This is just a crystalline amino acid solution with electrolytes; nothing more. I study in the field of nutrition and don't believe any supplement can compare to whole food nutrition; especially fresh fruits and vegetables. It is important to know that ALL whole foods contain amino acids in various quantities. The problem with supplements is that these certain nutrients are extracted from their whole food form and you are left without all the other enzymes, vitamins and minerals in that food that aid in digestion and also help other bodily functions as opposed to just doing one thing. Think of it as having a really souped up BMW and none of the special features work except being able to drive it.

It is also important to know that in the world of nutrition, more does not always mean better. Whole foods contain a specific amount of certain nutrients in the RIGHT quantities/ratios for us to absorb (supplementing only creates imbalances, unless you are severely deficient in a given nutrient; which is hard to do unless you are starving yourself or not eating any variety of foods).
There are also millions of other trace minerals and nutrients that scientists haven't even identified and cannot reproduce, therefore rendering a supplement near useless, as it does not contain those unidentified nutrients that play various roles in digestion and other means.

You probably weren't expecting an answer like this, but I hope it helps shed some light on things for you.
