i just started the universal beef aminos. i like em. i see it like taking a protein supp to get a lil extra protein in to get you to your mark. it has the same amount of aminos in it as 100 grams of beef, which is about 4 oz's of meat, which would be 28 grams of protein. so it has the same amount of aminos as 28 grams of protein in just 3 pills.
