Not only are most protein powders full of toxic fillers, herbicide residues like glyphosate, and indigestible protein forms, they're also very badly utilized as actual protein.
What that means is, instead of being used fully as protein to build muscle, protein powders are actually over 80% converted to sugar in the body. This triggers fat storage and prevents fat loss. Or at least makes it much harder than it needs to be.
So while you're working hard and eating clean to get a flat stomach and slim thighs, or increase your strength and lean muscle, or just tone your body -- the protein you thought was helping you was actually the largest contributor to that excess body fat you keep trying to lose.
You see, when you consume protein or collagen, it doesn't just go into your body, get broken down into "protein molecules" or "collagen peptides" and then go where needed. In fact, neither protein or collagen are used directly as protein or collagen by the body - no matter what their source.
Instead, the body looks at any protein or collagen as just a bunch of bundled up amino acids to be broken down into individual amino acids.
It then takes from these the essential amino acids (amino acids your body can't produce on its own) and uses these to make new protein and collagen in the form humans need it in and then sends it where needed.
But... in order to do this it must have ALL of the essential amino acids (EAAs), and in the right ratio one to another - not just one of each. If it doesn't... it can't. It's that simple.
Any excess amino acids that couldn't be paired are converted to glucose (sugar) which triggers fat storage. And in the case of whey, pea, soy and collagen powders... well, that's 80% or more.
Most protein powders are less than 80% utilized as protein, mainly being converted to sugar,which triggers fat storage. That's why you constantly have to diet.
This is because the body requires each of the essential amino acids to be present and in an exact ratio to build new protein.
Whey, pea and soy proteins are only 18% utilized. The other 82-84% is converted to fats or sugars.
BCAAs do not contain all of the essential amino acids and so cannot build new protein. They are almost completely converted to sugar or fat.
PerfectAmino is pure, essential amino acids. Nothing else. It is 99% utilized for protein and collagen building.
One serving of PerfectAmino is the protein equivalent of 30 grams of whey. But, instead of 120 calories, it has only 2 calories.
PerfectAmino will not break a fast or take you out of ketosis.

You see, every plant or animal has its own specific essential amino acid needs in different amounts. And this is no different for the human body.
So what we get from these different sources isn't necessarily the ratio and amounts that we need, as each source has a different amount and ratio to give.
For example, whey, pea and soy proteins are only 16%-18% essential amino acids in the correct ratio one to another that the human body can use to make new protein and collagen. The rest are non-essential amino acids that aren't used or "extra" essential amino acids that couldn't be paired.
This means that only 18% of whey is actually used to make new protein... The rest is converted to sugar. This excess sugar, if it can't be immediately used, then triggers fat storage.
Now, some people will say that if you only have some of the EAAs then these will be mixed with other EAAs from other sources. This isn't true for one main reason: Your body can't store amino acids for later use. It can store fat. It can store sugars in the form of glycogen. But it has no way to store amino acids.
Amino acids will stay in the blood stream for only about 2-3 hours before being converted to sugar if they can't be paired with other essential amino acids.
This means two things: 1) We're not getting nearly as much actual protein as we think, and 2) We have a large source of hidden sugars in our diet - not very helpful when trying to get lean and healthy.
PerfectAmino is pure Essential Amino Acids and nothing else. And it's in a ratio that allows for 99% utilization as protein and collagen. In fact, one serving of PerfectAmino is the protein equivalent of 30 grams of whey, pea or collagen. But instead of the 120 calories - it has 2.
This makes it perfect for preventing muscle loss during Intermittent fasting as it can be taken before a workout without breaking a fast.
It's also in a form that is fully absorbed into the blood stream in an average of 23 minutes. So, if taken 20-30 minutes before a workout, it will be present in the bloodstream and able to help repair micro-tears in the muscle as they occur, improving energy and endurance as well as much faster recoveries and lean gains.
PerfectAmino is 100% vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Soy-Free and Dairy-Free.
