10g EAAs plus taurine and branded hydration support
Alpha Lion Super Human Intra is a straight-up intra-workout amino and hydration mix that's all about fixing two big issues during training: running low on fuel and losing that fluid-electrolyte balance. It tackles both head-on. For aminos, it gives you all 9 essential ones, not just BCAAs, because leucine kicks off the muscle-building process, but you need the full lineup to actually make it happen. For hydration, it throws in taurine, coconut water powder, sodium, and premium mineral blends to help with fluid levels, muscle pumps, and sticking it out in tough sessions.
The amino setup starts with 3,000 mg of BCAAs per scoop in the classic 2:1:1 split: 1,500 mg L-leucine, 750 mg L-isoleucine, and 750 mg L-valine. Leucine is the boss for signaling muscle growth through mTOR, that key pathway for protein synthesis. One scoop gives you a decent 1.5 g of leucine, good for easier days, but two scoops hit 3 g, which is right where most people see real benefits. Isoleucine helps pull glucose into muscles for energy, and valine aids muscle work while fighting off brain fatigue by blocking tryptophan from crossing into the brain.
What makes this better than a plain BCAA supp is the full EAA crew: L-threonine 625 mg, L-phenylalanine 625 mg, L-lysine 500 mg, L-methionine 137.5 mg, L-histidine 62.5 mg, and L-tryptophan 50 mg per scoop. These aren't just for show; they're what your body needs to finish the protein-building job. Threonine helps with structural proteins and gut health. Lysine is key for muscle and collagen building. Methionine handles methylation and starts

Key Highlights
- 10,000mg total amino acids at the 2-scoop serving — this isn't some BCAA-only drink acting like it's enough. You get all 9 essential amino acids, so leucine can start the muscle repair signal, and the full set gives your body what it needs to keep it going.
- 3,000mg L-Leucine at 2 scoops — that's spot-on for what most folks need to really kick off mTOR signaling. One scoop gives 1.5g for lighter workouts or smaller people, but two scoops is where it shines for solid performance boosts.
- 2:1:1 BCAA ratio with 1,500mg leucine, 750mg isoleucine, and 750mg valine per scoop — the tried-and-true split that works when it's all out in the open and backed by the other EAAs. Leucine drives the growth signal, isoleucine helps with muscle energy from glucose, and valine keeps muscle metabolism humming while easing mental fatigue.
- Full EAA spectrum, not just window dressing — threonine, phenylalanine, lysine, methionine, histidine, and tryptophan complete the amino picture. That makes this way more useful for your body than most intra drinks that quit at BCAAs and leave you short on real muscle support.
- 1,000mg taurine per scoop — a real dose that helps with cell hydration, water balance, and how muscles handle calcium. In the gym, it means steadier training, better hydration feel, less performance drop, and smoother endurance in long sets.
- Calci-K® mineral support — this premium blend of calcium, potassium, phosphate, and citrate is a step up from basic salts. These minerals help with muscle contractions, nerve signals, energy inside cells, and keeping fluids in check.
- Aquamin® trace minerals from red marine algae — a high-quality source that adds a wide range of minerals beyond just sodium and potassium. It beefs up the hydration side for people who want more than a basic electrolyte add-in.
- Raw coconut water powder at 500mg per scoop — a familiar hydration booster that fits right in with the electrolytes. It helps make the whole mix better for gym work without loading up on sugar like a sports drink.

Who Is This For?
- Bodybuilders in heavy lifting phases who want real stuff in their shaker, not plain water. The 2:1:1 BCAAs give leucine for growth signals, and the full EAAs make it way better than basic BCAAs that start the process but don't finish it.
- People lifting on empty mornings who need support without stims. The aminos provide quick essentials during the session, and taurine with electrolytes keep things steady when fuel and water are low.
- Athletes mixing strength, machines, circuits, and cardio in long workouts. Taurine at 1g per scoop helps with cell water and calcium, while minerals cover the electrolyte shifts as time adds up.
- Folks on pre-workouts wanting a no-stim intra to layer in aminos, hydration, Calci-K®, Aquamin®, and AstraGin® without jacking up caffeine or messing with later energy.
- Big sweaters who end workouts drenched and fading late. Not a mega-sodium drink, but the mix of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, coconut water, and taurine bridges hydration for regular gym and mixed sessions.
