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.

I've got my carbs in my protein shake - SN Twister - a really good athletes whey, BCAA, glutamine blend.

I don't take supplements to feel myself grow or anything, merely to stop myself aching and breaking up!

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

I've concluded it is making an actual difference.
At first I thought it may have been a placebo effect, but my concentration levels in class and my energy levels in training are definitely higher than before.

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.

Price wise, I'd end up paying more for seperate supplements.
Its banned here because of the vitamin E and B12 levels, so when you can get it its dirt cheap.
