So i've heard alot about Animal Pak, i was wondering if it is something that would be good just to take daily as a multivitamin to get everything u need, even if your not a competitive body builder? And is it ok to use if u are under 18

don't know what it is but if you don't stay on it you'll probably lose whatever you gain from it

Animal Pak is a Multivitamin. If you take it, go for one a day, probably with Breakfast. Remember some of those things, could help take your daily levels of certain Vitamins, beyond the necessary point, and with something like Vitamin K, too much can be negative.

So your saying Animal Pak may give you too much of certain things if taken more than once daily...or that it may give you too much of certain things anyway, only if taken once a day.

Yes, I'm saying stick to one a day, so your daily consumption of certain Vitamins, Minerals and other things, that are in the Multivit, don't get too high.

Some people take Vitamins, when they don't need too, and some can help, but not in large amounts.

A Multivit, should only be needed once a day, to boost any low intake of beneficial Vitamins and Minerals.

Animal Pak contains more than vitamins. It has amino acids, enzymes to aid in digestion, Essential fatty acids, and performance optimizers such as ginseng. I take Animal Pak, but I take half the recommended dose. I am on a very strenuous muscle building program right now. I take half the dose because the vitamin amounts are over board, in my opinion.

So does anyone believe that there is a potential risk of getting too much of what you need if you only take ONE pack per day, and if that were possible, could it possibly be dangerous or cause problems?

Can't tell you that. Some Vitamins / Minerals have possible side effects, Vitamin K being one when overconsumed.

The possible risk from any such Vitamins / Minerals, in connection to overconsupmtion, would depend on your dietry intake.

Some could take one Animal Pak and be fine, others may only need to take half.

There may be other possible things to consider, like some of the content in Animal Pak, competing with certain nutrients in your Food intake, e.g things like Magensium / Calcium, which I believe but might be wrong, need about 30-60 minutes space between each, to avoid competing.

That said, try a half like Sarah does. I think you'll only need that at the minute, and take the half first thing, to help boost your Metabolic wake up, and so you're more likely to have consistant daily consumption of it, instead of say having it with a Lunch or Dinner.

You'll more than likely better train your memory, to have the half first thing, than trying to remember at 12PM or 6PM say.

When you say half like sarah does do you mean taking half of one pak?
