Optimum Nutrition has done a few exclusive flavor extensions over the last couple of years for two of its most prominent and popular supplements in the hybrid amino cocktail AmiNO Energy, and the legendary protein powder, Gold Standard 100% Whey. The legacy sports nutrition company has crafted various flavors for the likes of GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe, although this time around, we’ve got news of a completely new product that you can only purchase from the membership retailer Costco.
AmiNO Energy has a few spin-offs out there infused with additional electrolytes and even collagen, and now there is AmiNO Energy Focus and Hydration. The innovation from Optimum Nutrition is essentially the same as AmiNO Energy Hydration with a nootropic twist. The multi-benefit supplement comes with AmiNO Energy’s signature 5g of aminos for recovery and performance; a blend of electrolytes to support hydration; green tea, green coffee bean, and 100mg of caffeine for energy; and reinforcing the “Focus” name is 200mg of theanine and 100mg of the reputable focus and clarity-enhancing CognatiQ.
As mentioned, Optimum Nutrition’s AmiNO Energy Focus is exclusive to Costco, making it a little less accessible compared to any of the other versions, including the regular AmiNO Energy, although the upside is the price is incredibly competitive. The original AmiNO Energy sits at $29.99 for a tub of 30 servings through the brand’s own online store, compared to AmiNO Energy Focus which is eactly the same at Costco but it’s for 72 Tiki Twist-flavored servings, working out to almost 60% better value.
