EAA Amino Acids in Capsules – 9 EAA food supplement
NoordCode Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules is a vegan blend of all 9 essential amino acids in capsule form. A daily serving of 5 capsules provides 5 000 mg EAA, including 2 000 mg L-leucine, 850 mg L-lysine, 650 mg L-isoleucine, 650 mg L-valine and five other essential amino acids.
The formula contains free-form amino acids in precisely declared amounts rather than a proprietary blend. It’s suited to periods of inconsistent protein intake, before or during fasted training, and to those who prefer capsules to a flavoured EAA drink. The product is vegan, sugar-free, soy-free and gluten-free; the pack contains 150 capsules, providing 30 servings.
EAA Amino Acids in Capsules – 5 g of All 9 Essential Amino Acids – NoordCode
NoordCode Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules contains the complete set of all 9 essential amino acids. One serving of 5 capsules provides exactly 5 000 mg EAA, with 2 000 mg L-leucine making up the largest proportion.
The body cannot produce essential amino acids in the amounts it needs, so they must come from the diet. This formula provides them as individual free-form amino acids rather than as a complete protein concentrate.
The product is particularly relevant on days when protein intake varies or during fasted training. If your main aim is to increase total daily protein intake, a complete protein source is more appropriate.
Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules is particularly suited to:
- people who include fasted training in their routine,
- days when protein intake from regular meals is lower or inconsistent,
- vegans looking for EAA without animal-derived ingredients,
- those who prefer unflavoured capsules without sweeteners to a drink.
Five capsules contain 5 g EAA, but they are not a substitute for a complete protein source or a varied diet.

SUITABLE FOR
Pravé Bio recommends adding
- Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate with AstraGin® NoordCode
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise at a daily intake of 3 g creatine. - Organic Pure Whey – Whey Protein NoordCode
A more appropriate option if you mainly need to increase total protein intake. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. Not suitable for vegans. - Performance Electrolytes NoordCode
Particularly useful during longer periods of exertion or heavier sweating. They contain sodium, potassium and magnesium; magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and normal muscle function.
Main benefits of Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules
NoordCode Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules has a simple formula: nine essential amino acids, with the exact amount of each stated separately, in unflavoured capsules without sweeteners.
- 5 000 mg EAA per daily serving
Five capsules contain the complete set of all nine essential amino acids.- 2 000 mg L-leucine
Leucine accounts for 40 % of the full EAA serving and is the most abundant amino acid in the formula.- All 9 EAA, not just BCAA
Alongside leucine, isoleucine and valine, the blend also contains lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, histidine, tryptophan and methionine.- Transparent formula
This is not a proprietary blend. The amount of each amino acid is stated separately.- Free-form amino acids
The formula contains individual essential amino acids in free form rather than a complete protein concentrate.- Unflavoured vegan capsules
The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The product is free from sugar, soya and gluten and does not need to be mixed with water.- Independent laboratory testing
NoordCode states that it tests for heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins. A report with results for a specific batch can be requested from the manufacturer.
When are EAA relevant?
The main source of essential amino acids remains a regular diet with enough quality protein. Separate EAA have a place mainly as targeted supplementation when you do not want or cannot have a complete protein meal.
During fasted training
The capsules can be taken before training without preparing a protein or amino acid drink. Bear in mind, however, that amino acids trigger a metabolic response, so from a physiological perspective they break a strict fast.
When protein intake varies during the day
One serving provides exactly 5 g of all nine EAA. If your main aim is to increase your total protein intake for the day, a complete protein source is more appropriate.
EAA versus BCAA
BCAA are only three essential amino acids – leucine, isoleucine and valine. Ultimate EAA Formula contains all nine EAA, including the other six amino acids needed for a complete essential amino acid profile.
What does the evidence say?
The production of new body proteins requires all essential amino acids to be available. Leucine has an important signalling role in this process, but cannot replace a complete EAA profile on its own. For long-term results, total daily intake of quality protein matters more than EAA timing alone.

Ingredient breakdown
L-leucine
What it is: An essential amino acid from the BCAA group.
Per serving: 2 000 mg, or 40 % of the full EAA blend.
In the blend: It is the most abundant amino acid. Leucine has an important signalling role in the production of new body proteins, but the other essential amino acids are also needed for the complete process.
L-isoleucine + L-valine
What they are: Together with leucine, they make up the three BCAA.
Per serving: 650 mg L-isoleucine and 650 mg L-valine.
In the blend: The BCAA are not used on their own here, but form part of the complete profile of all nine EAA.
L-lysine
What it is: One of the nine essential amino acids.
Per serving: 850 mg L-lysine.
Form: The ingredient list uses L-lysine monohydrochloride.
L-threonine
What it is: An essential amino acid that must be obtained from the diet.
Per serving: 600 mg.
In the blend: It is one of the five most abundant amino acids in the formula.
L-phenylalanine
What it is: An essential aromatic amino acid.
Per serving: 150 mg.
In the blend: It forms part of the complete nine-amino-acid essential profile.
L-histidine
What it is: One of the nine essential amino acids.
Per serving: 40 mg.
Form: The ingredient list uses L-histidine hydrochloride.
L-tryptophan
What it is: An essential amino acid obtained from the diet.
Per serving: 30 mg.
In the blend: It is one of the EAA present in the smallest amount, but remains part of the complete profile of all nine amino acids.
L-methionine
What it is: A sulphur-containing essential amino acid.
Per serving: 30 mg.
In the blend: Together with tryptophan, it is the amino acid present in the smallest amount in the formula.
Lecithin and plant-based capsule
Lecithin: Used as an emulsifier with L-leucine. Its specific plant source is not stated on the product page.
Capsule: The shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC).
Suitability: The product does not use a gelatine capsule and is declared vegan.
What does this mean in practice?
One serving contains exactly 5 000 mg of all nine essential amino acids. L-leucine accounts for the largest amount at 2 000 mg, followed by lysine, isoleucine, valine and threonine.
Unlike a BCAA product, it also contains the other six EAA. Unlike protein powder, it is not a complete protein source, but a precisely formulated serving of essential amino acids alone.
If your diet already provides enough quality protein over the long term, there is no automatic need to add EAA. They are mainly relevant when you want to take amino acids separately without a complete protein meal or drink.

