What are the benefits of Absorb Plus Amino?
- Easy and gentle on your stomach and digestive system
- Daily nutritional support
- Delicious taste - and all natural!
- Feel more energy and sleep better
May be used exclusively as part of an elemental, bowel rest diet (reduced fecal matter), along with other foods as part of a low residue diet, or to provide high-quality nutrients in liquid, easily-digested form. May also be used for food clearance or allergy testing. Absorb Plus Amino has been carefully formulated to meet the unique needs of people who have problems chewing, swallowing, digesting, or absorbing their food. BEST tasting elemental shake on the market!
In addition to 13 grams of free-form amino acids as the protein source, Absorb Plus Amino ALSO contains a custom-blend of 10 additional targeted amino acids, for example:
• L-Serine for the production of immunoglobulins and antibodies
• L-Threonine to aid the formation of collagen and elastin
• L-Cysteine to aid wound healing
• L-Tyrosine to aid the function of pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands
• L-Aspartic Acid to protect the liver
• L-Proline to aid cartilage, and strengthen joints, tendons, and heart muscle
Our vitamin and mineral panel:
• Full panel of trace minerals – trace mineral deficiency is common in chronic illness.
• Also contains 10 mcg Vitamin K2 (as MK-7; first identified by Dr. Weston A. Price as "Activator X") per serving. Along with the full spectrum of B vitamins and Iodine.
• Contains full electrolyte panel.
Formulated to allow people to add their own amount of good fat – since everyone's fat tolerance level varies. We suggest adding 1 tbsp. of MCT oil, or cold-pressed organic flax, or Udo's Choice oil.
The amount of organic tapioca (cassava root) maltodextrin in this formula is lower than in the Original or Vegan formulas (less than half the amount), so it's ideal for people looking to reduce carbohydrate ingestion.The coco-choc natural flavor is completely unsweetened.
The orange-mango natural flavor is lightly sweetened with the stevia herb.
Absorb Plus Amino was formulated by colon and bowel disorder expert Jini Patel Thompson to provide maximum nutrition to help build and strengthen your immune system and allow you to maintain or gain solid weight (muscle, not fat). Absorb Plus Amino provides nutrients, supplements, free-form amino acids, and carbohydrates (organic tapioca maltodextrin - from cassava root) in the most desirable forms and proportions, and in ratios that allow for optimum use and absorption. This liquid diet protein shake also includes an extensive array of therapeutic free-form amino acids, with a superior vitamin and mineral profile (including trace minerals).
There are approximately 10 servings per jar - sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a little bit less as Absorb Plus Amino is packed by weight and there can be some settling during shipping and storage. Start with half a serving and build up gradually, allowing your body time to adjust.
When evaluating competitive free-form amino acid elemental products, be sure to look at how much maltodextrin (and what type) is in each serving as the carbohydrate component varies widely, as does the amount of protein (the most expensive ingredient).

Jini Says +
I love the flavor of this! Rich, dark chocolate, with hints of coconut plus knowing that it is so nutritious and good for me makes it an ideal treat anytime I feel the urge for something chocolatey
I wasn’t sure how this would be since cocoa is problematic for histamine issues, but this didn’t flare me and I really didn’t mind the flavor! My gut has been significantly better, MCAS hasn’t flared, and even symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis seem to be gone. I am slowly reintroducing foods, and haven’t reacted to anything yet. I’m hopeful that the digestive rest this allowed was the relief my body needed to allow it to begin healing.
Love ordering from LTYG. Reliable quality and quick delivery always.
I LOVE the chocolate but this one is sooo gross tasting to me.
Thanks for your honesty! You’re definitely not alone. Amino shakes have a strong taste (even Jini admits it’s not exactly “yummy” 😅). We’re glad you love the Chocolate though! Some people find the Amino better when blended with cocoa or nut milk. Appreciate you giving it a try
I’m told it’s a great and unique product.
I like the taste and the texture.
Shipped on time.
And Jini formulated it( they say)
So if you need it buy it.
The chocolate mixes way better than the fruity one.
The stuff doesn’t taste super good, but mix it with coconut milk and it’s great for keeping you fueled through the day
I did 19 days on the elemental diet, taking CH4 and H2 measurements along the way with a Food Marble device. There was a clear spike in gas leves after taking the this shake, in other words, it seemed to cause fermentation, what the elemental diet is supposed to avoid, at least for SIBO sufferers. I'm a bit disappointed and I still have the tub practically full of this stuff! Stick to the Physicians Formula.