It has no fillers, coatings or additives, just pure essential amino acids. It quite literally is the perfect protein and collagen for the human body, helping to build new protein and collagen for muscle, skin, hair, bones, nerves, endocrine function, ligaments, tendons and much more.

The difference between essential and non-essential amino acids isn't that any are actually less "essential" than others. It's that your body cannot produce the ones called "essential amino acids" on its own. It HAS to get them from outside sources.
But, when it gets all of the essential amino acids from an outside source, then it can use them to make any of the other "non-essential" amino acids it needs.
But they have to be in the right ratio. What do I mean by that?
It's not as simple of having one of each. More of some are needed and less of others. A bicycle has 2 tires, 1 frame, 1 handle bar, 1 chain, 2 brakes and 1 seat. You need all of those to make a bike, but a tire or handle bar won't make you another whole bike. So if you had 3 wheels to start with you'd be left with an extra you couldn't use. And that's the problem.
The same is true when dealing with amino acids. too much of one or another cannot be used and is excess. Similarly, excess non-essential amino acids are almost wholly not utilized. Only what the body NEEDS is used.
And as the body can't store amino acids for use later, to pair them with new amino acids coming in, it has two choices. It can convert them to direct energy, glucose (blood sugar), and then eliminate them via the kidneys and urine, or it can store them as fat.
The main thing that determines which it does is metabolism. How much excess sugar can the body burn?
That's why as we get older it's easier to gain body fat and harder to lose it. Our metabolism is slower. So if it's given low-utilization proteins like whey then more starts being converted to fats and less to sugars to be burned.
But when given the all of the Essential Amino Acids in the exact ratio, no matter the age it can put them all to use.
So how do different protein sources score as far as utilization rates?
As these cannot on their own be turned into protein for the body without the other essential amino acids, they are almost wholly useless at 1%. This takes into account any excess EAAs in the blood stream from other protein sources.
Whey, Soy and Pea Powders. These average between 16-18% utilization with the rest being converted to glucose or fats. High levels of these and/or BCAAs cause trouble for the kidneys and are responsible for that ammonia smell some people get in their sweat or urine.
Collagen Powder rates vary depending on the different types or amounts of amino acids added to them. They range anywhere from 16-30% utilization.
Red Meats, Fish and Poultry are utilized at 32%.
And Whole Eggs are utilized at 48%. Note they must be whole eggs. the whites, sometimes taken alone to avoid fats, are utilized at 16%.
PerfectAmino, as it is pure Essential Amino Acids in an exact ratio -- and nothing else -- is utilized at 99%. This is according to blood and urine tests.
And since they are almost completely utilized, there is virtually no waste and only 2 calories per serving.
It was found that you see significant muscle-preserving effects from essential amino acid supplements when ingested, especially during training in a fasted or ketotic state. This includes decreased indicators of muscle damage and maintenance of a healthy inflammatory response. [1]
This means that if you took some essential amino acids, and consumed nothing else, you wouldn’t “cannibalize” as much lean muscle during a fasted workout session.
It would be the same for working out during or after a long intermittent fast, a bout of ketosis, a marathon, Ironman Triathlon or any other long event.
Then there is the study showing that consuming an essential amino acid mix after intense resistance training actually increased muscle protein growth and net muscle protein balance, indicating that taking these essential amino acids post-workout may stimulate faster muscle repair, recovery and growth. [2]
Another study showed the potential for these Essential Amino Acids to cause muscle growth and regeneration because they are a potent rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activator (activates cell growth), causing muscle satellite cell proliferation (for healing after injury). This gives them similar muscle building potential as to a large steak, but WITHOUT the large number of calories, preparation time or digestive strain.[3]
Also, as you get older, your muscles produce less, or have a delayed ability to proliferate satellite cells in response to exercise. This is bad, especially when considering that satellite cells are essential for skeletal-muscle regeneration. However, it was found that those who consumed these Essential Amino Acids after resistance exercise had a far greater satellite cell proliferation capacity than those who didn’t supplement. [4] This is very important, especially if you're interested in anti-aging, since muscle mass and resistance training keep you young. Lastly, there was a study with a 51 year old female who walked across the Taklimakan desert in China, consuming these Essential Amino Acids as her ONLY protein source. She finished the trek in 24 days after which she underwent numerous tests concluding that she showed no muscle loss and was in excellent health.
