Ingredients

Everything in the formula, and why it's there.

Most labels hide behind a “proprietary blend” — a list of names with no doses, so nobody can check anything. Aminotype prints the full panel on the front of the tub. This page goes one level deeper: where each ingredient comes from, the standard it is bought to, and how it is tested before it is allowed into your formula.

01 — The bases

Every formula starts from one base, chosen at typing. Both are complete proteins; both are balanced with free-form amino acids to the FAO/WHO reference pattern for adults — the balance, not the base, is what makes your type.

Whey protein isolate ≥90% protein
SourceGrass-fed dairy, New Zealand and EU herds; hormone-free (no rBST/rBGH), cold-processed and ultrafiltered to preserve the native protein fractions.
QualityNaturally complete essential amino acid profile, ~11% leucine; instantised with sunflower lecithin (never soy lecithin).
StandardEach lot verified for protein content and full amino acid profile before release (see Testing).
Plant base Pea + rice isolates
SourceYellow pea isolate (≥85% protein) from EU-grown peas, blended with brown rice protein isolate.
QualityPea is lysine-rich but methionine-poor; rice is the mirror image. Blended and then corrected with free-form L-methionine and L-lysine to a complete profile — measured, not assumed.
StandardScreened for heavy metals at intake; plant proteins carry the highest cadmium/lead risk in the range, so this base is tested per lot, without exception.

02 — The amino acids (the typing instruments)

Free-form amino acids are how a formula becomes yours: the base is adjusted, gram by gram, to your type. All are produced by fermentation (plant-derived, vegan), ≥99% purity, pharmaceutical grade.

Free-form amino acids and their function in the formula
Amino acidFunction in formula
L-LeucineThe muscle-protein-synthesis trigger; dosed highest in Maintain (60+) and Strength types, where the threshold rises
L-LysineFirst limiting amino acid in plant bases and grain-heavy diets; corrected to reference pattern
L-MethionineThe plant base's gap; also the precursor for cysteine and glutathione pathways
L-ThreonineGut lining and mucin production; part of every complete-EAA correction
L-Isoleucine / L-ValineLeucine's BCAA partners, kept in ratio — never dosed as a “BCAA blend”
L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine, L-TryptophanCompleteness corrections, in milligram amounts — present because the reference pattern requires them

03 — The add-ons (only where your type calls for them)

Add-ons are dosed into the formula at typing and itemised on your certificate. Nothing is added for marketing.

  • Creatine monohydrate

    Specified to the Creapure® standard: 99.99% pure, manufactured in Germany, tested for creatinine and dicyandiamide. Dose set by type (typically 3–5 g).

    Dosed by type

  • Collagen peptides (Types I & III)

    Grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine; for joint-comfort types. Listed separately from the protein panel — collagen is not a complete protein and is never counted toward your 24 g.

    Dosed by type

  • Electrolyte complex

    Sodium (sea salt), potassium citrate, magnesium glycinate (chelated, the form specified for tolerance); dosed for endurance types and heavy sweaters.

    Dosed by type

  • Sweetness, if requested

    The default formula is unsweetened and unflavoured. If your typing asks for light sweetness: stevia leaf extract and monk fruit extract only. No sucralose, no acesulfame, no “natural flavours” line — if a flavour is ever added, its components will be named here.

04 — In the Vitamin Shot Nº

Vitamin Shot ingredients
IngredientFormNote
Vitamin D3From lichen in plant formulas (lanolin-derived otherwise)Dose set by typing and season, stated in IU on the bottle.
Vitamin B12MethylcobalaminThe active form.
FolateL-methylfolate (5-MTHF)Not folic acid.
MagnesiumGlycinateAs in the electrolyte complex.

Each shot is a daily dose in 60 ml. The bottle prints every amount; there are no “proprietary energy blends.”

05 — Testing: the regime

Specified, numbered, and published. This is the page the brand stands on.

  1. 01

    Supplier qualification.

    Every ingredient is bought to a written specification (identity, purity, protein/amino content, contaminants). Certificates of analysis are required per lot — and verified, not filed.

  2. 02

    Identity & potency, per ingredient lot.

    Independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory: protein by combustion (Dumas) method; amino acid profile by HPLC on protein bases and free-form amino acids.

  3. 03

    Heavy metals, per lot.

    ICP-MS screening for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, held to California Proposition 65 limits — the strictest in US commerce — whether or not the product ships to California.

  4. 04

    Microbiology, per production run.

    Total plate count, yeast and mould, and pathogen screening (Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria) to USP dietary-supplement standards.

  5. 05

    Adulteration screening.

    True-protein verification against total nitrogen (the test that catches amino spiking), plus melamine screening on dairy inputs.

  6. 06

    Finished-run assay.

    Every production run is sampled and assayed against its formula specification before release; a run that misses its panel is not shipped.

  7. 07

    Published results.

    Results are posted against batch numbers. The number on your tub is the number on the report.

  8. 08

    Facility.

    Compounded and packed in a cGMP facility (21 CFR Part 111), with allergen segregation for milk and soy inputs, and full lot-to-tub traceability in both directions.
