What sets this product apart is its diverse amino acid profile. Whether I'm engaging in intense weightlifting or endurance training, I trust that Superior Amino 2222 provides the necessary support for my muscles to recover and thrive. I've noticed a significant reduction in post-workout soreness since incorporating these tablets into my regimen.
Another aspect I appreciate is the convenience of tablet form. It's easy to toss a few into my gym bag or keep them at my desk for a mid-day pick-me-up. Plus, they're quickly absorbed, making them ideal for pre, intra, or post-workout consumption.
Optimum Nutrition's commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of this product. From the carefully selected ingredients to the rigorous manufacturing standards, I feel confident in what I'm putting into my body. Additionally, the 2222 count ensures that I'm getting a substantial dose of EAAs without having to consume multiple servings.
Overall, I can't recommend Optimum Nutrition Superior Amino 2222 Tablets enough. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, these tablets provide essential support for optimal performance and recovery. Give them a try—you won't be disappointed!
After further use, I finally found the best way to take them without choking yourself. Grind them up in a blade coffee grinder. We use one for other herbs and stuff. They grind up into a fine, chalky consistency that will kind of billow like smoke. I then put the equivalent of 2 tablets (or more) into smoothies and protein shakes for an amino boost. It is virtually tasteless, but a bit chalky; adding cinnamon helps, too. I still maintain that these are too large for any normal person. Once these are gone I'm going to experiment with different BCAA or Essential Amino powders and continue to use in smoothies and protein shakes.
UPDATE:
My initial review stands...these tablets are too large for any normal person, and I would not consider myself normal as I have a high threshold for swallowing pills. I was so shocked that these were even sold, that I emailed ON customer support, and here's the response I got from them:
"Thank you for choosing Optimum Nutrition and we are sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience with your last purchase of Amino 2222 Tabs. While we do not claim the Amino 2222 Tabs are easy for everyone to swallow, they have been scored during the manufacturing process to make it easier for consumers of the product to break the tablets in half and consume in two separate portions. We would certainly recommend this option as well as the consumption of these (and any other tablet or capsule products) with plenty of water.
We encourage you to contact the retailer who sold you the product regarding their returns and exchange policies in the event you elect to discontinue use of the Amino 2222 Tab product. If you choose to exchange the product, we invite you to consider ON's Amino Capsules or Softgels instead, which are smaller in size and encapsulated, and so may be better suited to your consumption preferences."
So, basically their solution is to score them in half. Well, bad news ON, they are still too thick and trying that still got one stuck in my throat and almost choked me!
They also refused to exchange them, but instead offered me a sample of another product.
The only redeeming value to them is that they are easy to crush up with the bottom of a glass, and I can add them to my protein. They are somewhat chalky but tasteless. I won't throw them away now.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I am totally amazed that these supplements are even allowed on the market. There is no way that any normal or even superhuman can possibly swallow 2 of these pills 3x per day. No way. I can swallow a handful of pills in one sitting with limited water, but these are absolutely HUGE and dangerous in my opinion.
If you wrote a review saying these tablets are not bad to swallow, then you are doing a disservice to your fellow humans. Do NOT ignore the bad reviews. These pills are HORRIBLE! I'm calling the manufacturer because they need to pull these from their offerings. Wow, I can't believe this.
