Muscle Elements has unleashed AmiNO Flow to the bodybuilding and supplement world. If you notice the subtle capitalization within the name, you’ll realize that AmiNO Flow is both a BCAA and a blood-flow increasing supplement for enhanced muscle pumps and protein synthesis.

I’m always intrigued by blood-flow increasing supplements because looking to get a great muscle-pump is one of my goals when working out.

I was lucky enough to get some watermelon Muscle Elements AmiNO Flow, and here’s what I thought about it.

An Examination of the Ingredient Profile

AmiNO Flow is packed full with several ergogenic ingredients that are sure to offer you an edge on your workout performance and recovery.

Muscle Elements AmiNO Flow features an Instant BCAA Blend 3:1:2 of 5 g per serving. BCAAs are excellent to supplement with because they improve muscle recovery and l-leucine triggers protein synthesis. Essentially, this could lead to greater muscle growth.

L-Citrulline and AgmaMAX (Agmatine Sulfate) are 2 of the 5 ingredients in Muscle Elements Pump & Transport Elements subsection of ingredients.

L-Citrulline is an amino acid that converts to l-arginine, and supplementation with it has been shown to increase blood flow via nitric oxide production and even increase growth hormone release when combined with exercise. [1] [2]

Muscle Elements AmiNO Flow also provides hydration & endurance ingredients, such as disodium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate.

Overall, Muscle Elements AmiNO Flow’s formula is impressive, offering essential pump, growth, and recovery ingredients to help increase your workout results.

Experience and Effectiveness

I got to try the watermelon flavor. It was a delicious flavor. I may be partially biased because watermelon is my favorite flavor when it comes to supplements. The flavor was refreshing, and pretty strong in only about 6 oz. of water. If I wanted the flavor to be slightly more subtle, I could always add another 1-2 oz. of water no problem.

It mixed great. I didn’t notice any weird floaties or settling at the bottom of my shaker cup. I supplemented with a scoop of this before working out and finished it during the beginning of my workout.

From what I could tell, most of these ingredients work in the background. There aren’t any crazy stimulants in it, but I did notice that my pumps during my arm workout were great. The tasty flavor was great to sip on during my warm up sets, and I definitely noticed an increased pump at the end of my workout.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Muscle Elements AmiNO Flow is a solid supplement. One bottle provides 30 servings and retails for about $35. Considering the extensive ingredient profile, the flavor, and the price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to increase their muscle pumps and also enhance hydration.

If you decide to try out Muscle Elements AmiNO Flow, I’d love to hear about your experience as well!
