Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How Much PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal Should I Take?

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.

Q: When Should I Take PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal?

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.

Q: I am a Vegan. Does PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal Contain Any Animal Products?

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.

Q: Can I Take Other Protein Supplements with PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal?

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.

Q: Where Are The Amino Acids Sourced From?

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.

Q: How is MCT Oil Different Than Coconut Oil? Isn’t Coconut Oil Mostly MCTs?

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.

Q: I Thought I Was Not Supposed to Take PERFECT AMINO® with Fats or Oils, but PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal Contains MCTs?

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.

Q: Will PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal Throw Me Out of Ketosis?

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.

Q: Can I Use PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal With Intermittent Fasting?

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.

Q: How Much Protein is in PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal Compared to Other Dietary Protein Sources?

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:

• 47 grams of whey or soy protein
• 23 grams of meat or fish
• 15 grams of whole eggs

Q: I am Diabetic, Will This Spike My Insulin Levels?

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).

Q: Should I Continue To Take My Multivitamin With PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal?

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.

How to Use PERFECT AMINO® Power Meal:

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.

The Perfect Meal Replacement Shake - What’s Inside:

PERFECT AMINO®:  is a blend of essential amino acids (EAAs). Essential amino acids are required by the body to support muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and many metabolic functions. EAAs can help support protein synthesis, especially when total calorie or protein intake is low. Because they are provided in free-form, they are absorbed quickly and can be efficiently used by the body.

MCT Oil: Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fat that is metabolized more rapidly than long-chain fats. This product contains caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids. MCT oil provides a fast-digesting energy source and may contribute to mild ketone production. Some people experience improved mental focus or satiety when consuming small amounts.

Carb10: is a carbohydrate derived from peas, designed to provide energy with a relatively moderate glycemic response compared to refined sugars. It supplies digestible carbohydrates to support physical and mental activity. Its structure may result in a slower or smoother rise in blood glucose compared to simple sugars.

Vitamins and Minerals: This product contains a blend of 22 essential vitamins and minerals, including B-vitamins, magnesium, and selenium, which support normal metabolic and physiological functions. These micronutrients help support energy metabolism, immune function, and overall nutritional adequacy when dietary intake may be insufficient.

Superfood Blend: A blend of plant-based ingredients such as moringa, wheatgrass juice, cacao, green tea powder, spirulina, and saw palmetto. These ingredients provide naturally occurring antioxidants and phytonutrients that may support general health when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