Ketosis is a state wherein your body switches to fat-burning for fuel. This is good, but many people who experiment with Ketosis, or carbohydrate restriction, experience muscle loss (catabolism) as a result.
There are two reasons for this: 1) Inadequate levels of amino acids from protein and 2) Many people, in their effort to attain ketosis, mistakenly restrict protein consumption so as not to spike their blood glucose and thus they are thrown out of ketosis.
Sticking to a low-carb diet (or fasting) can actually be much easier when essential amino acids are present.
For starters, EAAs won’t break your state of ketosis, unlike major food sources of protein like steak and eggs. EAAs also allow you to maintain and build muscle — something you simply can't do with BCAAs alone.
And, with only four calories in a 5-tablet serving of PerfectAmino, all in the right forms and ratios and 99% utilized, they won’t turn into sugar and they won’t spike your levels.
Lastly, as PerfectAmino enters your blood stream within 23 minutes, it can be consumed during a strict, fat-based ketosis diet as a primary source of protein throughout the day for energy and performance. This strategy can significantly help one remain in ketosis while performing at a very high level.
PerfectAmino is the ideal protein supplement. It is beneficial not only for Crossfitters and biohackers, but also for those interested in daily health and performance, those suffering from chronic illness, individuals recovering from injury or surgery, seniors interested in prevention of muscle loss, mothers wanting to ensure their breast milk has the nutrients their child needs to grow strong and healthy, childhood illness and physical conditions, and many others.
Essential amino acids are literally the building blocks of the body, without which the body cannot properly heal. Thus their effect is quite far-reaching.
PerfectAmino is a pure, vegan supplement that contains all 8 essential amino acids. Each one is essential, meaning you must obtain it from a food source - your body will not produce it.
Here's what each of those amino acids does:
TRYPTOPHAN - Encourages the release of vital neurotransmitters and hormones for mood and sleep, such as serotonin and melatonin.*
LYSINE -If deficient, may result in a niacin deficiency (Vitamin B), as well as slow connective tissue repair.*
METHIONINE - Supplies sulfur and the other compounds you need for optimum metabolism and growth.*
VALINE - Needed for your muscle fibers to fire, for tissue repair, and for the maintenance of proper nitrogen balance in the body.*
LEUCINE - Stimulates muscle protein synthesis and may be the dominant fuel involved in anabolic (tissue building) reactions.*
ISOLEUCINE - Essential for blood sugar regulation, muscle development and repair, and energy regulation.*
THREONINE - Crucial for antibody production, immune system activity, and can be converted into glycine and serine.*
PHENYLALANINE - Stimulates the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, which are necessary substances for optimum activity of your central and peripheral nervous systems.*
As you can see, each of the essential amino acids have specific functions for your body. They are very important and you need to have them in your system, ready for use.
PerfectAmino tablets have no binders, coatings, fillers, or anything else — just the amino acids themselves.
1 tablet of PerfectAmino is precisely 1 gram of PURE protein. In comparison, 1 tablet would be equivalent to 6 grams of whey protein, 3 grams of meat protein, or 2 grams of egg protein. But with none of the hormones, GMOs, carbs or calories!
PerfectAmino is vegan sourced, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free and is extremely clean and pure.
Taking 5-10 grams of PerfectAmino every day is recommended. It will be in your system within 23 minutes or less. On days you are doing resistance training, or if you’re not feeling well, take another 5-10. And if you’re training extremely hard, or if you’re recovering from surgery, take yet another 5-10. Just don’t exceed 30 in a day — PerfectAmino is very potent.