- Dieters holding onto workout quality with lower calories. Full EAAs help because keeping muscle isn't just leucine — it's having all essentials when food's cut back.
How to Use
Mix 1 scoop in 16-24 oz water or 2 in 24-40 oz based on session length and sweat. Start sipping at workout start and keep it up; that's smarter than pre-loading since it's for during-training support. One scoop for short stuff, small folks, or near-meal training. Two for long lifts, empty-stomach days, or when you want the full 10g aminos and 3g leucine. Shaker's best with extra water to mix aminos and minerals smooth. Use with or without food, but it's clutch when you're fasted or meals are far apart. Stacks great with pre-workouts, creatine, and post protein. No cycling needed — no stims or tolerance builders. Keep it sealed cool and dry to avoid clumps.
What to Expect
Minutes 0-10: Feels like a simple sip, not an energy bomb. You notice the hydration right away — better taste, less thirst, like you're drinking something that actually helps. Minutes 10-30: As you keep going, it settles in steady; no rush, but training feels more even without that flat vibe. Minutes 30-60: This is when taurine and hydration shine, especially in volume work or sweaty spots. Minutes 60+: The win is less drop-off, with fewer cramps, dryness, or crashes. Days 1-7: Figure out your dose — 1 scoop light, 2 for full power. Weeks 2-4: It's about reliable sessions, great if you're training empty, cutting calories, or pairing with protein and creatine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Alpha Lion Super Human Intra a BCAA product or a full EAA product?
It is both, but the important distinction is that it goes beyond BCAAs. Each scoop includes the 2:1:1 BCAA trio—1,500mg leucine, 750mg isoleucine, and 750mg valine—plus threonine, phenylalanine, lysine, methionine, histidine, and tryptophan, giving you all 9 essential amino acids rather than stopping at just three.
How much leucine do I get per serving?
You get 1,500mg L-leucine per scoop and 3,000mg at the 2-scoop serving. That matters because leucine is the primary mTOR trigger for muscle protein synthesis, and 3g sits in the range many athletes target when they want a more robust anabolic signal.
Should I use 1 scoop or 2 scoops?
Use 1 scoop for shorter sessions, smaller body size, or when training is close to a high-protein meal. Use 2 scoops when you want the full 10g amino acid payload, especially for fasted training, long hypertrophy sessions, or any workout where you want to reach the stronger 3g leucine threshold.
Does Super Human Intra contain caffeine or stimulants?
No. This is a stim-free intra-workout formula, which is one of its best use-case advantages because it can be stacked with a pre-workout, used during evening sessions, or taken on low-stim days without adding caffeine load.
What does taurine do in this formula?
Taurine is included at 1,000mg per scoop, which is a meaningful dose. It supports cellular hydration, osmoregulation, and calcium handling in muscle, so the practical effect is often better training stability, less flatness, and improved endurance feel during longer sessions.
Is the electrolyte blend strong enough for heavy sweaters?
For standard gym training, yes, it adds useful support through sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, Aquamin®, Calci-K®, and coconut water powder. For extreme sweat losses, all-day outdoor work, or endurance events in high heat, you may still want a dedicated higher-sodium hydration product because this formula is balanced more for gym performance than aggressive rehydration.
Can I stack this with a pre-workout?
Yes, and that is one of the most logical ways to use it. Because Super Human Intra contains no stimulants, it pairs cleanly with caffeinated pre-workouts and fills a different role: amino acid availability, hydration support, and better training durability during the session.
Does this use proprietary blends?
No. The label is fully disclosed, so every active ingredient and every dose is listed. That is a real advantage in the amino category, where many products rely on large blend totals while hiding whether the meaningful ingredients are actually dosed well.
What are Calci-K®, Aquamin®, and AstraGin® doing here?
Calci-K® provides calcium, potassium, and phosphorus in a quality branded mineral complex that supports muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and energy-related physiology. Aquamin® adds trace minerals from red marine algae, while AstraGin® is included to support absorption of the formula's amino acids and nutrients.
Is this enough to replace protein powder after training?
No, not by itself. It is an intra-workout amino formula, not a full protein serving. It helps support training and can be especially useful when pre-workout nutrition is imperfect, but it still works best alongside a daily protein intake strategy that covers your total protein needs.
