Naked EAAs

Not the best flavor but that’s what I expect from a certified non filler, clean product..it does its job when taken correctly.

Yes, the taste is a bit like vinegar and bitter — but if you mix it as a quick shot with about 2 oz of water, it’s fast and easy to drink. I was honestly hesitant to order this after reading the reviews, but I’m so glad I did! I’m vegetarian, and since I started taking this, I’ve noticed I can lift heavier and actually see muscle growth. Of course, I’m intentional with my macros and training, but this supplement has made a huge difference. Sure, you can find EAAs full of artificial flavors that taste better, but if you care about clean ingredients, this is the one. I highly recommend it. (Pro tip: I take the shot, then follow it with a sip of kombucha — resets the palate perfectly!)

I’ve previously purchased Naked Whey (vanilla) and absolutely loved it, it’s one of my favorites on the market and I decided to give their EAAS a try. They make for a great intra-workout, helping aide in performance in the gym while keeping your appetite at bay. The product dissolves easily which has been important to me as I mix it with an electrolyte mix for natural flavor (I tried the mango flavored one by Naked, it’s pretty rough, so sweet it makes your face pucker. Unflavored is the way to go.) Overall I feel this is a high quality product and when you but the unflavored version, the scoop is much smaller and the product lasts longer, making it a higher value for your money. I’d highly recommend.

First - I have tried both the lemonade and the unflavored. To say that either of those flavor descriptions are accurate is grossly overreaching. They both have the most bitter taste profile I have ever had in my life. Absolutely disgusting. Nothing can hide it either. Now on to the more disastrous point of the interview is company rep. Yikes. I wish I would have known (read as I did NOT do my research so this is my fault and I will not be asking for a refund): In October 2025, Consumer Reports published an investigation into heavy metals in protein powders and shakes, with key findings for Naked Nutrition's Vegan Mass Gainer: The Vegan Mass Gainer had the highest lead levels of all products tested, with one serving containing 7.7 micrograms. This amount is roughly 1,570% of Consumer Reports' recommended daily level of concern (0.5 micrograms). The company responded that independent third-party testing confirmed their products did not exceed FDA reference intake levels for heavy metals. It also noted that the Vegan Mass Gainer has a larger serving size than many other plant-based powders. Broader context on heavy metals in supplements The issue of heavy metals like lead is widespread across the supplement industry, especially in plant-based products, due to how plants absorb metals from the soil. Contamination source: Lead can enter the supply chain through contaminated soil, groundwater, and manufacturing processes. Higher risk for plant-based: On average, plant-based protein powders have been found to contain significantly more lead than dairy-based alternatives. Federal regulations: In the United States, dietary supplements are not reviewed or tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety before they are sold, and there are no federal limits for heavy metal content. Safety recommendations: Experts caution that while these levels may not cause immediate harm, lead can build up in the body over time. Long-term exposure is linked to health problems, and no level of lead is considered safe. What this means for Naked EAAs Although Naked EAAs were not specifically named in the October 2025 Consumer Reports study, the findings for a different Naked Nutrition product are still relevant. Naked EAAs are also a plant-based, vegan supplement, which places them in the category found to have higher contamination risk.

From what I can tell they do the job that they are advertised to do. Which is give you the amino acids to create a complete protein. However, it says unflavored, which I can say is not exactly accurate. When I thought unflavored I thought flavorless which might be my own fault, but they do have a flavor and it is quite unpleasant. I recommend getting a flavored version as the unflavored are no Bueno when it comes to getting it down.

When I first tasted the unflavored product, I braced myself for a bad flavor based on the reviews here. But after trying it, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself - “these guys have clearly not had to prep yet for a colonoscopy” lol (aka under 45). The flavor is super easy to mask with juice and the benefits far outweigh the taste so this is a win for me. Love this product and happy to be getting clean ingredients. I’ll definitely keep buying it.

Great EAA Product, but the unflavored powder doesn’t taste very good in water You’ll have to mix it in a smoothie or add a bit of natural sugar in my opinion

Excellent formula of all 9 EAAs including a 2:1:1. BCAA. Some other products simply list ingredients without stating mg weight. Mixes well and is pretty much tasteless compared to other brands but suggest it goes best with a flavored drink. Very effective before, during and after workout. 45 kcal/10 gr for the equivalent of 25 gr of high quality protein is a no-brainer.

I love the idea that there are no added flavors or colors. !

Seamless blending into any liquid and virtually flavorless. I love that it’s clean and pure with no unnecessary fillers!

I was overwhelmed by the awful, bitter taste, like many of the other reviewers. I don't know if I'll be able to get past the taste. I wanted to gag. Those who have, seem to be happy with the results. I will give it another try with the suggestion of taking it as a shot, then chasing it with a sip of kombucha, or another beverage to reset the palate.

I gave 4 stars because of the taste. The one without taste has actually a bitter taste if you drink it with water. I did not try with milk or juice but the bitter taste is pretty strong. Other than that, I know it’s a good product and company.

Excellent EAA profile. No flavours or additives so it tastes sulphur-y. A pinch of citric acid balances it out perfectly.
