Animal Pak
Overview
If you're a bodybuilder, professional or amateur athlete you probably already know that you absolutely need a multivitamin to be at the top of your game. Multis aren't exciting, but they're important. You may have also noticed that choosing multivitamins is lot harder and a lot less fun than choosing other types of supplements. There are way too many nutrients and other factors to take into consideration, and most are made by companies that don't really specialize in or have much to do with sports nutrition. If you're still looking around for the right multi to support your strength training and conditioning, you should know about Universal Nutrition's Animal Pak. This is a perennial top-selling multivitamin pack among bodybuilders, professional and dedicated amateur athletes and would be a great choice for you too.
What's so special about the Animal Pak? It's a combination of factors. Animal Pak has certainly been marketed well. But it's also a product from a company people already know and trust with respect to sports nutrition – Universal. Universal Nutrition has a great reputation in the industry and has plenty of experience making sports nutrition supplements. That may not be true of whatever company made the multi you're taking now.
The Animal Pak formula also goes way beyond your current multi in terms of ingredients. This is not a basic multivitamin in any sense. It does cover all of the essential vitamins and minerals without really skimping on any one nutrient (we think it'd be great to include a little more magnesium at the expense of some calcium). But just as much of each pack is devoted to nonessential nutrients that support strength, stamina or muscle conditioning in some way. Animal Pak contains generous potencies of a wide array of nutrients from across the spectrum, over 55 in all; vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, herb extracts, bioflavonoids and enzymes. Accordingly, there are a substantial amount of capsules and tablets per dose with Animal Pak; so this is not a product for those who are shy about taking tablets. Universal must have reasoned that it you can sling a few hundred pounds around in the gym, you should have no trouble handling a few large tablets. We can't promise you you'll feel any different or better with Animal Pak, that's just the nature of multis, but you can be sure you're getting a lot of support for whatever your training goals are.

Something you need for building and even good health
4/05/2010 by Statik
This user purchased this item from AllStarHealth.com
|
| |
| Details: Universal Nutrition has had a very long track record for years and has "always" pumped out quality products. If there's one thing I've learned its to stand by a health company and not as much a health product.
Animal pak covers soo many areas with every vitamin and amino acid you need to support for building and health. I have went back and forth from product to product but animal pak is one that always held up to my test of time. I have had issues with dry flaky hands and after taking this it disappears entirely. Just read the freaking ingredients. It's got everything and more. Good for health, meant for building, and definitely on my list of shtuff to power me in the gym. Anyone that knows anything about building knows everything in this is important.

THE bodybuilders one per day

| Details: I have used this product faithfully and with great results since 1991. It is the staple in most serious bodybuilders supplement regimen. It is necessary for replenishing the basics depleted during heavy weight training.

Great Product!!

| Details: I bought this product because I was recommended it by someone. They said that it not only gives them the vitamins and minerals they needed, but it gives them this feeling that pumps them up and keeps them going through out the day. So I bought it and tried it for myself. This stuff works wonders. It was the best multivitamin/nutrition pack I have ever taken. This stuff is amazing!! I take it every day and don't miss a day without it. I take it with the trac supplement and it works awesome. It makes you feel like an animal!!

One of the best multis for athletes and bodybuilders
6/06/2008 by MarkTfromASH
|
| |
| Details: This is one of the very few multivitamins formulated specifically for those who lift weights, work out, play sports or do anything athletic. I use a lot of other sports supplements and have found that the better your fundamental nutrition and diet are, the better your body seems to respond to specific-purpose supplements like preworkout formulas. If you train, you need a multi even though it's not the most exciting way to spend your money. This is the multi I have used along with tens of thousands of others, it has quite a following. I think they could probably trim the formula down a little to cut down on the number of tablets, but that's my only complaint. If it's time for you to start taking a multi and you train hard, this would be a great choice. As it is now, it's a lot of tablets to swallow, but as long as you take your time and dont try to gulp them all down at once, it's no big deal.
