Since August 8, 1983, Animal Pak has been helping competitive bodybuilders get the most out of their freakish training routines by providing all the nutrition they need, plus some they didn’t know they needed. For 25 straight years, people like you have made Animal Pak the #1 selling training “pack” in the world. In fact, more competitive bodybuilders have cut their teeth on the Animal Pak than any other bodybuilding supplement in history. Why? Simple. Animal Pak gets the job done. It works. First time. Every time. Animal Pak has stood the test of time. See, nature, in all her ingenuity, has designed the human body as the ultimate training machine. Since the dawn of mankind, our bodies have changed very little. And when it comes to growing our muscles in a freakish way, we still need the right combination and mega-doses of essential amino acids, carbs, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Only Animal Pak has everything you need. OK, so you think your regular multi is going to cut it? Get real, Jack. You want massive size and mega-strength and only Animal Pak can deliver. Each Animal Pak starts with mega-doses of necessary vitamins and minerals. Yeah, vitamins and minerals. Vitamins (organic) and minerals (inorganic) are pharmacological agents and catalysts. They can exert significant ergogenic/anabolic benefits and function as the spark plugs for activating all the necessary chemical reactions which make training and building muscle possible. If you’re training or dieting hard for a contest, the first thing that happens when you don’t take the Animal Pak is that nutritional gaps begin to form. Why should you care? Because over time, these deficiencies continue to grow. Eventually, your body will stop functioning at its optimum level. In other words, you hit the wall, your development reaches a plateau. In fact, even if only one key nutrient is missing from your diet, your body could shut down the anabolic drive needed to build muscle so that it can support more critical metabolic processes. When this happens, you stop growing. Research has proven that strength athletes such as bodybuilders and powerlifters, due to the intensity and frequency of their training programs, have higher nutritional requirements than regular athletes. Studies have shown that these unique needs are greatly increased for bodybuilders who regularly compete and need to diet down. During calorie-restricted diets (diets which tend to be repetitive and monotonous, e.g., rice and chicken), the potential for nutritional deficiencies increase dramatically. More alarming is the fact that championship-caliber bodybuilders, even when supplementing with a regular multivitamin, were still experiencing significant nutritional deficiencies. A basic multivitamin supplement won’t be enough. Competitive bodybuilders know that a superior multivitamin is the first line of defense. This fact is confirmed by studies which have revealed that 100% of Olympic weightlifters and over 90% of competitive male and female bodybuilders use a vitamin/mineral supplement like Animal Pak. These nutritional gaps not only affect your performance and size, but they begin to impact the way your other supplements work. […]

2010 Top Supplements
Universal Nutrition Animal Flex
Complete “foundational” joint supplementation designed specifically for the serious powerlifter and bodybuilder. None of that 3x a day stuff. Just a single pack a day, and you’re good to go. “This is a game for warriors. The iron sport is grueling, painful and arduous. Whether it’s in the gym or with your diet, being an Animal is about consistency and giving everything you got 24/7, 365 days a year… Approaching the business of bodybuilding like it’s your job—and it ain’t a cushy white collar gig with a corner office. It’s back-breaking labor, day in and day out. You move the heavy weight in the gym and eat the right calories to pack on muscle because you know it’s what’s required. It’s not just what you want to do—it’s what you gotta do. The bottom line is desire and the need to push the limits—to be bigger and stronger, to go heavier and longer than Mother Nature ever intended. But good intentions and enthusiasm can lead you astray. When you’re pounding the weights like this, you subject your body to a tremendous amount of punishment—punishment that can lead to wear and tear and injury. All this will impede your progress. Further, it is sometimes possible to put on muscle faster than the supporting connective tissue and joints can handle. Truth is, in the unbridled quest to pack on mass, novices and experienced veterans alike often focus on muscle, overlooking the structures that hold it all together. Animal Flex, like other Animal supplements, is complete and comprehensive. Each pack of Animal Flex consists of several key protective complexes: (1) a joint construction complex to help repair connective tissue; (2) a lubrication compound to help cushion the joints from lifting; (3) a support complex to help promote recovery; and (4) an essential vitamin/mineral blend to underscore optimal joint health.