FAQ
How much EAA does one daily serving contain?
Five capsules contain a total of 5 000 mg, or 5 g of all nine essential amino acids.
Which 9 essential amino acids does the product contain?
It contains L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, L-lysine, L-threonine, L-phenylalanine, L-histidine, L-tryptophan and L-methionine.
How much leucine does one serving contain?
Five capsules provide 2 000 mg L-leucine. Leucine therefore makes up 40 % of the total five-gram EAA serving.
What is the difference between EAA and BCAA?
BCAA include only three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. EAA refers to all nine essential amino acids. Ultimate EAA Formula therefore contains lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, histidine, tryptophan and methionine alongside the three BCAA.
Do EAA replace protein?
No. EAA provide the nine essential amino acids in a targeted way, while a complete protein source provides the full spectrum of amino acids and increases total protein intake. If your main aim is to increase the amount of protein you consume during the day, a complete protein source is more appropriate.
When are EAA most relevant?
Typically when protein intake varies during the day, you do not want a full meal or protein drink before training, or you include fasted training. If your regular diet already provides enough quality protein, additional EAA are not automatically necessary.
How should Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules be taken?
The recommended serving is 5 capsules daily on an empty stomach. This provides 5 g essential amino acids.
How long does one pack last?
The pack contains 150 capsules. At five capsules per day, this provides 30 servings.
Are the capsules vegan?
Yes. The product is vegan and the capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), not gelatine.
Does the product contain sugar, soya or gluten?
No. Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules is free from sugar, soya and gluten. The formula is also suitable for a keto diet.
What does a transparent formula mean?
The amount of each of the nine amino acids is stated separately. It is therefore not a proprietary blend where only the total weight is declared without listing the amounts of the individual ingredients.
Are the amino acids in free form?
Yes. The formula contains individual free-form essential amino acids. L-lysine is present as L-lysine monohydrochloride and L-histidine as L-histidine hydrochloride.
Is the product laboratory tested?
NoordCode states that it carries out independent laboratory testing for heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins. A public laboratory report with measured values for a specific batch is not published on the product page.
Is the capsule or powder version better?
All versions provide 5 g EAA and 2 g L-leucine per serving. Capsules are suited to those who do not want flavouring, sweeteners or the need to prepare a drink. Powdered versions are more relevant if you want to mix EAA with water and sip them before or during training.
Can EAA be combined with creatine?
Yes. They are two different types of supplement and do not replace one another. EAA provide essential amino acids, while creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise at a daily intake of 3 g creatine. Whether the combination is relevant depends on your training, diet and goals.
Do EAA break a fast?
Yes. Amino acids trigger a metabolic response, so from a physiological perspective they break a strict fast. Fasted training with EAA is therefore not the same as training while maintaining a complete fast.
Can pregnant and breastfeeding women take the product?
There is insufficient information available on use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During these periods, do not add the product without individual advice from a healthcare professional.
When should use be discussed with a professional?
If you take medication, have an illness or other health concerns, discuss use in advance with a doctor or another qualified healthcare professional.
Where are Ultimate EAA Formula Capsules made?
The product is made in Europe. The specific country of manufacture and the countries of origin of the individual amino acids are not stated on the product page.

About NoordCode
NoordCode offers Europe's purest and highest quality functional foods and dietary supplements to consumers. Their team consists of top experts who design and develop products for their own use. They are not satisfied with the average, but want to bring better quality nutritional products to the European market using local sources and reasonable prices.
The inspiration for the name "NoordCode" is based on Northern European standards of high quality. Their Viking mentality helps to go the extra mile to achieve the best results every time, whether it's product quality or customer service. Always strive for optimal performance, and not just in words. In fact, they prove it in many ways. All NoordCode products are laboratory tested for purity and free of toxins and mould.
The story of the brand
The idea to start NoordCode was born when they realised how difficult it was to find quality nutritional products that were tasty, made in Europe and reasonably priced at the same time. Most functional foods sold in the EU are imported from all over the world. This does not make sense because we have very high quality raw materials in Europe and importing them increases costs and prices because of logistics and tariffs.
The main objective was to create a European range of functional foods that meet the highest standards. It was important to know the sources of the raw materials and to prove the quality by laboratory tests and certifications. Expertise in food products and dietary supplements has been built up over years of learning and testing.
The main founder is Eduard de Wilde, who is also the founder of LiveHelfi.com and a biohacker himself. He learned that by making the right lifestyle choices you can improve your physical and mental performance. Food and supplements are an essential part of it.
