whats good about animal pak

Animal pak has about 2000% of everything you need to make sure your getting your vitamnins. From what ive been reading into though, it's not worth your money over taking a good mens one a day (like the gnc ones). Right now i take a one a day on non lifting days and a pak after the meal before my workout on lifting days. Swallowing 11 pills kinda sucks though. Is it good? Yes. Worth it? meh.......

wow 11 pills

guys dont forget, if you dont have a deficiency in those vitamins then your just pissing it out. IMO take the cheapest multi you can find.

What do you mean by this ?

Well lets say your taking any regular multi, and it provides 100% (based on 2000 cal diet or whatever) of 25 different vitamins per day.

But out of those 25 vitamins, your body may already have all it needs of say 15, 16, or 22 of them. That means your taking in a lot of extra vitamins that your body wont use, so you just piss them out.

This happens regardless of the multi you use, some people need more of one thing and less of another. The only way to really tell is to get blood work done, and see what your deficient(sp?) in, then suppliment with just those things. That may or may not be economical/reasonable for some of us, so taking the cheapest multi IMO will keep you from wasting a shit ton of money on stuff your probrably just pissing out anyway.

I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
