Now in two flavors and eco-friendly bags!
Scientifically Formulated by Dr. David Minkoff, PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is a medical food product.
PERFECT AMINO™: Has been powering the world’s most competitive performance athletes for over a decade. Protein makes up your body’s entire functional structure: bones, muscles, cells, and enzymes. And without the building blocks of protein, your health, your performance, your quality of life suffers. With a utilization rate of over 99%, this is the best possible source for all your body’s needs.
MCT Oil: Your body metabolizes medium-chain triglycerides into ketones, which are the most efficient energy source for your body and brain. A few grams of MCTs are like rocket fuel for your whole system and keep you energized, focused, and full. Our high-quality MCT oil consists of only caprylic (C8) and capric acids (C10), the two most effective MCTs there are.

Carb10: Carbohydrates are the fastest source of biofuel for our bodies and are essential for maintaining your energy throughout the day. Unfortunately, most carbs spike your blood sugar and insulin, crashing your energy levels and promoting fat accumulation. Carb10, which is derived from peas, is the latest innovation in nutrition. Its unique structure allows for easy absorption and quick energy without raising insulin or blood sugar levels—all the energy and benefits without any of the downsides.

Vitamins and Minerals: Dr. Minkoff formulated this unique blend with 22 essential vitamins and minerals necessary to keep your system running smoothly. This blend includes a full complement of essential B-vitamins, selenium, and magnesium, just to name a few. And because PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal includes MCT oil, fat-soluble vitamins like A and K are actually absorbed and used by your body, unlike most multivitamins.
Superfood Blend: 11 different superfoods full of antioxidants and phytonutrients give you the nutrition you need for optimal health and peak performance. PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal includes moringa powder and wheatgrass juice, two of the most nutrient-dense plants in the world, along with cacao, green tea powder, spirulina, and saw palmetto. This blend supports all of your biological processes from energy and mental focus to hormonal balance and stress management.*
Mix one scoop of PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal into 14 ounces of water, almond milk, or your favorite substitute and power on! Enjoy for breakfast, before a workout, or for an afternoon pick-me-up. Throw it in a blender with your favorite smoothie ingredients to SUPERCHARGE your protein shake!
Do not use other protein supplements at the same times as PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal, as it will reduce the effectiveness of the PERFECT AMINO™ formula.

MCTs and the Sustainable Energy Revolution
There is a revolution underway that is completely changing how we thinking about sustainable energy. No, not solar or wind. Not tidal power or even small-scale hydro. This is energy to keep you powered...
A: A full serving of PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal contains a tremendous amount of nutrition and comes out to 48.4g, which is approximately one full scoop. However, because PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal contains MCTs, you should start slow to allow your digestive system to adjust. Sometimes if MCTs are introduced too quickly to your system, loose stool and gas can occur. We recommend you begin with a half scoop at first and work your way up to a full scoop to minimize potential discomfort.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is a complete source of nutrition and energy and can be taken at any time of the day. Have a shake for breakfast, for lunch, a midday pick-me-up, or after a workout.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is 100% plant and vegetable derived from ethical sources. Because of the potential amino acid deficiencies that can occur in vegetarian and vegan diets, PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is an excellent choice for anyone on a plant-based diet. We encouraged you to try it and enjoy the complete nutrition and well-rounded diet of this delicious meal replacement.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is a complete and balanced nutrition source on its own. Additional protein supplements should be taken either an hour before or 30 minutes after PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal so as not to interfere with the scientifically determined amino acid ratio that ensures maximum utilization and efficiency.
A: The amino acids in PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal are derived from plant-based sources that are broken down and separated into free-form amino acids, resulting in pure, pharmaceutical-grade amino acids. There are no remaining plant residues or sugars, yeast, gluten, soy, corn, wheat, rice, preservatives or excipients. PERFECT AMINO™ is vegan sourced and produced in FDA registered, cGMP Certified facilities in the USA.
A: Coconut oil contains 62-65% medium-chain triglycerides or MCTs. However, there are four types of MCTs, and there is a significant metabolic difference between them. MCTs are a form of fats with carbon chains between 6 and 12 carbon atoms long: C6, C8, C10, and C12. The most impressive health and energy benefits come with caproic acid (C8) and caprylic acid (C10), which comprises PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal’s MCT oil ingredient. These are absorbed directly into cells and converted into the bioenergy currency of ATP in only three steps. Lauric acid (C12) is processed by the liver, not by tissue cells like C8 and C10 MCTs. Thus, while lauric acid is technically an MCT by name, it doesn’t metabolically behave in the same way as the others.
Lauric acid is the predominant component of coconut oil, typically about 50%. C8 and C10, by comparison, make up 6% and 9%, respectively. Lauric acid still has plenty of health benefits, and coconut oil is a very healthy fat, but the MCT oil in PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal has a much higher concentration of C8 and C10 and therefore gives you more energy.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ should not be taken with other proteins, fats, or oils because they can significantly slow down the absorption rate, which usually takes only 20 minutes. This rapid absorption is part of how PERFECT AMINO™ provides such powerful performance-enhancing benefits. The presence of other macronutrients will trigger different digestive processes that slow the passage of material into the small intestine where absorption occurs. MCTs, however, are not typical fats. They are absorbed very quickly and do not slow down the digestive process.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is 100% keto-friendly. The only carbohydrate in PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal, Carb10, does not raise blood sugar or insulin levels. Carb10 was tested in preliminary experiments and individuals taking up to 60g of Carb10 maintained full ketosis.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal is a perfect addition to your intermittent fasting regimen. We recommend that you use PERFECT AMINO™ alone in the morning and then a shake for lunch within your six-to-eight-hour window for meals.
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal contains 7.5 grams of PERFECT AMINO™. When adjusting for the actual amino acid utilization by your body, or AAU, this is the equivalent of:
A: While PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal does contain Carb10, a carbohydrate derived from peas to meet the body’s energy demands, tests show that it has zero effect on blood sugar and does not create an insulin spike. The other ingredients in PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal (PERFECT AMINO™, MCT Oil, vitamins, minerals, and superfood blend) also do not raise blood sugar or spike insulin levels, making it easy to integrate into a diabetic diet. PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal gives you clean, sustainable energy without the rollercoaster of energy levels associated with the high glycemic additives found in many other protein supplements and meal replacements (such as sugar or maltodextrin).
A: PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal was designed to provide a nutrition base to help cover your essential health needs. Most people do not need to take a separate multivitamin in addition to PERFECT AMINO™ Power Meal.
