BodyHealth PerfectAmino Powder, Unflavored (Lightly Sweetened), 30 Servings

BodyHealth PerfectAmino Powder Unflavored is the plainest version of PerfectAmino. A 5.3 g scoop holds 5 g of essential amino acids and only a touch of sweetener, with no flavourings, citric acid or malic acid. It's the flavour to choose if you want to add amino acids to a drink you already like, without changing how that drink tastes. The tub holds 30 scoops.

What "unflavored" means here

The ingredient list is as short as PerfectAmino gets. Apart from the 5 g blend, the label lists three things: stevia leaf extract (Reb M), monk fruit extract and katemfe fruit extract. BodyHealth calls it lightly sweetened, because amino acids on their own taste bitter and the sweeteners take the edge off. There's no added flavour, no acid and no salt, which is why the scoop is lighter than the other flavours.

The PerfectAmino blend

The 5 g blend is the same one used in every PerfectAmino flavour and in the tablets. It lists the nine essential amino acids, leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan and histidine, with seven nucleic acid building blocks such as uridine, adenosine triphosphate and thymidine. Your body can't make essential amino acids, so they have to come from food or supplements. They are involved in muscle protein synthesis.

Ways to use Unflavored

The label's suggested use is 1 scoop, 1 to 3 times daily, mixed with 12 to 20 oz of water, about 355 to 590 mL. Because there's no flavour to clash with, it also goes into smoothies, juice, iced tea or a protein shake. PerfectAmino has been sold this way too. In March 2024 BodyHealth and Gary Brecka launched the PerfectAmino x Gary Brecka Smoothie at Erewhon in Los Angeles, made with PerfectAmino and BodyHealth Reds. If you'd rather not mix anything, PerfectAmino Tablets give the same 5 g in 5 tablets.

Who it suits

Unflavored suits people who dislike sweet fruit drinks, people who use several supplements and don't want competing flavours, people who already take a protein shake or greens powder and want to add amino acids to it, people who want to add amino acids to their own recipes, and anyone sensitive to citric acid. The label describes PerfectAmino as a vegan dietary supplement that is gluten- and dairy-free and paleo- and keto-friendly. It's made in a cGMP-certified facility for BodyHealth.com, LLC.

Unflavored or flavoured?

If you'll drink PerfectAmino on its own in water, a flavoured version is easier to enjoy. Our stores carry Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Mixed Berry and Vanilla. If you'll mix it into something else, Unflavored won't change the taste much. Start with less liquid than you normally use, taste it, then top up, since the light sweetness shows more in a small glass.
