BodyHealth: Building Wellness from the Inside Out

Clean, effective, and easy to absorb: the kind of supplement your body has been waiting for.

Founded by Dr. David Minkoff, M.D., BodyHealth was born from a deeply personal mission. As the director of LifeWorks Wellness Center, one of the largest alternative medical clinics in the country, Dr. Minkoff saw firsthand how many patients struggled to recover fully. When his wife, Sue Minkoff, R.N., faced her own serious health challenges, he began formulating gentle detox and nutritional products to support her recovery. Those early efforts became the foundation for BodyHealth’s first product — Metal-Free & Chemical Cleanse. This sparked a supplement brand built on the principle that the body heals best when given the right tools.

Today, BodyHealth remains dedicated to creating clean, effective supplements designed to restore, regenerate, and optimize the body — from the cellular level up. Their flagship product is Perfect Aminos, providing a foundation to nearly all of their supplement line.

Rethinking Protein: What Your Body Actually Needs

Understanding protein really means understanding amino acids — the building blocks that make it all possible. During our recent BodyHealth training, one thing became clear: most of us have been taught a few myths about protein that don’t quite hold up.

Here are a few common protein myths worth rethinking:

Myth #1: We get plenty of protein in our diet.

Many of us eat enough grams of protein, but not all of it is used for building tissue — some is converted to energy or stored as fat (see chart). Whereas, Perfect Aminos delivers all essential amino acids in the right ratios for nearly 100% utilization, supporting muscle, skin, and overall cellular health.

Myth #2: All protein is the same.

A gram of protein from peanut butter isn’t the same as a gram from an egg — or from BodyHealth’s Perfect Aminos. The difference lies in amino acid profiles and how well our bodies can actually use them for repair and recovery.

Myth #3: Taking collagen automatically builds collagen.

Collagen supplements supply a handful of helpful amino acids, but your body still needs the full range of essential amino acids to actually build collagen, elastin, and keratin.

The Collagen Connection

Collagen powders have become a go-to for supporting healthy hair, skin, and nails — and research suggests they can offer some real benefits. For example, studies show that hydrolyzed collagen supplementation may improve skin hydration and elasticity, especially with long-term use.[1] At Haskill Creek, we carry Truvani Collagen, a hydrolyzed collagen, (meaning broken down into smaller parts) for improved digestibility and absorption and sourced from humanely-raised bovine.

Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids. When ingested, your body breaks it down into these building blocks, which are then used for a variety of functions — not just producing more collagen. That’s certainly not a bad thing, it just means collagen isn’t a 1:1 delivery system to the skin.

Perfect Aminos takes a more comprehensive approach. By delivering all the essential amino acids in a highly bioavailable form, they provide the complete building blocks your body needs to naturally produce collagen, elastin, and keratin — supporting skin, hair, and nails from the inside out.

Why Amino Acids Matter

Amino acids are the true building blocks of life — not just for protein, but for the molecules that keep your body running smoothly.

They come in two main types:

• Essential amino acids – the ones your body cannot make on its own. These are crucial for muscle repair, recovery, and protein synthesis.
• Non-essential amino acids – The body can create the remaining 14 amino acids from the essential ones, but production can be limited by stress, illness, or age.

Amino acids don’t just build protein — they’re also the foundation for key neurotransmitters and hormones that influence mood, focus, energy, and sleep. Your body also needs another set of compounds, called nucleic acids, to help repair and rebuild cells. These work alongside amino acids to support healthy DNA, cell regeneration, and optimal protein synthesis.[2]

As we age, the body naturally produces fewer digestive enzymes, making it harder to break down and absorb protein from food alone. And for anyone managing chronic stress, inflammation, or illness, that gap can be even greater.[3]

That’s why high-quality supplementation can be so impactful. BodyHealth’s Perfect Aminos delivers all essential amino acids plus supportive nucleic acid building blocks in a highly bioavailable form that’s efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body, thus giving your body the full set of tools it needs to repair, rebuild, and thrive.

Spotlight: Perfect Aminos

At the core of BodyHealth’s supplement line is Perfect Aminos, a proprietary blend designed for maximum absorption and use. Unlike typical protein powders that your body has to digest, Perfect Aminos are already in a form your body can use immediately, allowing almost every gram to go straight to work.

What’s inside:

• 8 essential amino acids – the foundation for protein synthesis and cellular repair
• Nucleic acid building blocks – which support DNA/RNA function and overall cellular regeneration

The result is a comprehensive support system for your body, helping with:

• Muscle repair and recovery
• Hormone and neurotransmitter production
• Cellular repair and regeneration
• Hair, skin, and nail health

Whether you’re training hard, managing stress, or simply wanting your body to function at its best, Perfect Aminos delivers the building blocks your body can actually use — clean, complete, and highly absorbable.
