is one of the best natural sources of electrolytes and trace minerals, making it an excellent source of hydration. Coconut has been shown to provide a wealth of general health benefits, including, but not limited to [15]:
Rehydrating the body
Fighting inflammation
Balancing blood glucose and insulin levels
Promoting immune function
Enhancing eye and skin health
Supporting kidney function
Electrolytes
415 mg (combined)
Transparent Labs Intra EAA is rounded out with essential electrolytes for hydration and workout performance, including chelated magnesium and calcium, along with sodium and potassium (from Himalayan rock salt and potassium chloride, respectively).
Electrolytes are lost through sweat during exercise, so replenishing them is a must for maintaining fluid balance in the body [16]. These minerals are also integral for muscle contraction, reducing muscle cramps, and the transmission of nerve impulses [17].
ElevATP®
150 mg
ElevATP® is a clinically researched combination of “ancient peat” (fossilized plants) and apple skin extracts. Using innovative biotechnology, elevATP® stimulates your body’s endogenous production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the veritable energetic currency of cells.
By boosting ATP production, ElevATP® can help promote athletic performance (e.g. max strength) and improve body composition [18, 19]. ElevATP® is also a fast-acting ATP booster that starts working from the very first dose [20].
Astragin™
50 mg
Astragin™ is a water-soluble extract of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus, two promising adaptogenic herbs with longstanding medicinal use [21]. The constituents in these plants are suggested to selectively increase the absorption of molecules, such as amino acids, by enhancing intestinal permeability [22].
In other words, Astragin™ helps your body absorb the other ingredients in this intra-workout supplement, making the overall formula more effective.
