Lifelong natty (before TRT at age 50) so I always used Amino's. EAA's have both inside (EAA/BCAA).
Does it do jack shit?? Who knows. But I know Aminos "might" be helpful. (Probably mainly for recovery).
And there's no need to spend a ton on them. Some brands are very price-friendly.
EVL is practically free...
