Animal Pak Review

MuscleHeadGuy · 09-04-2008, 12:04 PM

My first reaction upon opening the can: HOLY SHIIIT! Not only did the size of some of the pills remind me of something horses consume, but also how many there were. At first, it did seem like quite a task to down all of these pills first thing in the morning, which is usually when a multivitamin is taken. I have tried taking the whole small handful and swallowing them all at once. I gagged and choked, lol. That obviously didn't work out for me. I also tried breaking the pills in half and consuming them in halves. That cuts down the size of the pills, but creates more pieces to consume. I even tried crushing the whole package of vitamins and mixing the powder in with a protein shake. Baaad idea. It seems rather simple and convenient, but I'm a person who enjoys drinking his protein shake. I like to savor the flavor. All I tasted was liver. There were also many small fragments of the pills still left over and caked up at the bottom of the blender. This was months ago. Needless to say, I've manned up. I consume the whole package and pound down some water. I've tried several different mulvitamins, such as GNC's Mega Men's Sport and One-A-Day Men's, and those don't even compare to Animal Pak. There's just something about the array of vitamins and mineras in the Pak. I've never felt so energized and healthy on any other multivitamin. The Pak will definitely remain a staple for me so long as I'm hitting the gym. Once you get past the fact that this really is a pack of pills, you'll begin to enjoy the many benefits of the Pak.

There's just something about the OTC multivitamins. It seems as if they'll cover one basis, but then not another. I feel my best while taking Animal Pak. I've gotten past choking the pills down, but it's well worth it. I'm ordering another can soon.

Thanks for the review MHG. Honestly, Animal Pak ain't for everyone. It was never intended to be... First, ya gotta get past all the pills. But like you said, once you do, you'll see the difference.

Solid review and one I can compare with. Did many of the same things bro while I learned too. Turns out that breaking or crushing the pills in the Pak compromises it's time release function. The size, shape, thickness and coating thickness and hardness all work together to control when the nutrients are released into your system.

Since then I too have learned to just man up and swallow my pack whole. Heck I even throw in a few extra Uni-Liver tabs with it now and they go along for the ride as well.

As you said, I definitely feel better when I'm using the Pak also. In more ways than one. There is no substitute. Glad to see others getting the same results.

I think it is funny how you know your body has absorbed and digested the pills/minerals/vitamins is when you use the facilities to drain yourself of bodily fluids and it look like Lemon Gatorade an hour or two after taking The Pak!

I won't lie I always check and make sure so I know my body is properly absorbing and taking everything in!

It seems like Animal Paks are really hard for your body to digest. Put a whole pack in some warm water and vinegar and most did not break down by the next day.
