dude for sure one a day, your going to be pissing 90% of that stuff out anyway. If your eating 6-12 fruits and veggies a day, you just wasted your money....

Just buy a multi-vit at Costco it like 400 for 12 bucks animal pack to me is a waste of money. You are paying for advertising

no just 1/100 of the cost of animal pack. Food and work make you big, cut and so on. Paying 1 dollar a day for a multi-vit to me is a waste of money but thats just me. It wont make you bigger, stronger, better looking it will just make your urine a pretty shade of yellow

That's a garbage vitamin though. Look at the ingredients. What you want in a vitamin is chelated nutrients or citrate or your body won't absorb over 80% of of what you are taking. Most cheap vitamins are just that, cheap. In turn, you are wasting your $12.00 because your body isn't absorbing them.

That is a very old article (over 10 years old). If you look and pull something more recent, you will see that studies are stating chelated and or citrate are the better forms of vitamins and minerals for optimal absorption.

hm. just realised. i plan to workout at like 4 in the morning most days. gona wake up at 3-3:30am, take n.o xplode. work out 30 minutes later, have cellmass post workout, then 20 minutes later truemass. by then i figure itll be around 5:30 and i leave for work at 6:00. how can i take animal pak if it says to take a pack 30 minutes after the meal prior to your workout? i dont really have any meals before my workout..any suggestions?

WTF? How can you workout without eating? I think that is a HUGE mistake, for many reasons.

because i get up at 3am and am always in a rush to get things done and get ready for work. gota leave by 6am and i have my first meal at 5:30am

I can't find any

chelated multivitamin absorption studies - Google Search

most just say take them with food

I know you probably don't want to read all of the info on the one I posted but it did say it was chelated, so I guess I'm good to go. I like their products. I've had pretty good luck with them.

Probably because it's chelated minerals, not multi's

2 good things that I see on there is that this vitamins contains methyl B12 and P-5-P for B6. Those 2 are very important. The worst thing I see is that it has calcium carbonate. Carbonate is garbage and you really should use calcium citrate or chelated. I wish it used methyl selenium too but it doesn't.

Over all it's a very good vitamin!

no real studies there

Thanks. I usually rotate the vitamin I take and thought about taking that one. I have been taking GNC's multi men sport.

I'm not fond of vitamins in tablet form because your body can't break them down real well. Capsule, powder or liquid is by far the best. If I recall GNC's vits are tablets.

bought animal pak today instead of the gnc mega man sport vita paks. it says to take one pack thirty minutes after the meal prior to your workout with plenty of water. for competitions and intense training, take two packets daily.

my question is: should i take two packets daily, or just one?
im questioning this because im 20, only 5"7 124lbs. im working on a push/pull/leg split and im definitely giving it everything ive got this month. plan to push myself as hard as i can and as far as possible. would i get better results taking 2 packs, or is that too much..too soon?

also if i take 2 packs. when's the best time to take them?
if i take 1. when's the best time?
