alt Hacker NewsIt looks it contains mostly amino acids and vitamins, usually found in other fitness supplements. Is there any "secret sauce" that I am missing?

The secret sauce, so to say, is that it's not a supplement, it's all you eat for the duration of the treatment. As someone who was on a liquid only diet for six weeks following a surgery, I can't imagine this being anything short of absolutely miserable.
It’s amino acids, fats, and sugar in a ratio that mirrors the elements of a standard diet.
It’s not a supplement. It has to replace your diet completely for 2 weeks, no exceptions.
By consuming amino acids instead of proteins (which are composed of amino acids) and omitting fiber it starves skips straight to absorption and starves the bacterial overgrowth.
It’s an old concept. The unique part of this one is that it supposedly tastes okay.
