Renal Disease Protein Support
FundAminos™
Fundaminos™ is a clinically-proven ratio of essential and branched chain amnio acid proteins; 99% waste-free bio-assimilation--no digestion required. Numerous clinical trails show amino acids therapy can significantly reduce the metabolic stress and nitrogen and uric strain of dietary nourishment of proteins in renal patients for improved treatment efficacy, kidney function, and general health. In addition, Fundaminos™ provides mitochondrial support for improved healing and cellular energy.

Science supporting FundAminos™
FUNDAMINOS™ is targeting optimal protein synthesis for renal patient success. Its mechanism of action explores the biological requirement for amino acids and synthesis of body proteins and other important nitrogen-containing compounds. The clinical benefits of amino acids therapy has been demonstrated in a chronic and an acute gold-standard clinical studies for renal patients and general populations with great success for bone, muscle and tissue, hormonal, recovery, neuronal and energy support.
FUNDAMINOS™ is a clinically-proven essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids supplement created through a patented enzymatic bio-digestion of organic plant substrates.
Bioactive compounds: NutriAminos™ (BCAA [Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine], Lysine. Phenylalanine, Threonine, Methionine, Tyrotophan) CherryPure® (Montmorency Tart Cherry Powder), ActiGin® (Ginseng Extract, Rose Fruit Extract)
Natural Flavor: Natural Fruit Flavors. Organic Fruit (Apple, Blueberry, Raspberry, Maqui Berry, Pomegranate, Strawberry, Cranberry), Malic acid, Citric Acid, Salt, Stevia RebA (leaf)
Recommended Daily Dosage: 2 scoops twice per day total 20 grams
FUNDAMINOS™ contributes to the production and reinforcement off the body's cellular processes and functions including hormone, tissue, and DNA syntheses.
FUNDAMINOS™ are based on clinically published research with 50% of the blend being Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine with all 8 of the essential amino acids required by teens and adults for healthy, essential protein syntheses.
FUNDAMINOS™ in-house nitrogen retention studies show that, after 3 days of protein sparing, participants showed 4 times more effective protein status than whey protein and almost 99% utilized for anabolic purposes. In addition, FUNDAMINOS™ can help:
FUNDAMINOS™ provide an additional mechanism of action with high value, low cost fuel for efficient mitochondria functions and production. It can optimize patient vitality with improved ATP production, and help support mitigation of risk factors associated with mitochondria-based apoptosis inactivity and protect against such related diseases.
FUNDAMINOS™ regulation of renal apoptosis with optimizing mitochondria may also improve the outcomes of a multitude of treatment protocols for a very wide reach of populations through proper renal cell health and messaging.
Amino acid therapy plus Keto Acids helps to significantly improve protein supplementation risk for renal patients and retard kidney disease progression.
A retrospective cohort study.
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Phramongkutklao Hospital and College of Medicine, Bangkok, Thailand
The patient’s data from August 2010 and January 2015. The 12 month observations from January 2015.
140 patients with CKD stage III or IV.
One group (n = 70) was on a low protein diet (LPD) with 0.6 g of protein intake, and another group (n = 70) was on a very low protein diet (VLPD) with 0.3 g of protein and KA/EAA supplementation of 100 mg/kg/day for 12 months.
VLPD supplementation with KA/EAA is associated with delayed renal progression while preserving the nutritional status in the patients with CKD. Co-administration of VLPD and KA/EAA may prove an effective alternative to conservative management of CKD.
Amino acids support conservative long-term treatment of chronic renal failure with keto acid supplementation.
A controlled cohort study.
Department of Internal Medicine, Wilhelm-Pieck-University, Rostock, GDR
October 14th, 1987. The mean duration of dietary treatment in this study was 19 months (6-64 months).
119 patients with advanced chronic renal failure (serum creatinine level 733 +/- 186 mumol/l)
The effect of a low-protein diet supplemented with essential amino acids (EAA) or their keto analogues (KA) on uremic metabolism and rehabilitation status was investigated. The protein intake amounted to 0.4 g/kg B.W./day, the phosphorus intake 0.4-0.6 g/day and the energy supply 120-150 kJ/kg B. W./day. In 51 patients there was a substitution with EAA and in 68 patients with their KA.
Despite advanced chronic renal failure there was a good degree of rehabilitation (full-time work: 21%; part-time work: 66.4%). It can be concluded that a low-protein diet supplemented with EAA or KA can improve the uremic metabolism, rehabilitation status and safely postpone the start of maintenance dialysis.

Clinical review of FundAminos™:
"Fundaminos has been an invaluable nutritional resource for both my high level athletes and clinical patients to ensure adequate protein intake in a safe and effective way." - Dr. Richard Cohen, M.D.
"I use FundAminos as a fast, efficient and effortless way to ensure that my daily protein requirements are met. It's an ideal choice for anyone who lacks--or must limit--their intake of dietary protein. The research is sound, safe, and verified. It's an absolute daily essential and something I also highly recommend for my clients, especially those with kidney challenges." Jackie Cruickshank, Registered Dietitian
"1 scoop equals 20 grams protein. Research shows that 99% of essential amino acids are absorbed and utilized by the body, significantly healthier for those with kidney concerns. It's an amino acids product that tastes great which is also 100% vegan, 100% all natural, and contains no caffeine, fillers, or additives." - Dr. John Cartwright, PhD.

I think I may like it although it’s a bit grainy and chalky however I sent a correspondence and no one responded as I needed to know what sugar content was with This and nowhere is it to be found on the package.
Hi, did you not get our email? We have 0 sugar in the FundAminos Blend. I'll send you another email just to make sure you got it. Thanks.
This BCAA powder is the best I have found.
It dissolves well, and tastes good. No sour taste or waste product left in the glass.
This is my goto supp for pre-wkout, post-wkout, and early AM’s on recovery days and/or days I wake up with low energy. For pre-wkout, I include it to build my own approximation of MassPro Synthagen X2(tm). For post-wkout, I’ve starting topping it off with other isolated aminos... extra glutamine , hmb (hey never needed it when I was young, but now I’m old :) ), etc , etc. Have never gotten around to testing replacing food proteins with FUNDAMINOS on some days, or to use it pre-fasts or to break fasts... but have a suspicion both those might help with metabolic ‘cleansing’ functions, inflammation, etc. So testimonial = I don’t see how ANYONE could go wrong including FUNDAMINOS in their supp. protocols... it’s excellent stand alone... but is also an excellent base for all sorts of nutritional cocktails... plus it’s yummy too.

Thank you very much for the review!
In a simple mix with a little water and blueberries, this is a great way to have a quick drink to recover after a workout. Post-workout muscles crave protein and if taken within thirty minutes its probably the healthiest option to provide the muscles the protein they crave for recovery.
Thank you very much for the review!
great
Love!
