Animal Pak....

Yea I think the green urine was with people who were taking 2 packages a day, and from what I can tell, not hydrating enough.

I think this form of nutrient requires making sure you are maximizing your daily fluid intake.

It works, its not significant, you piss out most of it by the end of your day, the amount it costs (around $60 per month) isnt worth the value you get out of it. You're better off with protein, creatine, nitric oxide, amino acids, and some sport multivitamins advised by the chemist.

I'm not actually using it for any considerable gains.
I'm happy in the weight region I'm at, I'm just solidifying what I've got.

I'm using the Animal Pak for a little energy boost in the mornings, I use a Whey-Glutamine&BCAA's mix for my post training supplement.

With some Carbs i hope? :-)

Nothing wrong with Animal Pak - contains all the vitamins and mineral required for an effective immune system, energy metabolism which is important for an athlete. Seems to contain all the antioxidant nutrients to fight free radicals which also good - Vitamins C/E - selenuim/manganese etc

I think people look at it and compare it to creatine etc and because you can't actually feel it 'doing anything' it's easier to write it off. I've never used it personally but from the ingredient list it contains pretty much everything an athlete should be taking.

bro what you're saying is right, but like its not magic, its just a bit of extra nutrients, they jack so much vitamins in there, that its more than the body needs, so you end up urinating it, the price is bullshit as well man. But i guess if you've got money to blow then its alright

Athletes do have increased vitamin and mineral needs due to their role in energy metabolism, glycolysis, lipolysis, protein metabolism, protein syntesis etc...

Can anybody find out the exact quantities of the vitamins and minerals in Animal pak? I can't. I can only find info that says it contains them....without specifiying the amounts.

Not sure i agree with the price, probably cheaper to buy several vitamins and adjust the dosage accordingly. That's what i do anyway - price wise it works out just fine.
