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.

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.

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 PERF