Yes, you are correct, the Coco-Choc flavor contains cocoa powder, which the FDA requires to be listed as 'dietary fiber'. However, as Jini has written before, 'When the cocoa powder is manufactured from fermented cocoa beans (that are then roasted in the correct manner), they will contain only traces of mono- and disaccharides. So it is safe to use on an elemental diet.' If you wish to avoid cocoa powder, you can use the Orange-Mango flavor which has zero dietary fiber. Jini has also written a blog post in response to your comment, with lots more information about the Food Marble hydrogen breath test device. So that may be helpful for you. Thanks again for your feedback. https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/hydrogen-breath-test-for-gut-disorders/
These; products are the only products that I actually see and feel a difference!
I really looked forward to this shake every morning. I mix it with bananas and blueberries and it gives it just the right amount of sweetness. Its easy on the stomach and it fills me up until lunch. Thanks for the shakes!
I realized I don’t like unsweetened :)
After purchasing an entire coarse for SIBO year ago, I swell up like I just ate an entire Thanksgiving meal after only one shake EVERY time I try this formula. Just found out Stevia cannot be easily digested and is NOT recommended for SIBO patients per the leading expert. The chocolate flavor has no Stevia but high fiber, another ingredient not recommended for SIBO patients. If the Stevia and fiber were not in these, then these products would be amazing as the rest of the ingredients are pure and high quality. However, I wasted a year of my life and a large sum of money trying to do an elemental diet with ingredients I now know are NOT recommended for SIBO patients. Hope this review helps other SIBO patients desperately searching for a formula that you can add your own fat to.
We're so sorry you had such a disappointing experience, Heather. I hope you returned the unopened tubs for a full refund. To address your points, yes, you can avoid Stevia if you wish by using the Coco-Choc flavor. But know that Jini has done an in-depth podcast with a Pediatrician (MD) who specializes in elemental diets and he offers the stevia versions to his patients. Also, please know that there is no fiber (polysaccharide) in any of the Absorb Plus shakes. There is a carbohydrate component, - Organic tapioca maltodextrin, which is a glucose polymer. You will find this present in every elemental shake (including Vivonex, which was used in the clinical trial for SIBO) and Physician's Formula. Josh Sabourin over at SIBO Survivor also recommends Absorb Plus Amino to all his followers. I'm sorry you had a reaction/intolerance to the shakes—perhaps you are allergic to a component of them? Jini recently published a YouTube video on how to distinguish between a Herxheimer (pathogen die-off reaction) and an intolerance. Perhaps it would be helpful for you in future endeavours. I wish you all the best.
Like Jini says, it is challenging to find elemental amino acids that actually taste somewhat decent.
I can feel the energy when I take this product and it's a great in between meal snack, or pre-workout energy boost.
Another amazing concoction for those with crohn's and other stomach issues.
Try a sample before you buy it I didn't like the mango as much as I did the chocolate.
I also don't rely on these when I'm trying to gain weight, but if that's not your issue, then Absorb Plus Amino is gold.
I have obstructive GI surgical adhesions that will interfere with a much needed Liver Biopsy. These adhesions delay GI emptying =/
Amino plus Orange Mango to the rescue!!
It will create less matter in my gut decreasing my risk factors IMMENSELY during this procedure.
Thanks for this excellent quality product that tastes great!
The shakes don't bother my stomach, which is great, but the taste is so monumentally disgusting that I can't even finish the drink. It tastes like pureed peas floating in tang. Truly so awful I couldn't finish the glass.
We appreciate your time in providing feedback on Absorb Plus Amino, and Jini agrees! Elemental shakes with only amino acids have a decidedly 'unique' flavor due to the aminos. However, if you taste some of the other amino acid formulas on the market, you will realize Absorb Plus Amino is a lot better-tasting than anything else out there. But this is why she recommends Absorb Plus Original or Absorb Plus Vegan if you do not require a strictly amino acid elemental shake.
Thanks again for your feedback. We have emailed you to provide some free samples of these other, far more palatable, semi-elemental versions. Regards,
Drinkable, doesn’t taste much mango
Not bad for unsweetened🙂. Very bitter, but I liked the coconut taste
