mmm those gummy bear vitamins look good! How come they dont make vitamins like that for
adults?I have several friends that dont take vitamins b/c of the size hard to
swallow. Animal pak seems to be the most popular at the Vitamin shoppe
and on sale! Just might have to get some. :)

Amen to the stupidity that is advertising, but there might be a bit of a jump from animal shaped vitamins and marketing poor social choices on bubblegum wrappers etc.

I've taken them a couple years ago when i was just lifting, before I started doing triathlons. Theres like 12 pills in a pack and you take a pack a day. I didn't really notice a difference other than my pee being fluorescent yellow/green. I would take them again, I like how its individual pills instead of every vitamin being smashed into one pill.

I really makes your pee radioactive fluorecent :-D ....I remember that when back in my teens I took it for a little while.
Now I have been reading some material about this super pack of mighty pills.
The reviews are rave good. All of the sites and web pages I looked everybody swears those pills are magic and make you a better athlete.
First point in favor of the Animal Pak, they have been out in the market for quite some time already, and that might be a slight prove that they might be of some good. I cheked and seems like they adjust the formula, I remember they use to have in the pill mix Yohimbine Bark root extract, a potent stimulant that can even rise your blood preasure and give you a headache. Now they don´t show in the label that stuff anymore, they only keep the Russian and Asian Gingseng as their top notch workout stimulant.
The other thing that might be sort of useful and practical is that the whole pill mix comes together in a little "pak".

It surprise me to read some reviews made by track athletes who say that it is great for recuperation, performance and nutrition, one even said that helps for sore muscles (sounds more like an oitment). I could not find endurance oriented athletes who use this product. Might be kind of interesting to find it out.
The ones who use this thing the most of course are bodybuilders, powerlifters, boxers and MMA fighters.

Now from the whole mixture of ingridients, some of them have been highly discussed, mostly because they are not useful at all, in other words, stuff that you put in your body, to put extra work on your liver and kidneys, just to make your urine more colorful and with a stronger sent. Among them is: callostrum, argentine liver (sounds like beef to me), shark cartilage (orientals swear this is THE THING, not proven completely by science), to name the most notorious.

There are no particular piece in the medical and/or nutritional literature that supports the greatness and name that the mighty Animal Pack has; but there are plenty of stuff to read that recomends to get your vitamins and nutrition by ingesting real food and a well balance diet.

Remember that starting the Animal Pack once, might also enhance the placebo effect in the back of your mind, and by the time you are tired of urinating like radioactive waste product, and your pocket is a little resentful for the spending each 22 days for a new supply, you might experience some sort of withdrawal and during the course of the ingestion of the pills a sort of dependency. Not too mentions that by reading all those super reviews and thank yous to Universal, the thought of trying at least ones even crossed my mind.

Better go for a simpler option of vitamins at your local drug store, much cheaper, and a well planned diet that will make you excel as a triathlete.

I use Animal products - Pak, Omega, and the joint one (whatever it is called). I like them - they are complete, have everything you could ever possibly want in a vitamin/fatty acid/joint supplement. If you don't mind swallowing a ton of pills, then it's for you. There really is no difference to the "quality" of vitamins that you get in Animal Pak - but it does have some other things that you don't find anywhere else. I'll keep using them.
