Darlene and I both use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and have for years. I’ve looked into this and to the best of my knowledge Braggs Liquid Aminos and Braggs All Purpose Seasoning is the exact same thing. One is the US version and one is the Canadian Version. Because we use Braggs so much, I thought I’d post this here on the blog so that we can refer to it when needed. Braggs is a healthy replacement product for Soy Sauce.

Where Do You Get Braggs Liquid Aminos
Of course the next logical question is where do you buy this stuff? It’s available anywhere natural foods are sold and that’s just about anywhere now. I get mine here in Edmonton at my local Planet Organic store. There are two Planet Organic stores in Edmonton, one at Jasper and 122st and the other at 80 ave and 104 st, next to Blockbuster Video. It’s also available in the natural food section of Save-on-Foods and probably at Safeway. Darlene and I buy the small pump version shown here so that we can control the amount that we put on our foods. Then we buy the larger bottle and use it to refill the pump bottle. We store the small pump bottle in the fridge and the large bottle in our pantry without worry of it going bad. I really don’t know why we keep the small bottle in the fridge, just habit I guess.

Rob,
Bragg’s is not a fermented soy product. Check their website: “Not fermented or heated and Gluten-Free.” http://www.bragg.com/products/la.html
Basically, Bragg’s is what many Chinese call “chemical soy sauce.” Its a cheap product and Bragg’s is only superior to them in that they do not add color or flavorings, but it is essentially the same thing.
Just wanted to mention that Earth’s General Store offers Bragg’s Liquid Aminos as a bulk refill. Just bring in your old bottle (or any other bottle) and we can refill it for you. You don’t save a whole lot (about 50 cents for a bottle) but you do avoid tossing another bottle away.
We also have the Bragg’s organic Cider Vinegar in bulk as well for refilling.
Just so everyone is AWARE: Bragg’s Liquid Aminos are NOT a FERMENTED soy product. It is hydrolyzed…and truly some tastey stuff indeed.
Braggs Liquid Aminos is most certainly not healthy for you. Avoid it at all costs.
Rob, how can you claim Braggs is fermented, when as Kelly Baird pointed out above, it says right on the label ‘NOT Fermented’? Which is the major problem with it.
i have had the sleeve stomach surgery and i am having a hard time getting enough protein is amino acid good for that.my hair is falling out so i have to find something. thanks
Rob, unfortunately, you’ve been taken in big time by their marketing! So easy to look at something that claims to be part of a “healthy lifestyle”. Just recently, I, too, purchased some liquid aminos but after doing some research have found it to be just the opposite of healthy. I’m poor so I’ll use the remaining half of the 1 quart bottle but will never purchase it again. Remember a “claim” is very different than a “statement of fact”. Liquid Aminos is not very different from soy sauce and has more salt to boot. I had all but eliminated added salt from my diet (vegan) and after just a short time using Liquid Aminos, have almost become addicted to it. I have started adding salt back to my cooked foods. So it’s definitely habit forming and sneaky Liquid Aminos is to blame. Their serving size is VERY misleading. So much for being a trusted partner in a healthy lifestyle. VERY deceptive practice. I’m no longer going to use it and recommend you become more objective and skeptical about the foods you eat and go more towards natural, unprocessed whole foods.
I have blood pressure can I have liqiud Amino ?
