Animal Pak

[Johnny_Whoops]

Gents,

I'm moving into my 4th week of:

12 Test E. 500
10 Deca 300

My diet is very clean but I'm thinking I need a good multi V or something. I'm not taking anything. I have Universal's Animal Pak, but I've laid off of it for months. I know when I take it my piss is like Mountain Dew which means I'm pissing the spillover of the vitamins my body won't absorb. That being said, my liver has got to process all those fucking horse-pill ingredients and that coupled with the gear may not be the best thing for me?? What do you think? Animal Pak good to go on gear or should I find some sort of all in 1 multi??

This is better and you can take a half dosage:http://proteinfactory.com/shop/product.php?productid=427&cat=0&page=1

If your piss is that yellow you need to drink more water. If you don't, you're risking kidney stones.

Good advice

Dude you should be pissing 24/7 and shitting a grip when your on gear just means your bodys flushing out the toxins Any multi vitamin is fine just make sure you take one right after you work out becuase your body depletes a lot of your zinc and magnesium ( crucial to body building ) post workout.

i love animal paks.....my piss won't go yellow if i take in 1.5-2 G of water a day. actually, i use ast's 32pro multis for the most part of the year, but switch to animal paks during the season.

I'm a big fan of the DX7 from protein factory, solid profile.

As far as the H20 intake goes, I tell my patients to try and achieve at least one clear stream of urine daily, as a GENERAL rule of thumb.

No, the yellow is the excess b vitamins. Even if you are well hydrated, you'll have fluorescent piss.

As for you liver bro, well it processes proteins, vitamins, and sugar too. Should you stop eating? Unless you have some 17-AA vitamins I would say they are crucial.

If you're eating a clean and balanced diet with a lot of variety in it you really minimize your need for such an over the top MVM like an Animal Pak.

I like Animal Paks personally.... especially while "on"... I see it this way: when you're "on", you tax your body even more and nutritional requirements increase... so it doesn't hurt to have a multi that may be considered "over the top"

I'm in agreement with you there. I think the assumption here is that people substitute something like an Animal Pak where you would normally have cruciferous vegetables, legumes, and whole grain products. IMO that's not a good way to eat. It's definately not sustainable and puts you in a situation to deplete your body of calcium as it uses it to buffer the really acidic diet we normally eat in the BB lifestyle. I think deplete may be a bad word to use there, but you will excrete calcium if you eat an acidic diet, which most of us do. Bone loss is definately not healthy for BBers

yeah, I'll burn thru the animal pak while I have it. I do like it. Burps from it are nasty though, but I take in so much protein I'm farting all the time anyway. I sickened myself this morning climbing into my truck.....thing needs a breath mint.

As for you liver bro, well it processes proteins, vitamins, and sugar too. Should you stop eating? Unless you have some 17 alpha-alkylated vitamins I would say they are crucial.

not only the excess b vitamins..also the excess c vitamin.

Animal pak whether im on or off. Take em

 

[jumpshot]

Always take a multi. Take fish oil, flax, and a superfood compound powder (antiox) as well.

I go by how I feel, and what I take makes me alert and feel energetic and on it.

just my opinion, but Animal Pak seems low quality due to the pills breaking apart easily(usually a good sign) and the lack of affect it has a me. right now I take GNC's Mega men but I think it may be a little over priced, just needed it in a pinch. i sat down and did a comparison of 4 different types of multi's. Twin Lab's Super Twin came out on top on basic vitamin and mineral percentages and on bang for your buck. DX 7 came out ahead on number of valuable ingredients, including the vit and min. maybe a little priceir but it does contain more. and no fluff that i have seen. haven't tried either yet because of a current stock.
I take one in the morning and one at night while on. that keeps it in my system nearly all day but allows for my body to piss clean at least once during the day. just my 2cc
