Perfect Amino User Guide
Essential amino acids in exact ratio - up to 99% utilized to build new protein and collagen in the body without the caloric impact of other protein sources.
How to Take Perfect Amino
PERFECT AMINO has its largest impact when taken on its own. This is because other foods can slow its absorption and, to a small degree, lessen its effect.
Take PERFECT AMINO away from other foods, either 30 minutes before eating or 1-2 hours after eating for best results, but if you can't – still take it, as it will still benefit you nearly as much.
One serving of PERFECT AMINO is:
• 5 tablets OR 1 scoop of powder
• Most people take 2-4 servings per day
• For best results, take 2 servings together for your first dose of the day (10 tablets or 2 scoops)
Mixing instructions
The powders can be mixed with water, juice, pre or post workout formulas, smoothies, and even coffee. Mocha, Chocolate and Vanilla flavors taste fantastic in coffee, and can even be used in baking up to 500°F.
Mix powder in 10-20 ounces of liquid. Start with 10 ounces and adjust to your taste preference.
Timing for sleep
When taking PERFECT AMINO at night, some people experience energy increases while others experience deeper sleep. If it keeps you up, take PERFECT AMINO 3-4 hours before bedtime to ensure deeper, more refreshing sleep and recovery.
Fasting and Perfect Amino
As PERFECT AMINO is up to 99% utilized to synthesize new protein, providing almost no caloric impact, taking it during a fast or fasted workout will not break the fast.
If you take enough PERFECT AMINO during a fast, you will find you maintain, and in some cases gain lean muscle, while still losing excess body fat.
Dosage Guidelines
For general health, supporting muscle and bone, improved energy levels, better sleep, mood, and recovery, and softer, smoother skin:
Start with amounts according to your body weight. While less can be taken, if you take these amounts you will notice a difference within 1-3 weeks, for some people sooner.

Protein Replacement Comparison
1 serving (5 grams) of PERFECT AMINO® compares to approximately:
30 grams of protein from whey, pea, soy or collagen powders
15 grams of protein from meats
10 grams of protein from whole eggs
Fat Loss
Replacing other protein powders with PERFECT AMINO in the proper ratios will reduce your calories. PERFECT AMINO also helps to reduce cravings for sugar and junk food, the two things that derail most diets.
The essential amino acids in protein are necessary for the creation of our key fat burning hormones: Thyroid, IGF-1, Growth Hormone, Progesterone, and Testosterone. Our body can only produce these hormones to the degree that it has the key building blocks needed to create them.
Workout and Performance
When working out, the most important times to take PERFECT AMINO are 20-30 minutes before your workout and then again before bed. It can be taken with pre and post workout drinks.
PERFECT AMINO is fully absorbed into the bloodstream in an average of 23 minutes. Taking 2 servings 20-30 minutes before a workout allows it to be present and able to start repair as muscle damage occurs during the workout. This also increases endurance to allow for longer workouts.
Taking it again before bed provides your body with what it needs for fuller recoveries.
Maximum Dosage
Taking more will help more. You would be surprised at the levels of muscle growth you can get naturally when increasing PERFECT AMINO intake.
Safety Information:
Protein toxicity doesn't come from consuming too much protein. It comes from the breakdown of amino acids in the protein we ate that were not used by the body. With PERFECT AMINO, there is almost no amino acid breakdown as it's near 99% utilized to build new protein. So there is almost no nitrogen release.
High-Performance Protocol
For extreme workout schedules, some people take 8-10 servings per day with significant results. Space servings 1-2 hours apart, as the body can only fully use about 10 grams (2 servings) at a time.
Morning
2 servings upon waking
Pre-Workout
2 servings 20-30 minutes before exercise
Post-Workout (Optional)
1-2 servings after training
Evening
2 servings before bed
Understanding Calories and Protein
While most people have been told that a gram of protein contains 4 calories, this is generalized. A calorie is a measurement of how much energy a nutrient produces when used as fuel. But until or unless it is used as fuel, it is only a potential calorie.
As at least some of the protein we eat is used to build muscle, bone, skin, etc., it is obviously not being used as fuel or we would build no muscle.
Because the amount of usable protein and energy we get depends on the specific amino acids in a protein and how much of each one is present, different protein sources end up giving us different amounts of usable protein and calories.
PERFECT AMINO can be directly compared to other protein sources in terms of both protein synthesis and effective calorie load:
- 5 grams (1 serving) of PERFECT AMINO — near zero effective calories.
- 30 grams from whey, pea, soy, or collagen protein powders — about 98.4 effective calories.
- 15 grams of protein from meats — about 40.8 effective calories.
- 10 grams of protein from whole eggs — around 20.8 effective calories.
This gives a clearer picture of how not all proteins are equal when it comes to actual usable protein and caloric impact.