* As a joint “constructor”, Animal Flex is powered by proven reconstruction nutrients. Animal Flex™ provides the joints with the essential raw materials such as glucosamine (two forms), MSM, and chondroitin… Ingredients designed to naturally support joint health while strengthening the underlying cartilage and connective tissue.* These nutrients, once absorbed, can work quickly and efficiently to aid in the rebuilding of cartilage.* From a joint lubrication point of view, hyaluronic acid (HA), cetyl myristoleate (CMO), and flax seed oil provide the “lubricant” needed to coat your joints and protect them from the constant grind of training excess and resulting stiffness.* These joint lubricators naturally restore the oils present in the synovial fluid to make joints work smoothly and painlessly.* When it comes to joint support, Animal Flex, utilizes natural herbal extracts to help address the free radical load.* Finally, Animal Flex incorporates a specialized vitamin and mineral blend. This blend is added to provide maximum nutritional support. This key vitamin mix provides you with the basic essential micro-nutrients needed for joint health.* Nutrients such as Vitamins C, E, zinc, selenium and manganese are needed for to support healthy joints.* These nutrients provide the backbone for […]

USPlabs OXYelite
Great Tasting Advanced Leaning Protein FINALLY – Flavor & Science Together Without Protein “Tricks”! With Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), Medium Chain Triglycerides, Protein Digesting Enzymes as well as a new digestion resistance fiber known as PolyDextrose, OxyElite Protein is definitely a protein powder that is aimed at people looking get or stay lean. NO added maltodextrin, corn syrup or hydrogenated fats & ONLY 2 grams of NET CARBS per serving! Caffeine and Stimulant Free. One of the World’s Leading Protein Researchers States Specific Protein Combination is “Optimal”! OxyELITE Protein contains a precise blend of premium proteins including Milk Protein Isolate (MPI), which naturally contains a unique protein complex including both whey and casein. The protein combination found in MPI has been shown to have greater satiating ability, greater nitrogen retention, greater leaning potential and greater lean muscle impact than whey or casein alone. Did You Know That WPC Is Available Between 34% – 80% Protein Content? OxyELITE Protein also includes the highest quality (80%) Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) available. Unless your protein label specifically states what % it is, you may be consuming the cheap stuff that has higher lactose (milk sugar) and other unwanted byproducts. OxyELITE Protein includes premium WPC 80% and it’s clearly listed on the label-like it should be! The goal of ingesting protein is to flood the bloodstream with various amino acids, including the essential amino acids and, especially, BCAA, so that they can make it into skeletal muscle where they’re needed most. When you ingest whey protein alone, amino acid levels quickly peak in the blood in about an hour, but they quickly plunge thereafter. With casein, on the other hand, it takes around 7-8 hours for amino acid levels to return to baseline and in the case of BCAA levels, they’re still elevated even after 8 hours. Whey protein has its place, especially within that first hour of ingestion, but you’ll either need to ingest hourly servings of whey or add casein for the longer-term effects. OxyELITE Protein contains a precise mixture of whey and casein proteins to help you avoid catabolic pitfalls. Milk Protein Isolate (MPI) is a premium protein that contains various different proteins, namely whey and casein. MPI supplies both fast and slow digesting proteins to ensure fast and timed release protein support… This combination in MPI is superior to whey or casein alone, according to available research… In recent groundbreaking studies, the protein combination found in MPI has been shown to have greater satiating ability, greater nitrogen retention, greater leaning potential and last, but not least, greater lean muscle impact than whey or casein alone! OxyELITE Protein has been formulated because you want THE absolute best results; never accepting an inferior product. After all, looking and feeling your best is priceless… OxyELITE Protein not only contains world-class proteins, it’s also upgraded with these additional premium ingredients to further support your goals: Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): Known to possess anti-lipogenic activity in fat cells. Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT’s): Has been shown […]