More on Protein and How Your Body Use It
None of this is to say that protein from food is all bad. There is nothing wrong with going out for dinner or eating eggs in the morning. You should still consume dietary foods.
But it is important to know what happens to food when you consume it.
There are two pathways in the body. Catabolic and anabolic. In simple terms, Catabolic means un-used or wasted and Anabolic means simply used.
So when you eat a chicken breast, 32% of the amino acids from it get used (Anabolic). They are broken down and reconstituted as new muscle in your bicep, or tendons, skin, etc.
But 68%, after being broken down, are not able to be used (Catabolic) as the necessary ratios of each of the amino acids are not present. These leftovers are turned into nitrogen waste and eliminated from the body.
PerfectAmino is 99% anabolic. It is ALL used.
Start Taking PerfectAmino NOW. You’ll be glad you did.
I am 100% certain you can benefit from taking this perfect blend of amino acids, regardless of your fitness or health goals.
I take it every day and certainly would not recommend it to people who are literally dying of chronic illness if I didn’t believe in it 100%.
I want you to get started with this and see for yourself. You will be glad you did.
And within 90 days, if you don’t feel that it works for you, that you don’t have increased muscle mass, decreased muscle loss and the benefits I mention above, I will give you your money back.

From Those That Use It Every Day
I was skeptical about PerfectAmino at first, but after deciding to give it a shot I came around. I began using it shortly after beginning a strength training program, first four times and then six times a week. Most days I take two scoops in the morning right before or after my workout, then two more before bed. I’ve found that since taking PerfectAmino regularly I have almost no muscle soreness, even with such frequent strength training, feel less tired with the same amount of sleep, and it even seems to help prevent or dispel hangovers after nights when I’ve had a few more than a drink or two. The taste took some getting used to but after several months I enjoy it. I plan to continue using this product indefinitely.
"What can give you better than 99% net nitrogen utilization? Nothing. I was lucky enough to get the Limited Edition 784g Perfect AminoXP powder mixed berry flavor. Considering how difficult it is to get pure amino acids to taste good, this product has exceeded my expectations. I have no problem taking it in a little bit of water or juice. Even though amino acids don't dissolve very well, once I mix this powder with a spoon for a little bit, it's good enough for me. Will be making this part of my regular dietary routine to supply my body with the best amino acid combination and the highest utilization available."
Finishing my 2nd container of Perfect AminoXP and my results are visible. Even my husband is going to use it with me on our next order! I'm 43 with 2 young kids and I'm a group fitness instructor and nothing was improving my fitness. I eat clean 80/20, fast in the mornings, not a big drinker and I eat pretty balanced meals and I drink a designer protein daily. I started taking my second container of AMINO XP daily by the book and BOOM RESULTS! I gained 10 lbs over the Holidays and my extra bulk turned into muscle wow and I'm still a size 6 and 148 lbs instead of a scrawny 142 lbs. I also have visible tight glutes! My running pace has improved tremendously! Yes this is designed to improve muscle tone, energy before workouts, helps with recovery and my skin is glowing! My nails and hair look great! Thank You BODYHEALTH for this safe, reliable product. Pro tip: Take it on recovery days too!!!!!! Learned my Lesson 🤗
"Body Health Perfect Amino XP Powder is at the top of our family list of must-have health supplements! We love Perfect Amino and won't be without it, whether we are training hard in the gym or taking daily walks in the neighborhood. It's the best source of essential amino acids out there."
I’ve only been using PerfectAmino for a month, but I am noticing a faster recovery time between workouts with less soreness. I take it before my 5:30 am workout, and I love that it doesn’t break a fast since I do intermittent fasting and don’t eat until 9. I am definitely getting more!
I take the PerfectAmino twice each day. I love the increase in energy and stamina I get when I take it before the workout. I have also noticed more power, leanness, and muscle development in the four weeks I have been taking the product.
