Amino acids are incredibly important to support muscle repair and promote a stronger immune system. As we welcome a new-to-our-stores brand focused on amino acids, we wanted to introduce BodyHealth and what separates their amino acid-based products from other brands.

BodyHealth's Mission & What Sets Them Apart

BodyHealth was founded by Dr. David Minkoff M.D., who is also the Medical Director for one of the nation’s largest alternative medical practices. Their motto is “Life Changing Nutrition”, with a focus on quality and purity of ingredients. BodyHealth products are designed to help you achieve and maintain optimum health and vitality in an increasingly toxic world.

The main ingredients of their PerfectAmino line are the 8 essential amino acids which have been lab-tested to be 99% utilized by the body to build new protein and collagen for lean muscle and healthy skin. Did you know that consuming the PerfectAmino products doesn’t break a fast? Those partaking in intermittent fasting can still consume the capsules or powdered amino acids and remain in a fasted state. While good quality protein can be consumed through eggs, meat, fish, and nuts, not all protein in food is converted into body protein. Instead, it can be turned into waste or converted into sugars and fats.

BodyHealth’s 99% protein utilization is a truly bioavailable way to ensure that you are meeting your protein needs. Another unique quality of BodyHealth PerfectAmino is that it absorbs within an average of 23 minutes! For reference, when consuming whey, pea or soy proteins, your body realistically only utilizes 16%-18% of protein, with the remainder being converted into glucose. Furthermore, protein content eating meat, fish and poultry utilizes around 32% by weight, with 68% potentially converting to glucose. These protein sources normally take at least an hour for it to be adequately digested.

BodyHealth PerfectAmino Products

PerfectAmino powders are a blend of the 8 essential amino acids and flavors include lemon lime, mixed berry, or mocha (which does contain caffeine). Although their amino formulas do not contain Histidine, another essential amino acid, through the consumption of the 8 essential amino acids Histidine will be adequately produced. All flavors are plant-based, keto, and paleo-friendly, while being free from dairy, soy, gluten, sugar, and preservatives. They are a great way for busy people to get in their required protein for the day! Offering 5 grams of amino acids per serving, one serving is the protein equivalent to approximately 30 grams of whey, pea, soy, and collagen. This is best taken 30 minutes before consuming other fats and proteins or 1-2 hours afterwards. Active people can benefit from taking this before a workout or at night for optimal muscle building and recovery!

PerfectAmino Electrolytes offers the 8 essential amino acids combined with a complete electrolyte replenishment for ample hydration and protein! The powders feature sodium, potassium, magnesium, trace minerals, zinc, and 2000 mg of PerfectAmino. Available in refreshing strawberry, orange, and watermelon flavors, this option is great for incredibly busy days or extra long workouts to replenish electrolytes lost through excess sweat.

PerfectAmino tablets offer 5 grams of essential amino acids but in a tablet form which may be an easier option for on-the-go aminos! Like the powdered form, this is absorbed in 20-30 minutes and has 99% amino acid utilization. One to two servings a day helps support muscle repair and recovery, while promoting hair, skin, and nails health, while also improving fatigue resistance.

Finally, we have the PerfectAmino bars! Each bar contains 10 grams of quality protein fortified with Perfect Amino. These nutrient-dense bars are made with whole food ingredients and high-quality MCTs for energy and satiety. They are gluten-free, vegan, kosher, non-GMO, and are free from soy, eggs, and dairy. Plus, each bar is only 7 net carbs! These convenient snacks are available in blondie, brownie, and mocha chip flavors.
