A member asked:
I was curious what's the difference between the amino acid and protein shakes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technically: Proteins are built from amino acids, so effectively an 'amino acid' supplement or shake is digested somehow from protein source - or manufactured from precursor. Protein shake will contain various sources, usually from food, but not always of proteins. What would be best for you depends on many different issues. Discuss with nutritionist.
