We are driven by the simple idea that great science yields great products. All of our products are clinically tested for safety and effectiveness, so we know you'll love them.
We guarantee it.
Amino Acids are our greatest asset. As the building blocks of protein and human life, just 21 amino acids create thousands of proteins – and enable nearly all biological functioning.
Our bodies can only make 12 of the 21 amino acids, which means food must provide the other 9. These 9 are called essential amino acids (EAAs), because they’re vital to our existence.
Because EAAs are most powerful when consumed in exact ratios, our research is grounded in the development of precise EAA profiles. Once perfected, our patented profiles deliver optimized, targeted, and truly unparalleled health results.
All products are patented or patent pending, with proven superiority through clinical trials.
Our work is based on 40 years of research, over 100 clinical trials, and over 500 peer-reviewed papers.
Clinically tested to ensure maximum absorption with no harmful side effects.
Amino Company products are built on amino acid technology first funded by NASA and further refined through rigorous research and independent clinical trials.
We’ve determined the precise blends of amino acids to help you become stronger, heal faster, reduce age-related declines, and improve your overall metabolic health.

DISCLAIMER for International Orders Duties and Taxes: Import duties, taxes, and brokerage fees are not included in the product price or shipping and handling cost and will be collected upon delivery from the carriers for certain packages.

We cannot be held responsible or accountable for any taxes, duties, tariffs, quarantine fees, or package warehousing fees assessed by your local customs office. These charges are separate from your shipping charge, and you will be billed directly by them.
Here is some additional information regarding international shipments to Canada:
Brokerage Fees: The brokerage fees are a processing fee charged by the shipping company. This fee includes filling in a customs form to indicate the contents and value of the shipment and calculating duty and taxes.

Gift shipments received by mail that are valued under 60 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt.

Refunds may take up to 4 weeks before they appear on the customer’s bank statement. Most cases will be quicker; however, due to return shipping time (3-9 business days), return processing (4-6 business days), and refund requests to the bank (4-9 business days), it can take up to 4 weeks.

You agree to be solely responsible for payment of all sums owing to any person or entity by virtue of the exposition of the Materials and Information on the Site.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information, and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by writing to us at The Amino Company LLC, 16192 Coastal Hwy., Lewes, DE 19958 USA. We will contact you by letter to the billing address you provided us.
Instead Of Suing In Court, We Each Agree To Arbitrate Disputes
We each agree to finally settle all disputes (as defined and subject to any specific exceptions below) only by arbitration. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. THE PARTIES VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Terms of Use, and the Privacy Statement, and can award the same damages and relief, including any attorney’s fees authorized by law. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. We also each agree as follows:
Disputes are any claims (including the definition of claims contained in the section Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer of Warranty above) or controversies against each other related in any way to this Agreement, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Statement, or Your purchase and use of the Product. This includes claims You bring against Our affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, telecommunications providers, or agents or other representatives, or that The Amino Company LLC brings against You.
If either The Amino Company LLC or You wants to arbitrate a dispute, We each agree to send written notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents/information, and the proposed resolution. Notice to You will be sent to Your billing address that You provided Us and notice to Us will be sent to: The Amino Company LLC, 16192 Coastal Hwy., Lewes, DE 19958, USA. We each agree to make attempts to resolve this dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, and then We may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
The FAA applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree that the FAA™s provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
The arbitration will be administered by the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) under its arbitration rules. If any NAF rule conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement apply. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the NAF at 1-800-474-2371 or www.adrforum.com.
Unless We each agree otherwise, the Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and will take place in the state of Your last billing address. The federal or state law that applies to the Agreement will also apply during the Arbitration.
We each agree not to pursue arbitration on a consolidated or classwide basis. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between You and The Amino Company LLC (not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator hold that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then this agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in court.
We each are responsible for our own costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration. However, The Amino Company LLC will cover any arbitration administrative or filing fee above: (a) $25 if You are seeking less than $1,000 from The Amino Company LLC; or (b) the equivalent court filing fees for a court action in the appropriate jurisdiction if you are seeking $1,000 or more from us.
No Class Actions
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CONSOLIDATED OR CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
No Trial by Jury
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
GOVERNING LAW
You agree that this Agreement and any issue or dispute arising out of or otherwise related to this Agreement or with Your use of our Website, Intellectual Property, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Statement, or any matter concerning The Amino Company LLC shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of law provisions.
SEVERABILITY
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Statement, or any portion thereof, to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder of the Agreement, the Terms of Use, and the Privacy Statement will continue in full force and effect.
NO WAIVER
No waiver of or by The Amino Company LLC shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default of the same provision of this Agreement. If any term, clause or provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause or provision and such invalid term, clause or provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement.
HEADINGS
All headings are solely for the convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning, construction, or effect of this Agreement.
COMPLETE AGREEMENT
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Your access and use of the Website and Your ordering and use of the Products, and supersedes and replaces all prior understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matters.
