For the buyer who reads the label first

Before You Believe "11x More Effective" — Read The Study.

Most supplement claims disappear the second you ask "compared to what, and where's it published?" Oh!mino's don't. The 11x whey / 20x BCAA comparison comes from NASA-supported research conducted at the University of Texas Medical Branch, published in The Journal of Nutrition — a real bedrest study on muscle protein synthesis, not an internal marketing test. The formula itself is fully disclosed: 9 essential amino acids + 5 electrolytes, no hidden "proprietary blend."

If you've stopped trusting supplement labels

You're Not Wrong To Be Skeptical.

The supplement industry trained you to distrust it. Every tub says "clinically proven." Almost none of them say where, on whom, or published where you can actually go check.

01

"Proprietary blend" is a legal way to hide the amounts.

A blend listing lets a brand name every ingredient without disclosing how much of each is actually in your scoop. You could be getting a fraction of a gram of the thing on the label art.

02

A testimonial is not a data point.

An athlete saying a product "works" tells you how one person felt on one day. It's not a controlled study, and it's not evidence of a mechanism.

03

"Clinically proven" with no citation isn't a claim — it's a slogan.

If a brand can't point you to where a study was published, who ran it, and what was actually measured, there's no way to verify the claim is true.

04

So now you assume it's all hype — even when it isn't.

You've been burned enough times that you default to distrust, which means the rare product with real, checkable research gets lumped in with the ones making it up.

"What if the reason you don't trust supplement claims is that most of them were never built to survive being checked?"
— THE QUESTION THIS PAGE IS BUILT TO ANSWER

Here's The Actual Research

No Blend. No Mystery. Just A Study You Can Look Up.

Oh!mino's essential amino acid ratio isn't a marketing invention — it's built on a NASA-supported bedrest study conducted at the University of Texas Medical Branch and published in The Journal of Nutrition. Instead of asking you to take our word for it, here's what's actually disclosed and checkable.

A named, published citation — The Journal of Nutrition, not an unlinked "study" mentioned only in ad copy.
A named research institution — University of Texas Medical Branch, with NASA-supported bedrest research design.
A measurable mechanism — muscle protein synthesis, not a vague "feel the difference" claim.
Full formula disclosure — 9 essential amino acids + 5 electrolytes, dosed and labeled, not folded into a "proprietary blend."
What's actually in the tub

What You Get With Oh!mino.

No blend to decode. The formula is 9 essential amino acids and 5 electrolytes — disclosed, not hidden. Available in Tropical Splash and Berry Blast, each caffeinated or stimulant-free, plus a 180ct vegan capsule format.

9 Essential Amino Acids, Disclosed

Not a "proprietary blend" — the formula that drove the published 11x/20x comparison, at the ratio it was studied.

5 Electrolytes For Full Hydration

Built in, so you're not buying a separate hydration mix to cover what the amino acids don't.

Caffeinated Or Stimulant-Free

Same studied amino acid ratio either way — pick based on when you train, not what you can tolerate.

Non-Dairy, Vegan, Fast-Digesting

No bloating, no heaviness — amino acids reach your bloodstream instead of sitting in your stomach.

Zero Sugar, Zero Net Carbs, Non-GMO

Clean label — nothing added to hide behind, same principle as the formula disclosure.

The Research, In Full

NASA-Supported Science. Not Marketing Hype.

Here's the actual study behind the 11x and 20x figures — what was tested, where it was published, and how amino acids drive muscle repair in the first place.

What Was Measured
Muscle protein synthesis rates

Bedrest studies are a recognized research model for isolating muscle loss: forced physical inactivity causes measurable muscle protein breakdown, which lets researchers precisely test whether a nutritional intervention — in this case, an essential amino acid complex — can preserve or rebuild muscle protein under controlled conditions. This is the same disuse-atrophy research approach NASA has used to study astronauts, applied here to compare Oh!mino's EAA ratio directly against whey protein and BCAAs.

STEP 1

Amino acids are the raw material

Muscle tissue is rebuilt from amino acids. Without enough of the right ones circulating in your blood, your body has nothing to rebuild with, no matter how hard you trained.

STEP 2

Essential amino acids can't be skipped

Your body cannot manufacture the 9 essential amino acids on its own — they have to come from food or supplementation, which is why the ratio and completeness of the dose matters.

STEP 3

Muscle protein synthesis is the mechanism

This is the biological process your body uses to repair and build muscle tissue after training or physical stress — the exact process the UT Medical Branch study measured.

"Typical proprietary blend supplement" refers to the common industry practice of listing ingredients under a blend name without disclosing individual amounts or citing published research — not any single named competitor product.

The questions a skeptic should ask

The Honest Answers.

The comparative research behind Oh!mino's amino acid ratio is published in The Journal of Nutrition, based on a NASA-supported bedrest study conducted at the University of Texas Medical Branch. That's a named, peer-reviewed publication — not an internal white paper or an unlinked "clinical study" referenced only in ad copy.

Researchers at UT Medical Branch used a bedrest model — a recognized way to study muscle loss by observing what happens to muscle protein under forced physical inactivity, the same type of disuse-atrophy research NASA has used to study astronauts. Within that model, they measured how Oh!mino's essential amino acid ratio affected muscle protein synthesis compared to whey protein and BCAAs.

No — and no dietary supplement is required to be. Oh!mino is a dietary supplement, not an FDA-approved drug. In the brand's own words: "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." The underlying research is published in a peer-reviewed journal, which is a different (and independently verifiable) form of evidence from FDA drug approval — but it does not mean the FDA has evaluated or endorsed these specific claims.

Both figures are gram-for-gram comparative effectiveness measurements from the same published research: Oh!mino's EAA ratio measured 11x more effective than whey protein at driving muscle protein synthesis, and 20x more effective than BCAAs at supporting muscle repair, under the conditions tested in the UT Medical Branch bedrest study. These are comparative efficacy claims from that specific research context, not independent claims about every use case.

Specific raw-material sourcing details (country of origin, supplier names) aren't part of the verified source material available for this page, so we won't guess. What is confirmed and disclosed: the full formula — 9 essential amino acids and 5 electrolytes — is labeled at the ratio it was studied, with no ingredients folded into an undisclosed "proprietary blend."

Independent third-party lab certification details (for example, NSF Certified for Sport) aren't part of the verified source material for this page, so we're not going to claim a specific certification we can't confirm. What we can confirm is the published research citation above and the fully disclosed formula — check the current product label or Ohmino.com for the latest third-party testing status before you buy.
