Alright, I found this wonderful product about a week ago.
bodybuilding.com/store/univ/100-beef-aminos.html
It's cheap, it has a great variety and amount of amino acids (look at the arginine!), and it's in pill form so it's very convenient. It came in the mail yesterday and I'm really excited about trying it out today BUT, I just noticed some tricky wording in the nutrition facts that makes me wonder if it's really all that great. "Typical Amino Acid Profile / Grams Of Amino Acids In 100g Of Beef Protein". Now I understand that each serving (2 pills) is about 3g of beef protein, so does that mean I have to take 33 servings (66 pills/100g protein) to get the amount of amino acids that are listed? I looked everywhere and I couldn't find a definite answer. I was wondering if someone could help me out or share their thoughts.
THANKS!

Good stuff, for sure. I use the Uni-Liver pills, very similar. Dig - many companies will list the aminos in terms of 100g for simplicity's sake. As you know, it's a supplement to your normal daily protein and BCAA intake... if someone was to actually ingest 100g of protein via beef amino pills, I would hope they'd run a log with detailed descriptions of the unquestionably epic bowel movements that would result.
EDIT: Don't worry about it, bruder - nothing shady about the presentation there. It's standard industry practice - much more convenient to read and calculate.
FURTHER EDIT: For what it's worth, I take two or three Uni-Livers with each meal.

Ive used Uni-liver for years to fortify my meals and ill probably try the beef amino's down the road. I personally see and feel a difference in my physique and performance in my performance. Lately ive been using MAP ( Maximum Absorbed Protein ) with meals as it taste like juice and im using that to create a more anabolic environment.

100% Beef Aminos are a convenient, economical way to supplement your diet with beef protein.
It's one of the best bang for your buck supplements available.
Here is a good read on it:

I dunno man, Carnivore protein powder scared me away from anything beef... I mean anything that isn't a steak, burger or jerky that is
a bit off topic but has anyone tried Dymatize Primal? is it disgusting or what?"I'm Mr. Beast, the big bad Fenris wolf, I'm The-End-of-the-World-Man, wearing the flesh of fallen angels!" - Jack Lupino

Disagree. FFAA diff than intact proteins in Uni-Liver. Diff purpose, diff goals. Besides, Uni-Liver is more than just a source of aminos.
Calcium is listed on the label, 12%.
I've used Uni-Liver for years and it's been a staple. I started mixin' in 100% Beef Aminos and I like it. Now I'm combin' both.
You will like it it ya like Uni-Liver. Consider combining 'em like I do.New & Improved Universal Rep, For Universal
