Description
A dietary supplement based on the 8 essential amino acids (3 branched-chain amino acids + 5 non-branched-chain amino acids), present in a qualitative-quantitative ratio specifically designed for humans.
Due to its characteristics, Gunamino formula:
-is rapidly absorbed;
-requires minimal digestive effort;
-produces only a minimal amount of nitrogenous waste;
-does not overload kidney and liver functions.
The amino acids in Gunamino formula are obtained by biofermentation on plants (cereals) and are ultra-purified and crystallized.

Ingredients
Blend of essential amino acids (L-leucine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, L-lysine hydrochloride, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-methionine, L-tryptophan), maltodextrin; acidity regulator: citric acid; flavourings; emulsifier: sucrose esters of fatty acids; sweetener: sucralose.
