Essential Amino Acids

Is an essential amino acid product something you guys have ever considered? Seems like a base of a stack supplement that many can benefit from especially if old, naturally low protein diet, super active lifestyle, focus on muscle building, etc. Appropriate amino acid status also closely related mood, cognition, etc. Maybe it’s not quite in the ND product wheelhouse but they’re aren’t a lot of quality providers with a plain, clean EAA (especially in capsules or tabs) product. I had been consistently using NOW Amino-9 (which seems to be one of the only decent ones out there) but its hard to find and sparsely stocked at many vendors and still don’t trust it as much as I would one from you guys.
Thoughts?
Thanks

So pretty much out of the question at the current time then I take it? I get it, has to work for the business and currently this would be high risk, low reward. Have you ever tested/tried the NOW Amino 9 product?

Actually, I was somewhat incorrect. I spoke to my lab director, and Waters makes an amino acid method with sample prep for our UPLC-MS machine. You still need to do precolumn derivatization, but Waters did all the development and validation work for it. So while they are complex methdos, and you need expensive machines, the actual time-consuming work has already been done by Waters.
