We consider the role of internal kinetic energy bound systems matter in tests Einstein equivalence principle. Using gravitational sector standard model extension, we show that stringent limits on principle violations antimatter can be indirectly obtained from using normal matter. estimate nucleons a range light atomic species Green's function Monte Carlo calculations, and for heavier Woods-Saxon model. survey sensitivities existing planned experimental principle, report new constraints at level between few parts ${10}^{6}$ ${10}^{8}$ antimatter.
