What is NSF Certified for Sport®?

What customers who switched have said
Unprompted comments from customers who used PerfectAmino® first and switched to OptimalAmino®. Their words, not ours.
I was a PA customer — operative word WAS. I was getting to a point where I couldn't afford PA. OA walks in and says I'm the way.
We used to pay $100–$150 just for a month's serving of amino tablets, and it was draining our wallets. Now we can use the remainder for other essentials.
I used a competitor but after two months the cost just wasn't sustainable when their serving per container is half of what's recommended.
I began two years ago taking EAA with your competitor. There was absolutely no way I was able to sustain the cost until I found OA.
I can now take the maximum of three servings per day. Before I switched to OA from PA I couldn't afford to take more than one serving.
Great product for half the cost of PerfectAmino.

Prices and label information accessed from optimalamino.com and bodyhealth.com in September 2026. PerfectAmino tablet and powder labels read "PERFECT AMINO EAA & NA Proprietary Blend." OptimalAmino labels list individual essential amino acid amounts in milligrams. PerfectAmino NSF Certified for Sport® powder is offered in Mixed Berry and Vanilla per BodyHealth's product description. Published RCT: Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2026. SuppCo TrustScores accessed from supp.co in September 2026; scores may be updated by SuppCo over time. Verify OptimalAmino's NSF certification at nsfsport.com.
BodyHealth also sells non-NSF-certified versions of PerfectAmino at lower price points: non-certified 300ct tablets at $81.95 and non-certified 300g powder at $83.95. These are not directly comparable to OptimalAmino because they do not carry NSF Certified for Sport® certification, but they are still more than double the price of the OptimalAmino products above.
